Abstract:
A method and device for treating contaminated water where the device is portable. The method includes the steps of moving contaminated water into a first tank to settle out large solids such as cuttings and metallic particles while adding a pH modifier, a coagulant, and gaseous ozone. Moving the contaminated water into a second tank where the pre-treated water is subjected to an electro-coalescing process that subjects the water to a strong DC current as the water passes between several bi-metallic plates. After the electro-coalescing process the water may be filtered to remove the remaining solids resulting from the pre-treatment and the electro-coalescing process or the solids may be allowed to settle. The resulting water may then be re-used in the fracturing or drilling processes.

Claim (Index 6):
A fluid treatment system comprising:\n a skid having a first tank, an ozone source, and a pH modifying agent,\n wherein a contaminated water is introduced into the first tank along with ozone from the ozone source, \n wherein the pH is raised to between 9.0 and 9.4, \n wherein a multiplicity of first solid particles are allowed to settle out in the first tank, \n the skid having a second tank, a polyacrylamide coagulant source, and an electric power supply, wherein the electric power supply is connected to bimetallic electrodes in the second tank,\n further wherein the bimetallic electrodes are iron and aluminum; \n wherein the contaminated water from the first tank passes between the bimetallic electrodes in the second tank, \n wherein a polyacrylamide coagulant is injected into the water after passing the contaminated water out of the second tank having the bimetallic electrodes, wherein adding the polyacrylamide coagulant directly results in a coagulated hydrocarbon, and allowing the coagulated hydrocarbon to settle out of the water.
