  • REMEDIATION AND RECYCLING OF FRAC WATER AND FLOW BACK WATER
    Publication number: 20190144315
    Abstract: A method and device for treating contaminated water where the device is portable. The method includes the steps of moving contaminated water into a first tank to settle out large solids such as cuttings and metallic particles while adding a pH modifier, a coagulant, and gaseous ozone. Moving the contaminated water into a second tank where the pre-treated water is subjected to an electro-coalescing process that subjects the water to a strong DC current as the water passes between several bi-metallic plates. After the electro-coalescing process the water may be filtered to remove the remaining solids resulting from the pre-treatment and the electro-coalescing process or the solids may be allowed to settle. The resulting water may then be re-used in the fracturing or drilling processes.

  • Treating coal and other piled materials to inhibit freeze-binding
    Patent number: 6569348
    Abstract: Coal and other piles of particulates exposed to the weather are inhibited from freezing by treating them with potassium formate. A viscosifier is used to retain the solution in the interstices and voids between the particulates, inhibiting drainage and waste of the solution. Corrosion inhibitors are also compatible with the solution.

  • Deicing
    Publication number: 20030034478
    Abstract: Alkanolamine formates are used as deicers, preferably accompanied by potassium formate. Preferred is triethanolamine formate, but the amine portion may be mono-, di- or triethanolamine or may be other, further alkoxylated amines. Tht compositions and methods are suggested for aircraft deicing.
