www.fe.doe.gov/news/techlines/2011/11020-Water_Treatment_System_Cleans_Marc.html
Altela Inc.'s AltelaRain® 4000 water desalination system was tested
at BLX, Inc.'s Sleppy well site in Indiana County, Pa. in a DOE-supported
demonstration project. During nine continuous months of operation,
the unit successfully treated 77 percent of the water stream onsite,
providing distilled water as the product. The average treated water
cost per barrel over the demonstration period was approximately 20
percent lower compared to the previous total conventional disposal
costs at the site. The system also significantly reduced the need
for trucking wastewater. Based on field data generated from the
field test, Altela increased the efficiency of its technology by
more than 30 percent. All of the clean water produced at the
demonstration site was suitable for beneficial re-use by well
operators for additional stimulations and was also suitable to be
discharged to surface waterways, thus reducing the economic and
environmental impacts of clean water usage. As a result of the DOE
demonstration project, Altela designed larger towers for the system
and four AltelaRain® 600 modules were sold and installed in
Williamsport, PA. to treat approximately 100,000 gallons per day of
produced and flowback water from hydraulic fracturing. |
