Flowback
Water Treatment
China
The need for a huge amount of water for hydraulic fracturing is well known but when the produced water from separators...
... mixes with the flowback water, the challenge is even bigger.
But .... why it should be bigger? Why the mixture it can not be reused for fracking?
This is exactly what the operation in China was all about - reusing both produced and flowback water for hydraulic fracking.
As always, it started with personnel training...
... and equipment installation.
The wastewater was transported to the location...
...and pilot tests and chemical analyses were performed.
Finding out the right amount of treatment chemicals is both an art and a science...
After treatment, crystal clear water...
was stored in an artificial lake being ready to be reused for further hydraulic well fracking.
