An independent lab confirmed that the EcosFrac technology killed the bacteria and passed the seven day test for sulfur minimizing bacteria at company’s stated flow rate. EcosFrac is a non-chemical electro-ozonation process incorporated into a 500 barrel frac tank that kills bacteria in frac water at 10 barrels per minute. The EcosFrac process is part of company’s Total Frac Water Management service that is utilized before the frac that kills bacteria in the frac water to abolish scale and corrosion downhole.
Dennis McGuire, president of Ecosphere Energy Services division, said, “In addition to treating flowback and produced waters we are now able to offer the energy companies we serve a non-chemical process to kill bacteria in the water they use to frac their wells. Reducing the chemicals used in fracturing a well allows energy companies to reduce their overall completion costs while reducing their environmental footprint. It’s a win-win.”
