Hydraulic fracturing solutions

With the public’s health and best interest in mind, GE’s innovations combat the effect unconventional gas mining and the hydraulic fracturing or “fraccing” (“fracking”) process can have on water quality and availability in surrounding areas. Research and progress is underway to initiate a means of treating and reusing water for industrial and municipal purposes, eliminating the need to dispose of it in evaporation ponds, remove it from the facility on trucks, or risk having it seep into neighboring streams and water sources. We’re also developing methods that enable the management and optimization of water resources inside and outside the field, and help natural gas drilling facilities convert wastewater into beneficial byproducts.
