In 2004 the worlds largest flow through underwater contamination barrier was constructed through the US EPA

Superfund.

After extensive testing against all other forms of filtration media, due to its proven capabilities of loading a wide range

of organics, and its unique physical properties in water, Activated Clay® was selected, and installed.

The WET/ATHI flow-back system test

In late November thru early December 2009 WET/ATHI tested its mechanical/physical process to treat flowback generated

from drilling operations into the Marcellus formation. The well was located outside of Covington, PA.

Test Dates: November - December 2009

Well Location: Outside Covington, PA. on NY & PA Boarder

Ambient Temp: 40 F.

Water Temp: Ambient

The blind test instructions were to remove a range of metals, total suspended solids, and any organics that

may be present.

The Process

1. The WET/ATHI & Ionizer process begins with the circulation of the raw flow-back tank for enough time so as to circulate the contents. This first low pressure Ionization

step is to break any emulsion present, reduce TSS, and aide in the agglomeration of hydrocarbon particles from

the free and dissolved state.

2. The content of the tank is pumped through an oil water separator to assist in the separation of solids, water and

hydrocarbons if present.

3. The separated water is filtered through Activated Clay® to remove any organics.

The Process

4. The filtered water is circulated through the Ionizer in another tank at a higher pressure to separate and

segregate problematic dissolved state metals like Barium.

5. The resulting water is filtered with sand or micron filters depending on how low the producer wants TSS to be.

(no sand or micron filtration was performed on the test presented)

Test “A” conducted at low pressure (50psi) significantly reduced the contaminants, with specific mention to sulphates & organics

Sulphates in the presence of dissolved barium ions often cause scaling in wells. Removing one or both reduces the risk of scaling

Increasing pressure in the system (50 to 89 psi), significantly reduced barium levels in the effluent

Test “B” also continued to reduce the contamination of other metals compared to Test “A” including Iron

Test “C”Test “C”

A coagulant was added to the effluent of Test B to study the effects:

Barium was reduced further indicating the Ionizer’s ability to encourage dissolved barium ions to come out of solution

Tests A-C did not use a sand filter at the back end. This is a simple piece of kit which will significantly reduce the TSS count for the customer

With WET/ATHI partnering, Seamless service will be offered to the Producer through service companies they already do

business with.Instead of the Producer paying for hardware, they can contract for service by the barrel treated under a term

agreement.Provides the producer with the option to re-use or evaporate

on site.Solids are segregated by process and will be disposed of in

accordance with classification
