The IHS Goal:
"Drinking Water Standards
- BETTER, CLEANER, CHEAPER"
Oil/Gas Field Services Overview
Waste Water Treatment
For decades the process for turning wastewater into drinking water has been
available. However, there has been little will to use that process because it
has simply not been cost effective.
IHS designs processes that bring together both
wastewater and drinking water treatment technologies to make those processes
BETTER, CLEANER, AND CHEAPER, while allowing a rapid return
on investment. IHS makes all of its treatment units mobile and designs them
in a way that meets the requirements in all 50 states. No one else in the
marketplace is doing what IHS is doing.
Flowback Water Recycle
It takes millions of gallons of water for the
fracking of each new oil well. Hydraulic fracking starts with water that is
fresh. Salt is then added to create the brine needed for the fracking
process.
IHS mobile on-site units are custom tailored for the requirements of specific sites.The IHS on-site unit simply removes the salt,
earth metals, bacteria, and other pathogens, effectively restoring the frac
water to its original fresh state. The end result is a BETTER,
CLEANER, AND CHEAPER product that eliminates many of the scaling problems associated with
the current brine and gives a rapid return on investment. In many cases, IHS
also obtains saleable byproducts from this process, creating additional
revenue opportunities. This IHS recycled water can be reused from site to
site. And because the IHS unit is on site, there is a tremendous reduction in
trucking traffic as there is no longer a need to haul the contaminated frac
water away for disposal.
Service/Produce Water
Once the fracking process has been completed and
the well is in daily operation, both oil and water come up from the well.
The oil is separated to the greatest extent possible and the water that
remains is highly contaminated and is known as service or produce water.
IHS mobile units are designed to stay on site, cleaning produce/service water for the entire life of the producing well.IHS takes a unique approach to recycling this
water. IHS has developed a new process that first removes the remaining oil
and then eliminates fast growing, highly contaminated bacteria. IHS next
removes the earth metals and any hydrocarbons. Like hydro mining, this
separation process creates new byproducts (earth metals and chemical elements)
that can be taken to market for additional revenue opportunities.
IHS completes the process creating particle
separation at multiple levels by utilizing a filtration method that employs
a proprietary non-physical membrane. This process takes any remaining
particles down to 0.2 microns. No one else has the technology to do this!
We leave only clean water that meets drinking water standards.
This water can then be direct discharged on the ground, recycled for
drilling reuse or released into an aquifer recharge gallery or well.
Water Treatment
IHS utilizes cutting edge water treatment
technologies; so regardless of the circumstances, we can come up with
solutions that are BETTER, CLEANER, AND CHEAPER than what
is typical in the marketplace today.
IHS provides on-site service on all of its mobile units.IHS systems can be applied to existing municipal
or private supplies to increase the ability to treat and to create
drinking-water-standard recycled water.
Hydro Mining
Hydro mining is a separation process that removes
unwanted elements from bodies of water. IHS removes these elements, bringing
the water back to drinking standard quality.
Oil Remediation
IHS remediation of hydrocarbons and spilled
hydrocarbons is simple, when using our patented remediation formula. IHS'
advanced techniques will tackle surface hydrocarbons and hydrocarbons down
to 12 inches below the surface. Using the IHS recipe of proper aeration
and remediating bacteria, IHS can remediate most oil spills or other
unwanted hydrocarbon compounds in 36 to 72 hours.
By utilizing these IHS technologies, oil and natural gas producing states can effectively:
- Protect their freshwater resources
- Vastly reduce trucking traffic, eliminating many traffic concerns and
infrastructure decay
- Address concerns of the EPA (including earthquakes)
- Continue to grow their economies and create jobs
- Reduce dependence on foreign oil
