Today residents and organizations from throughout the Delaware River Watershed and beyond are celebrating and vowing enthusiastic support for the proposed ban on high volume hydraulic fracturing throughout the Delaware River Watershed in all “hydrocarbon bearing rock formations”.
Drilling companies injected at least one hydraulic fracturing (“fracking”) chemical with an identity kept hidden from the public into more than 2,500 unconventional natural gas wells drilled in Pennsylvania between 2013 and 2017, amounting to 55 percent of the more than 4,500 unconventional gas wells drilled in the state during the five-year period, according to a new report from Partnership for Policy Integrity (PFPI).
Engineers and laboratory technicians responsible for maintaining alkaline and pH levels in balance to support a wide range of municipal and industrial water-based processes will find the new IoT web-enabled CA900 Titration Analyzer from Electro-Chemical Devices (ECD) automates the process of routine alkalinity measurement with a simple, accurate and cost-effective approach.
As hydraulic fracturing activity ramps up in colder locations across the United States to meet growing energy demand, harsher temperatures and environmental conditions remain a challenge.
Northern Alberta Institute of Technology (NAIT) is receiving almost $600,000 from Western Economic Diversification Canada and $200,000 from Canada’s Oil Sands Innovation Alliance (COSIA) to design and construct a high temperature, high pressure testing unit that Western Canadian companies will use to implement water technologies in oil sands.
In the august presence of Mr. Nitin Gadkari, Union Minister of Water Resources, River Development & Ganga Rejuvenation and Road Transport, Highways & Shipping, Mr. Dharmendra Pradhan, Union Minister of Petroleum & Natural Gas and Skill Development & Entrepreneurship, Mr. Sanjiv Singh, Chairman, Mr. B V Rama Gopal, Director (Refineries), and Dr. SSV Ram Kumar, Director (R&D), an agreement was signed for the reuse of treated waste water for Mathura Refinery on June 13, 2018 at New Delhi.
Abengoa, the international company that applies innovative technology solutions for sustainable development in the infrastructure, energy and water sectors, has received the Provisional Acceptance Certificate for the expansion of the water treatment plant, built in the 450 MW Norte Durango combined cycle plant that Naturgy (formerly known as Gas Natural Fenosa) has in the State of Durango, Mexico.
Neste is rebuilding the wastewater treatment plant at its refinery in Porvoo, Finland. The project involves renewing the chemical and biological treatment systems of the wastewater plant, and the entire project is scheduled for completion in 2020. The changes will improve the efficiency of wastewater treatment and ensure the processing capacity.
At the least, wastewater from oil and gas drilling should be treated in a waste treatment facility before it is used on dirt roads to suppress dust or deice roads.
WildHorse Resource Development Corporation announced recently plans to construct a wholly-owned in-field oil and produced water gathering system.
