Fracking & Produced Water Treatment

Hydraulic fracturing generates two distinct wastewater streams: flowback water (fracturing fluid that returns to the surface within weeks of fracturing) and produced water (formation water that co-produces with oil and gas over the life of the well). Both streams present significant treatment challenges due to their extreme variability and high contaminant loads.

Typical Frac Water Contaminants

Fracking wastewater can contain aluminum, arsenic, barium, calcium, chlorides, chromium, copper, free oil, iron, lead, lithium, magnesium, manganese, mercury, nickel, phenol, potassium, radium, silica, silver, sodium, strontium, sulfate, TDS, TOC, TSS, uranium, VOCs, and zinc. Achieving potable water quality from this input can require 18 to 25 discrete treatment stages.

Disposal Context

Historically, fracking wastewater was disposed of via deep well injection. As many states have restricted or banned this practice due to induced seismicity concerns, on-site treatment and reuse has become the economically and environmentally preferred option. Our systems are designed for maximum water recovery and minimal waste residual volume.
