Superblend 48: Salt Water Disposal
For every barrel of oil that is produced in the United States an average of 8 barrels of water are produced with it.
If the produced water is not reused for additional fracking operations, it is sent to a Salt Water Disposal Well where it is injected back down inside the earth. This poses many environmental concerns.
But there is a solution!
With SuperBlend 48 the contaminated water can be reused for irrigation, yes, irrigation.
SuperBlend 48 is a potent blend of live microbes and enzymes that target and eradicate all contaminants present in the water.
The powerful microbes break the molecular bond of salts, encapsulating the harmful elements that make up the salt.
The result is a “Super Water” containing beneficial organic matter, and vital

    During the process in which the fracking solution is forced into the ground at high pressures, occasionally toxic fluids can leak out from the system and contaminate nearby drinking water. Environmental studies have concluded that methane concentrations are seventeen times higher in drinking water wells near fracturing sites. There are at least 1,000 documented cases of water contamination next to fracking areas as well as cases of sensory, respiratory, and neurological damage due to ingested contaminated water. Up to six hundred chemicals are used in the fluid solution they send into the ground, including carcinogens and toxins such as uranium, methanol, mercury, hydrolic acid, ethylene, glycol, and formaldehyde. When they bring the fracturing fluid back up after fracturing the shale rocks, to release the natural gas, only thirty to fifty percent of it is recovered. The waste solution recovered is then left in open air pits to evaporate, releasing harmful VOC’s (volatile…

    They are concerned that millions of gallons of contaminated wastewater are produced from fracking methods and that there are currently no facilities operating to remove these pollutants. When separated by a mile or more from groundwater sources and the earth’s surface, the ancient marine waters along with naturally existing toxic compounds are not an issue, but “Fracking disturbs, distributes, and carries upward with the fracked gas ‘produced waters’ containing radioactive materials, heavy metals, hydrocarbons such as BTEX (benzene, toluene, ethyl benzene, and toluene [sic.]), bromide, highly concentrated salts, and many other organic and inorganic compounds that, when exposed to our environment, are dangerous health hazards—many are known as carcinogens and toxic to biological life” (Carluccio “Destroying Our Groundwater” Para. 1). Which brings up the question of why can’t they use less toxic chemicals in the fracking process? Tracy Carluccio, the Deputy Director of the Delaware Riverkeeper Network, continues by stating, “even if companies were to switch to ‘green’, ‘non-toxic’ fracking fluids, drilling and fracking in these deep formations will always deliver potentially deadly chemical hazards, even in a perfectly regulated world” (Carluccio “Destroying Our Groundwater” Para. 1). The cement and steel casings used in combination with the methods for sealing post-production gas wells do not confine the methane along with other dangerous gases and contaminated fluids that are pressurized within the aquifer.…

    Hydraulic Fracturing or fracking was first introduced in 1940s and has then been a key provider of natural gas and oil worldwide. Despite its expansion and customary use, fracking still poses many health and environmental concerns. During fracking, pressurized liquids are injected into drilled wells, which cause the surrounding rock to crack open allowing gas and oil flow through the fissures. Millions of gallons of water are used and a similarly large volume of waste water is generated. Most of the water is never restored and the stored waste water and fracking fluid can adversely affect the animals and vegetation around it. Along with the water, other chemicals are injected into the ground as far as 10,000 feet below the surface and enter groundwater, polluting drinking sources for many. Fracking may be a key provider of oil but this expensive, polluting, low energy-return process is not worth the loss of wildlife habitat, natural land and innumerable water resources.…

    Most wastewater currently disposed of across the nation is generated and produced in the process of oil and gas extraction. As discussed above, saltwater is produced as a byproduct during the extraction process. This wastewater is found at nearly every oil and gas extraction well. The other main constituent of wastewater is leftover hydraulic fracturing fluid. Once hydraulic fracturing is completed, drilling engineers extract the fluids that are remaining in the well. Some of this recovered hydraulic fracturing fluid is used in subsequent fracking operations, while some of it is disposed of in deep…

    Being as though fresh water is already an issue tainting nearly the whole planet, one would assume that there would be a serious effort to prevent further contamination of the water supply. Source C also explains how the chemicals used for fracking aren’t human-friendly which can lead to mutations in the skin. Finally, Source C touches open the emission of greenhouse gases. The release of such gases is harmful to our already deteriorating ozone layer. Other cons of fracking are explored in source B would be pollution associated with the process of fracking from the noise of fracking and the process itself.…

    While fracking accidents are mostly harming the animals, fracking also pollutes the water, consequently people are noticing a huge change in water quality. Fracking contaminates the water in a very obvious way. Fracking could had been done only using water and clean sand. However to make the job easier and cheaper, the process includes many other 596 or more chemicals, many were harmful and some were unknown. Even though the fluid used in the process is pumped out after doing its job, it's impossible to get it all out. People found black grease, odors, methane, a gassy taste, and black sediments in their drinking water after the…

    In the process of hydraulic fracturing (fracking) waste fluid is a resulting product other than the gas extracted. This waste fluid is toxic, and there are currently no regulations that require companies to properly dispose of the toxic waste fluid produced. The current disposal method is leaving the volatile organic compounds (waste fluid) in open pits where the most toxic remain of the once fracking fluid are left to evaporate or leach back into the ground resulting in air and ground…

    The amount of water that is used is not environmentally friendly. The large amount of water used in fracking a year is equal to 80 cities with a population of 50 thousand water consumption annually (Earth Works). Once the water is used it becomes waste water and is most commonly left in open pits to evaporate. Currently there are not a lot of ways to contain the wastewater; however, some companies believe that using deep well injection as a method of disposal are actually quite wrong. In the US some fracking companies dispose their wastes in deep wells that lie underneath the surface. It has even been directly related to causing earthquakes. This happens in several states in the United States, however, Pennsylvania has outlawed the use of deep well injection (Easton). As a result, the fracking companies are forced to transport the wastewater by road. “To haul water off-site for disposal over the 20-year life of a hydraulic fracturing well-project, it was estimated to cost $160 million (includes trucking costs, water disposal costs and labor)” (Easton). It is evident that there are no safe ways currently developed for disposing fracking wastewater. Subsequently, there have been several recorded accidents in the U.S that were caused by improper disposal of waste…
