In all industries that produce wastewater—including chemical, refining, pharmaceutical, and food—strict EPA regulations mandate that water interacting with the environment be clean and safe. The fracking industry is no exception. Even though fracking water is often reused or recycled, compliance remains critical to ensure the water returned to the environment meets local standards.
Fracking water, heavily contaminated with well materials and chemicals, must be filtered and pH balanced to either re-enter the fracking process or return safely to the water table. This is where Tank Liquid Agitators (TLA’s) play a pivotal role, dramatically improving both the effectiveness and efficiency of water processing.
A fracking wastewater treatment facility serves as a prime example of eductor impact. After installing in-line eductors and tank liquid agitators (TLA’s), the facility scaled its daily processing capacity from just 1–2 trucks of wastewater to an impressive 8–10 trucks per day. This improvement is backed by Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) analysis, which verified optimal velocity in the tank and demonstrated the effectiveness of these eductors.
WHY Eductor Technology?
Maintenance-Free Performance: Unlike mechanical mixers, eductors have no moving parts, minimizing downtime and operational costs.
Unmatched Versatility: TLA’s can be positioned in tanks of any shape or size, ensuring maximum adaptability to facility needs.
Sustainability at Scale: By improving plant mixing and blending efficiency, in-line eductors and TLA’s reduce the plant's overall water footprint—addressing critical environmental concerns in the industry.
