High Efficiency Softening Process (HESP) for Frack Flowback - produced water treatment study for City of Grand Prairie, TX
Barnett Shale play in Texas, the natural gas economy
- According to Potter, the 5,500 wells currently pumping gas in the Barnett Shale play will ultimately generate on the order of $35 billion for their owners. As those companies pay taxes and wages, and as their employees and contractors in turn spend their money, there is an economic ripple effect, creating an overall value of about $100 billion to the Texas economy.

- Approximately 20% of this water can return to surface as flowback water.
- “Produced water” carries much higher level of oil, grease, organics and salinity.
