Pre-filter, settle, precipitate, de-water the sludge, and clorinate. They will likely cheat on their results for the organics, because testing for these compounds costs too much. Maybe they will run it through a heater to evaporate into thin air, the worst chemicals. Prepare for the worst, is all I can say. Sell your stock in natural gas. Please Login to view this Content.

Companies need millions of gallons to drill. Throw in the word radioactivity to make neck hairs rise as a caution, but please include the amount of naturally occuring radioactivity the public is exposed to daily. They may not believe you though. Please Login to view this Content. (Not a member? Join Today!)

If they process 400,000 gallons/day @ 140,000 mg/L TDS, they will have to dispose of over 230 tons per day of solids. If the TDS is 40,000 mg/L, they will have over 60 tons of solids per day. The energy costs of evaporation are extremely high. What type of fuel are they going to run this unit on? Please Login to view this Content. (Not a member? Join Today!)
