A typical drill site returns 1.3 million gallons of contaminated flowback in the first 2 weeks. Normally, all 1.3 million gallons would have to be transported off-site to a wastewater treatment plant where it would be diluted for discharge into the environment. (Chart 1) |

The process allows 1 million gallons to remain on-site as distilled water for re-use, eliminating about 200 incoming truck loads of fresh water for fraccing. (Chart 2) |

FracPure creates 300,000 gallons of highly concentrated salt brine which reduces disposal costs by 80% or 200 truckloads, which are safely transported off-site for crystallization. (Chart 3) |
