Abstract: A method and apparatus for water remediation in general and particularly, for killing bacteria, algae and other microorganisms in water used to fracture-stimulate oil and gas wells and using a coagulant and/or a flocculant for removing the dead microorganisms. A biocide is first introduced into a pit or tank containing the water to be treated and after the microorganisms are dead, the flocculent is added to the biocide-treated water to remove the dead microorganisms. Sequential introduction of the biocide and flocculant into the water to be treated may be accomplished by a number of techniques and after each biocide application the water is tested to determine the remaining living microorganism concentration. The clarity of the treated water is then determined after removal of the dead microorganisms from the water using the flocculant.
