Fracture Water Remediation

From Iwaki America and Walchem, IWAKI America Inc

Hydraulic fracturing, or fracing, is used to initiate production in lowpermeability
reservoirs and re-stimulate production in older producing wells. In
hydraulic fracing, a fluid is injected into a well at pressures so intense that
the structure 'cracks', or fractures. The fluid, mostly water with additives, is
injected at extreme pressures that cause a fracture in the formation that allows
gas to seep out hopefully into a well casing. Fracing is used both to open up
fractures already present in the formation and create new fractures

Level Controllers
Level controllers monitor, regulate, and control liquid or solid levels in a process.
Environmental Controllers
Environmental controllers control environmental factors such as temperature, humidity, and air pressure. The environment to control can be an office or workspace, or inside a chamber for testing or process purposes.
Laboratory Controllers
Laboratory controllers are designed specifically to monitor and/or control variables involved in laboratory or scientific experimentation, testing, or sample preparation. They are often used to control temperature, but may also control other variables.
pH Controllers
pH and ORP controllers monitor and can control the pH (acidity or alkalinity) and/or the ORP (oxidation reduction potential) of liquids involved in a testing or process application.
