Shale gas extraction produces large volumes of wastewater from hydraulic fracturing process in addition to produced water from the formation itself. This wastewater can contain high concentrations of dissolved solids, NORMs and other potential pollutants.
The DPS HydroLoc centrifuge enables the effective and efficient 5 phase treatment of these problematic waters.
Successful trials in the US on flow back water have enabled a range of units to be developed.
