Treatment Options for Developers
Marcellus Shale developers are analyzing different disposal and treatment to determine the most cost effective and efficient way to handle frac flowback and meet Pennsylvania’s total dissolved solids regulations. A study conducted by L.R. Kimball wastewater experts revealed a number of options including hauling, underground injection, on-site treatment, off-site treatment, pumping to a nearby centralized treatment facility, and dilution and reuse at the well. To read more about the pros and cons of each option download our white paper, "Marcellus Shale Frac Flowback Fluid Disposal Options."
