The fracking boom has led to growth in the wastewater industry. Fracking (hydraulic fracturing) injects water into wells for oil and gas waste. There are many fields of oil and gas deposits across the U.S. Millions of gallons of water are pumped into deep shale formations to crack the rock. As a result, huge amounts of waste water are produced. Some of the water is reused while the rest must be removed. Scientists say wastewater from fracking is very salty and holds large amounts of heavy metals. Additionally, the water has some radioactive particles.
Wastewater Kansas is a company that transports drilling waste. ORI Environmental has been in the environmental service industry for years. Some of the water is disposed of in states that allow different types of drilling. Ohio is one of those states and many states now transport their dirty water to the Buckeye State. Ohio allows drilling class-two wells for oil and gas wastewater. This is similar to traditional fracking but the process is a bit different. Engineers drill all the way down into sandstone and stop in that layer. Companies do not drill into precambrian rock because it can trigger earthquakes. The maximum injection pressure for shooting water into the well depends on how deep the well is and other factors. However, some pumps can produce 35 hundred pounds of pressure per square inch.

Environmentalists are concerned abut this drilling. There is fear that the local groundwater will be contaminated. One environmentalist questions where millions of gallons of toxic and radioactive waste underground will eventually end up. Some fears have been realized after a few individuals were caught dumping wastewater into a local river. That is why it is important to have a reliable company that transports and disposes of Wastewater Kansas in the proper way. The fracking industry is not the only business that produces wastewater. For instance, many municipalities need to get help for transporting storm sewer overflow. ORI environmental also transports used oil and solid waste. It is very important that all hazardous materials be excavated, transported and disposed of according to government guidelines. Contact ORI Environmental for more details.
