Water and Wastewater Solutions For The Oil and Gas Industry

51. The Future Of Fracking: Evaluating Emerging Technologies 2/10/2015

    How can the U.S. and other countries profit from hydraulic fracturing AND protect water resources? New technologies hold the key to environmentally responsible shale-gas production.

52. New Hampshire Puts $350 Million To Work From A Successful Lawsuit Over MTBE Contamination 1/25/2022

    From cleaner water to infrastructure upgrades, good stories are easy to find after the state of New Hampshire set out to hold polluters accountable for contaminating groundwater with methyl tertiary-butyl ether (MTBE), a gasoline additive now banned or limited in several states. Through private well testing, watershed protection and new water facilities, the people of the Granite State are turning the tide on water contamination and restoring the safety and reliability of their drinking water supplies thanks to bold action to make sure polluters pay for damage.

53. Onshore Crude Oil Decontamination Using A Water Security Test Bed 11/6/2018

    Onshore crude oil production has increased in the United States over the past few years. Oil producers, specifically the North Dakota Pipeline Authority and the Bakken Shale field producers are transporting crude oil by rail and train to both the East and West Coast oil refineries. While rail tends to be one of the safer and more efficient ways of transporting crude oil, there is still a risk of a spill. Oil spills are threats to both ground and surface waters, which can ultimately impact drinking water.

54. Sun-Powered Nanogrid Cleans Fracking Wastewater 11/19/2013

    A high-tech “net” and the power of the sun are all that is needed to remove contaminants from water produced by fracking operations, oil spills, textile manufacturing, and other sources.

55. Resource Revolution: The Energy/Water Nexus In Unconventional Oil & Gas - Highlights 4/29/2015

    GE partnered with the Wharton School's Initiative for Global Environmental Leadership (IGEL) for an industry leaders' discussion about the energy/water nexus in unconventional oil & gas production.

56. Refinery Treats Groundwater Contamination While Saving Precious Facility Space 3/20/2020

    A large, Midwestern oil refinery installed two identical, 110’ diameter S&L Model R OXIGEST® treatment systems to solve a groundwater treatment problem on-site. Each plant incorporates aeration, clarification, and effluent holding, treating peak flows of 7.2 MGD combined; 4.3 MGD in each plant.

57. Sun-Activated LilyPads Remove Contaminants Without Chemicals 10/24/2014

    Puralytics LilyPads are hardly noticeable in the ponds, lakes, and catchment areas where they are deployed. Made of mesh and plastic, the flat, 1-meter diameter disks could even be confused for their plant namesake if not for their white color.

58. How Natural Light Can Separate Oil From Wastewater 6/8/2017

    Researchers at MIT have developed a system that uses visible light to treat produced water, a potential economic and environmental savior for the oil and gas industry.

59. What To Watch As The Texas Legislature Takes Up Climate, Energy, Water, And More 4/23/2019

    We’re past the midpoint of the Texas legislative session and the bill filing deadline is behind us. Because the legislature only meets for five months every other year, there’s a lot to accomplish in a short span.

60. Real-Time Water Quality Data For Industrial Operations 9/28/2020

    We arm plant operators with actionable data necessary to make informed decisions about water management in industrial facilities.
