TYRONE ENVIRONMENTAL GRP. Making Crystal Slurry and Dry Crystals: cleaning fracture water for Oil and Gas drilling
WHO WE ARE: • Tyrone Environmental is involved in recycling water, plastics and rubber. • We have teamed up with equipment suppliers of patented and proprietary systems to efficiently clean and recycle fracture water and salts in gas drilling.
BRINE WATER: CHOICES • You can choose whether you wish to remove and recycle as much water as possible, but before salt crystals form, which is called making saturated brine; or • You can choose to remove even more water such that the you make a slurry with salt crystals; or • You can choose to remove and recycle the maximum amount of water and dry the salt crystals
Level of De-Watering Recap: The amount of water you remove depends on what you wish to do with the water and contaminates in the water. Do you wish to create a… • Saturated Brine or • Crystal Slurry or • Dry Crystal
EQUIPMENT CONFIGURATION • Different equipment is required in the making of either a saturated brine, or a crystal slurry, or a dry crystal output • Our focus here is on crystal slurry, or a dry crystal output
Crystal Slurry: Important • Recovering brine crystals require the solution to be processed in a Forced Circulation Crystallizer. (see slide #8) • The Vapor Compression Cycle is integrated making an Ultra-Efficient Process. (see PowerPoint: “Making Saturated Brine” for details)
CRYSTAL SLURRY: Forced circulation • Vessel is designed for collecting and growing crystals. The solution containing both saturated brine and crystals is “force-circulated” downward through a “stand-pipe” where crystals have resident time to grow. • The co-mingled solution is force-circulated through a centrifugal separator where brine and crystals are separated
Forced Separation The Co-Mingled solution has two components having different mass: • Brine Liquid…lighter component circulates back to the vessel and • Brine Crystals…heavier component discharges the system as a Wet Slurry. As Slurry cools, more crystals form and separate from the remaining saturated liquid. This liquid can be sent back to the Distillation & Recovery system for more dewatering, if practical.
Dry Crystals • Depending on desired dryness, Slurry can be post-processed by conventional means and equipment.
WHAT WE OFFER:Making Crystals • Portable and Modular System • Automatic operation • Minimal labor and minimal maintenance • Cost effective operating System • Buy or Lease Options
HOW WE DO IT: Pre-treatment Pre-treatment PROCESS • Removes oil /grease, organics and iron • Removes trace organics and non-desired inorganic constituents RESULTS: • Effluent is clear and organic free • High purity brine stream
TECHNOLOGY: Pre-Treatment • Proprietary treated granular activated carbon
TECHNOLOGY: DISTILLATION Features and Advantages: • 1/2 penny a gallon or less in operating costs • Ultra efficient energy consumption • Closed loop system - water can be reused • Closed loop system - no air emissions • No membranes or no chemicals required • Concentrate often has a commercial value • Minimizes or eliminates sewer discharge • Output surpasses EPA / Municipal requirements • Fully automated, user friendly control panel • Production materials can be recovered / reused For more Details on this Technology see PowerPoint: “Making Saturated Brine”
TECHNOLOGY: CRYSTALS SEPARATION • a revolutionary and proprietary technology that efficiently separates large volumes of solids and liquids with different specific gravities • The Voraxial® Separator acts as an in-line, continuous flow separator that can conduct a two-way or three-way separation • Used to separate the salts from the slurry Voraxial 2000
RESULTS: FRACTURE WATER Clean water and salt
BENEFITS OF OUR SYSTEM: • It is mobile and can be operated in the field • You choose how much water you wish to remove, recycle, or dispose • It eliminates the need to dispose of large volume of brine contaminated waste • It provides resource recovery of brine combined with water recycling
BENEFITS OF OUR SYSTEM: Ecological Benefits • Recycling Clean Water and Brine prevents contaminating the ground, ground water, or local POTW. • Recovers valuable commodities that are otherwise contaminants.
RESULTS: VOLUME Example #1 “D&R = DISTILLATION & RECOVERY
RESULTS: ENERGY CONSUMPTION & COSTS Only 3¢ to make sellable salt Tyrone D&R System is engineered to be more efficient than most Evaporation Systems
MASS FLOW Example: 15% Brine in Feedstock100,000 GPD (833,000 PPD) Example #2
MASS FLOW Example: 15% Brine in Feedstock100,000 GPD (833,000 PPD)
MASS FLOW Example: 15% Brine in Feedstock100,000 GPD (833,000 PPD) COMMENTS: • At each stage, (saturated brine, crystal slurry, and dry crystals) successive amounts of water is removed. • 99% of the water is removed in the 15% Brine example (slide #26) • If there is a market for clear brine, the more clear brine you can sell, the more revenue you generate and perhaps you will choose to stop at making clear saturated brine • If there is no market for clear brine, you may wish to reduce your disposal costs by de-water to the maximum
FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS: Conclusion: With Crystal Slurry sales, the operator has new revenue of $3 - $4 Million. Under either scenario, there is either no, to minimum, deep well disposal.
FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS: • Crystal Slurry, with sale value, ROI: ± 1 year • Crystal Slurry, without sale value, Extends deep well life by a factor of 4 • $2 Million well cost plus $4 Million System cost = $6 Million • 500 bls vs. 2500 daily disposal translates into Extended well life by a factor of 4 • Dry Crystals, no deep well required, ROI: ± 27 years
