Title: Development of a cost effective environment compliance technology for stripper brine wells
Abstract: The specific objective of the research is to demonstrate that the characteristics of wastewater from stripper oil wells and marginal gas wells are sufficiently similar to be treated under a standardized treatment methodology, that the environmental impacts of the discharge of treated brines from both snipper oil and marginal gas wells can be adequately regulated, and that the inclusion of marginal gas wells in the same category as stripper oil wells is appropriate, especially for wells operating in the Appalachian Basin. During this reporting period, the catalytic effect studies were completed including the effect of copper on lead and zinc as well as the effects of lead and zinc as catalysts. The field studies were to be extended to investigate the system's effectiveness in removing organics as well as the other heavy metals. The major accomplishment during this quarter was establishing the system's effectiveness in removing organics from the field brines. The supporting data are presented in this report.
