Treat shale gas produced water to improve water reuse quality or reduce volume for disposal.
Thermal Systems: reduce high salinity water volume to any desired brine concentration or make solids using our low-cost open-to-atmosphere evaporator, the SaltMaker AirBreather, with a built-in volatile organic compounds (VOCs) emissions management and solids production system.
Treatment Systems: treat waters to remove iron, TSS, and oils and grease. Chemically soften to reduce scaling potential and remove naturally occurring radioactive materials (NORMs) with our compact, automated chemical softening system, BrineRefine.
Membrane Systems: concentrate mid-salinity wastewaters up to 130,000 mg/L using our Xtreme RO system that recovers as much as two times the freshwater compared to conventional reverse osmosis systems.
AirBreather is a robust modular brine concentrator, reducing produced water volume while generating a 1.2 um heavy brine suited for disposal.
Thermally driven, self cleaning, designed for low cost repeat installation via truck trailer mounted skids.
Service model and rental options available for AirBreather shale installations.
BrineRefine is the most compact chemical treatment & suspended solids separation system to produce clean brine for re-use.
No use of bulky dissolved air flotation, nor coagulants and clarifiers. Instead, the intelligently automated system injects precise chemicals to oxidize iron on the fly and then separates oils, oils, and grease to produce a clean brine.
NORMs and scaling compounds can be removed by bolt-on optional chemical dosing systems.
