Dear State and Federal Environmental Authorities, please oversee this new pilot and test the air near 5601 East First St, 76103 to prove that this new process is not emitt ing toxins into our air in this high metropolitian area, thanks. Feedback or corrections to my understanding of the process is appreciated. Also we need canister tests on compressor stations in general to look for high formalehyde readings as

was reported in the Titan air study recetly at the Quicksilver compression station in Arlington TX.

Dear Oil and Gas Associations, FYI on this also any feedback or corrections needed to my understanding of the process of safely vaporizing produced water is requested.

As part of this assessment, disposal and recycling operations will be examined. The Brentwood site is currently the only operational saltwater disposal and recycling site within the City of Fort Worth. By extending the moratorium, operations will be allowed to continue so that appropriate data can be collected to determine the impacts from this site and a fact based decision may be made as to whether the moratorium should be lifted or a complete disposal ban should be enacted within the City limits of Fort Worth;..."

The recycling of produced water will be a pilot program for Ft Worth using the EVRAS (by Intervas) system at the Brentwood compressor station. I heard that site will begin receiving produced water from

30 different gas well sites for " safe" vaporization. The remaining, crystallized solid waste will then be trucked to an injection site.

Please go to flow chart and see that the "Humid Air Outlet" does not have a filter or a vapor recovery system. In calling the inventor of the process, Jeff Harris (who lived in Granbury at one time, and has experience with this system in California), explained that the Barnett shale VOC averages 30 ppm and has no barium. This is low in comparison to the Marcellus Shale (which is full of barium) and averages 500ppm of VOC's. So we are at an advantage starting with low voc's. I do not kn ow if the ppm being quoted includes the fracing fluid flow back chemical vapors.

In taking notes while talking to Mr Harris, the EVRAS system solidifies cold, produced water when it is warmed up by the introduction of an unmixable "heat transfer liquid" ( HTL). The HTL is warmed by the
wasted heat from the existing compressor station at the Brentwood site in Ft Worth. The cold, produced water keeps getting recycled from cold to hot to cold until it crystallizes.

The air flow directs the aromatic/pollution/ condensate through a thermal reactor air stripper which scrubs the hydrocarbons when it passes through an air column. The extracted VOC's are then blended
with the combustion air at a ratio of 100 parts of air to 1part of hydrocarbon condensate. This redu ces our original 30ppm down to .03 ppm. This .03ppm is then burned off in the compressor engines that
have more efficient catalytic converters than our cars. The crank case captures exhausts like a carburetor functions. The Nox and Co is burned up in the catalytic engines. The 99.9% clean is better for
the environment than the 100lb of Nox and 32 tons of carbons per year due to onroad trucking emissions in delivering produced fluids to an injection site.

Ideally, piping the produced water from drill site s to the EVRAS systems would further decrease onroad trucking emissions in bringing the fluid to the evaporation site.I'm a little squirrelly when it comes to pipelines carrying toxic water and having any kind of ground

water leak, but trucks carrying wa ste water are risky and those trucks aren't even labeled as toxic,
hazardous material. The amount of matter going into injection sites would greatly be reduced to the crystallized sludge.

We could use some good news of natural gas extraction having a proc ess improvement that others could follow if this is truely more environmental friendly.

I sent Mr Harris a copy of this email so that he can correct any mis interpretations of his verbal explanation to me over the phone...so more than likely I may have some corrections to this explanation
of how the EVRAS is "safely" evaporating produced water for 30 pad sites here within city limits.

Please send comments or corrections to this email, thank

- you.
