According to Lisa Sorgini, Oasys? vice president of strategy and market development, Oasysarranged to have 20 tankers deliver produced water to its research center in Somerset,Massachusetts. We found it was easier to run the extended tests at our own facility. So we hadproduced water from a centralized treatment site in the Marcellus Shale delivered to us. After thetesting, the water was sent back to the site for disposal, she said. Initially, the 170 bbl/d MBC pilot unit was operated on an on/off basis to simulate theintermittent operation that can be common in some production sites. After 100 days of testing,Oasys determined that the process was stable, and switched to continuous, five-day test runs. system in a shale gas frac?ing application.
