Company Updates Bakken Water Treatment Project

Los Angeles-based Sionix Corporation has announced the completion the initial phase of commercial testing of its proprietary water treating technology in the Williston Basin of North Dakota. The processing facility, located in Dickinson, has successfully treated production water from fracking operations in the Bakken formation. The project's proprietary treatment process employed chemical pre-treatment, clarification, filtration and the patented Sionix Dissolved Air Flotation system. The company claims the project has demonstrated significant reductions in total suspended solids, total oils and greases, metals, oxygen demand and turbidity.

Sionix engaged Clear Water Services to participate in the testing program to verify and provide independent, third party quantitative results. Clear Water established a sampling protocol and chain-of-custody procedures for samples that are currently being analyzed by a different and independent third party laboratory in North Dakota.

Sionix designs advanced water treatment systems intended for use in energy, government facilities, healthcare facilities, and emergency water supplies during natural disasters, housing development projects, and various industrial processes including subterranean fracturing used in oil and gas drilling. These systems can be located adjacent to contaminated water sites or as a pre-treatment for reverse osmosis and other membrane applications. Industries involved in dairy, agribusiness, meat processing, mining, poultry operations, and many others can benefit from Sionix' cost-effective, easily maintained, portable water treatment systems.

Hi, I'd like to say a little bit. The anticipated risk-based approach to decision making will help improve the way risk is considered in permitting regulations for on-site wastewater treatment systems. Such regulations implicitly include risk, vary among state and local jurisdictions, and have been established through experience with standard on-site systems in typical soil conditions. However, the estimation of explicitly defined risks associated with these rules has not been accomplished. A major impediment is the lack of a comprehensive and consistent approach to defining the potential risks. On-going efforts at risk-based decision making are an excellent step forward, but they lack a standardized method for integrating disparate risks into a comprehensive risk-based approach that can be applied at various sites and geographical scales. Other limitations generally include a lack of explicit, risk-based endpoints and a failure to address multiple types of risks. The proposed risk-based approach will integrate the available methods and models. It will also serve as a detailed road map for future research and development efforts in the field of on-site wastewater treatment.
