### Bosque’s 

### DIONIXTM System Bosque’s DIONIXTM system produces high purity chlorine dioxide through the controlled reaction of sodium chlorite, hydrochloric acid, and potable water. Chlorine dioxide is used in many industrial water treatment applications as a biocide. It is less corrosive than chlorine and superior for the control of legionella bacteria. One of the primary benefits of using chlorine dioxide is that it reacts less with organic matter present in the water, thus minimizing the formation of trihalomethanes. DIONIX’sTM two precursor system is the safest way to generate chlorine dioxide on-site. 

### Why Water Treatment? Water is an essential component for oil and natural gas production during both the drilling and hydraulic fracturing processes. Most of this water comes from surface water sources such as area lakes, ponds, rivers, and municipal supplies. Historically, the water used in drilling and hydraulic fracturing has been a one-time use. Water recycling (produced and flowback) became an important topic because of the increase in oil and gas production in North America, coupled with fresh water shortages. With recent droughts over the previous 5 years, oil and natural gas operators have been seeking alternative sources of water to be used in aiding their production to minimize their ecological impacts.



### Bacteria Related Problems Hydrogen Sulfide Related Problems

• Aerobes: bacteria that “breathe” O 2 are a common corrosion-causing factor

resulting in biogenic sulfide corrosion.

• APB: Acid Producing Bacteria “breathe” O 2 , other inorganic molecules, and

carbon. It produces organic acids by fermentation.

• SRB: Sulfate Reducing Bacteria utilizes organic acids (rather than oxygen)

to reduce sulfate to sulfide (i.e. H 2 S). This causes corrosion, souring, and iron sulfide formation Hydrogen sulfide, or H 2 S, is an ever-increasing problem for natural gas and oil producers and their workers. H 2 S is water soluble – H 2 S will mix into a solution with water, and will be carried to the surface in produced water and drilling mud. Because of its characteristics, H 2 S is a very toxic contaminant that can harm workers and prevent full performance of wells.



### Benefits Bosque’s DIONIXTM system produces high purity chlorine dioxide. Benefits include:

• EPA approved biocide for bacteria treatment in water

• Effective, fast-reacting biocide that is environmentally friendly and has a longer residual than traditional bleach based biocides

• DIONIXTM's process is the safest way of generating chlorine dioxide on site, with numerous safety shutdown components and procedures

• Two precursor chemical design utilizes less harmful chemicals and is more cost-effective than traditional solutions and other chlorine

dioxide systems

• Convenient and mobile 30' DIONIXTM trailer allows for small footprint on pad site. The DIONIXTM system is also available as a stationary

unit for treating Saltwater Disposal Facilities and reserve pits.

These elements react in a “column” under a strong vacuum created by water flowing through an educator. The chlorine dioxide formed within the column is subsequently combined with the flowing water stream, where it becomes a dissolved gas in the water at a safe working concentration level according to the demand tests for each operator. Chlorine dioxide is an extremely effective biocide, yet safe to handle and apply as either a liquid treatment agent or gas.



### Bosque’s DIONIX System Specifications

• Capabilities: Up to 500 bpm flow rate (when the 2 generators are

used simultaneously)

• Control: Touch screen control panels and automatic monitoring

both before and after treatment of ClO 2 levels in water. The system is able to run in full auto or manual modes

• Power: Mobile unit powered by diesel generator

• Programmable Logic Controller: Multiple system monitors and

automatic shut-down safety features throughout process

• Redundancy: The system has two (2) chlorine dioxide generators

for redundancy and maximum generation of chlorine dioxide
