Pretreatment and Water Management for Frac Water Reuse and Salt Production (08122-36)

GE Global Research - Principal Investigator:  James Silva

Objective:  The overall objective is to develop a process to treat frac flowback water that reduces the overall cost to produce natural gas from nonconventional sources such as gas shale. The proposed program aims to accomplish this objective by developing a wastewater pretreatment process that removes undesirable salts and metals in order to produce both reusable water and a salable salt product that meets road salt specifications.
