“We knew from early internal lab tests that CLEAN-FRAC has outstanding capabilities. Now those results have been verified in a demonstration-scale system by Lizard Analytical Laboratories, an independent laboratory located in Grand Junction, Colorado,” said Lee Portillo, VP of Engineering for OriginOil. “We are now scheduling multiple customer site trials and intend to continue to publish performance results and case studies from these test sites.”
According to the Lizard Analytical Laboratories test report (pdf), the technology removed 99.6% f turbidity, 0.3% total suspended solids and 90.5% of oil in water.
The system tested was OriginOil’s CLEAN-FRAC end-to-end system, which in this case included: the EWS module plus an iSep UltraFiltration (UF) membrane system from TriSep Corporation to provide downstream polishing.
