Green Machine Recycles Wastewater Used in Hydraulic Drilling Process for Natural GAs

Google Alert = HBC Systems, a newly created joint venture between Hydration Technology Innovations (HTI) and Bear Creek Services (BCS) have developed an envioronmetally-friendly water reclamation process that uses osmosis technology to recycle wastewater in the oil and gas industry.HBC's Bear Creek Green Machine is expected to eliminate the transport and disposal of contaminated reserve pit water and reduce the need for gas drillers to source and transport additional fresh water to the well sight. According to HBC the new system will save drillers millions of dollars in water and transportation cost - the system will reclaim more than 125,000 gallons of reserve pit waste using less than 20 gallons of diesel fuel according to field test - the new system will save almost 1 million gallons of water per well according to estimates, reducing travel by heavy diesel water trucks on the highways by as much as 150 loads per well. The initial test market in 2009 at the Haynesville Shale in Louisiana and East TX indicates that the Green Machine units are ready for full scale implementation.

 

Just a few of the highlights from the article - Hope it works as described!

This area has suffered immense environmental degradation…
