How To Ensure Accurate Reporting Data For Deep Well Injection

Deep well injection is used to dispose of this wastewater safely, away from humans and out of the ecosystem. While stored in the well, natural processes will break down the contaminants over time while keeping it isolated from aquifers. Unlike surface disposal methods that require large land areas, deep well injection utilizes vertical space, making it suitable for areas with limited land availability.

While it has many advantages, deep well injection is heavily regulated. States and tribal authorities set the majority of standards that these sites, and the entities using them, must adhere to. Among them are rigorous permitting and reporting requirements. The heavy reporting requirements and complex permitting process means WWTPs, desalination plants, and industrial businesses must carefully and accurately measure all fluids discharged into the well.

For that reason, the choice of meter used for deep well injection can make a big difference. For decades, differential pressure (DP) meters were the industry standard. However, many facilities are coming to realize the value of using electromagnetic flowmeters (mag meters). Mag meters offer more accurate and consistent measurement of fluids with less maintenance.
