Pennsylvania’s energy history is rich with the quantities of fossil fuels that it has produced, but is also rife with the environmental legacies of coal mining and, more recently, hydrofracturing.
MGX Minerals Inc. (“MGX” or the “Company”) (CSE:XMG) (FKT:1MG) (OTCQB:MGXMF) is pleased to report that the Company’s majority owned engineering partner PurLucid Treatment Solutions Inc. (“PurLucid”) is nearing completion of its second commercial-scale contract for deployment of MGX-PurLucid water treatment and lithium extraction systems at petrolithium sites in Alberta.
Hydraulic fracturing or “fracking” wells used to procure natural gas produce large amounts of wastewater, which may contain toxic and radioactive compounds. The wastewater per well, ranging from 2 million to14 million liters, is most commonly injected underground where it has the potential to contaminate water supplies used by people and animals.
Hurricane Harvey was an unprecedented rain event that delivered five consistent days of flooding and storms to Texas last August. Now, research from UTSA Assistant Professor Vikram Kapoor in civil and environmental engineering has substantiated that the storm caused high levels of fecal contamination to be introduced into waterways draining into the Gulf of Mexico and impairing surface water quality.
H2Oil & Gas, an Aquarion Group company, has completed a contract to design and supply equipment for a produced water treatment plant in Malaysia.
MGX Minerals Inc. (“MGX” or the “Company”) (CSE:XMG) (FKT:1MG) (OTCQB:MGXMF) is pleased to report the adsorbtion rate for the Company’s lithium extraction nanofiltration process (the “System”) has been increased from 20mg/g, milligram of lithium per gram of adsorbtion reagent, to an optimized 40mg/g Li/reagent.
Resirkulere USA, Inc., a total water management solutions provider offering real-time mobile water recycling and hydrocarbon separation for drill-outs and clean-outs, has announced its intention to add the Water Lens LLC, accurate and consistent on-site water chemistry testing systems, test kits to its toolbox of capabilities with first deployments in North Dakota's Bakken area scheduled for the first quarter of 2019.
Oil and water tend to separate, but they mix well enough to form stable oil-in-water emulsions in produced water from oil reservoirs to become a problem. Rice University scientists have developed a nanoparticle-based solution that reliably removes more than 99 percent of the emulsified oil that remains after other processing is done.
The depth of the rock layer that serves as the disposal site for wastewater produced during unconventional oil extraction plays a significant role in whether that disposal triggers earthquakes in the U.S., according to a new study that takes a broad look at the issue.
H2O Midstream today announced the execution of a long-term water services agreement with a subsidiary of Legacy Reserves Inc.
