Oh yeah, most likely this work has nothing to do with any oil or gas production. They could be cleaning up fuel spilled from a milk truck terminal or a flower delivery company. Who knows?
Tiereta, I am not sure about this, since I can only see the truck and equipment, not what's it attached to, but here is one theory. I used to work at a company that done environmental remediation. We would use a truck like this to clean up fuel spills from ground water around gasoline stations. The vacuum truck would be used to remove the fuel from the surface of the ground water, the tanks on the trailer are, (I believe, again I'm kind of guessing), full of carbon to scrub the vapors from the vacuum pump emissions. You can see the hose running from the exhaust from the pump to the containers. A vacuum truck works like a big shop vac. It move air out of the tank, which allows the material to be sucked in. Only this exhausted air goes through the scrubber tanks, not the material.
I have always thought it was kind of funny that some of the uproar about fracking is the groundwater contamination potential. Most every gas station, especially the older ones, has fuel on top of the groundwater on site. Several old dry cleaner facilities have some pretty wicked stuff floating around under them, and lots of old factories have the same.
what is that thing used for?

AboutAs exciting as this is, we know that we have a responsibility to do this thing correctly. After all, we want the farm to remain a place where the family can gather for another 80 years and beyond. This site was born out of these desires. Before we started this site, googling "shale' brought up little information. Certainly nothing that was useful as we negotiated a lease. Read More |
