Produced Water Treatment For Recycle 22 nd IPEC – Denver, CO Dan Mueller, P.E.

Who is EDF? Beginnings in the 1960s with the DDT issue Recognized that science was the answer to arguing the point Now an organization of 500+ –US, Europe, Asia. Mexico, South America Sound science to inform sound policy Work on the State level as well as the Federal level

Realities of Water Management Water use can be significant Supplying water using alternate water sources increasing Surface operations critical to managing environmental risks Environmental risks with all facets –Storage –Transportation –Treatment –Disposal

Managing Produced Water 21 billion bbls (900 billion gallons) of produced water generated each year What to do with this water? –Disposal wells –Reuse for subsequent fracturing operations –Treat for other purposes Discharge Beneficial Use (i.e. Irrigation) Other?

What are the Issues? Storage –Longer term and greater volumes Transportation –Not fresh water; transportation operation critical to managing risks Treatment –Generation of novel waste streams Disposal –Solids and fluids requiring disposal

Constituents of Concern in Produced Water Produced water a combination of flowback and formation water Fracturing chemicals return with the flowback Formation water contain more than just total dissolved solids –Studies show 60 priority pollutants identified in produced water Transformational products –High heat + high pressure = chemical reactions

NPDES Permitting Indirect vs direct discharge Direct discharge (following treatment) East/west of the 98 th meridian makes a difference from a NPDES permitting perspective Indirect discharge Publically Owned Treatment Works (POTWs) Not well suited for high TDS and/or other consituents Centralized wastewater treatment facilities (CWTs)

Concerns Related to Treatment/Discharge What is in the produced water? –1,000+ chemicals listed in FracFocus –Limited number of analytical methods Not going to find what you are not looking for Matrix Interferences –Toxicity Design of treatment systems Monitoring of treated effluent

EPA Activities Related to Treatment for Discharge Pretreatment standards for the shale gas extraction industry for discharge to POTWs Proposed standards late 2014 Indirect discharge to POTWs not allowed Final 2012 and Preliminary Effluent Guidelines Program Plans Includes study of CWTs accepting oil and gas extraction wastewater

Treatment Technologies Combination of treatment technologies required Pretreatment Settling Separation Filtration More robust treatment to meet discharge requirements Membrane system Thermal Slide 10

Examples of Advancements in Treatment Technology Biological treatment in high salinity environments Current studies show promise in waters of 100,000 mg/l TDS Addresses organics – still have to address inorganics Organics can cause fouling of membrane systems So could enhance efficiencies of downstream treatment systems Slide 11

Waste Streams Generated by Treatment Solids waste stream generated as part of any treatment process Waste streams comprised of concentrated constituents removed by treatment Treatment technologies are continually advancing potentially affecting waste stream characteristics

Disposal Regardless of level of produced water reuse, there will always be a waste stream to manage Solids waste stream generated as part of any treatment process Treatment technologies are continually advancing potentially affecting waste stream characteristics RCRA –Subtitle C exemption –Subtitle D NOI recently filed
