EESTECH JetWater System to be Used in Major Coal Seam Gas Contract
SYDNEY, July 7 /Medianet International-AsiaNet/ --
EESTECH's (EESH.PK) thermal desalination Jetwater system will be used by their licensee
Impulse Hydro, in a major contract for a coal seam gas producer.
In line with recent Queensland Government policy changes, coal seam gas producers are
increasingly under pressure to implement self managed water treatment.
Under current legislation, the water that is extracted from the coal seams in order to release
coal seam gas must be treated in order to avoid classification as waste product.
CSG water is predominantly disposed of in evaporation ponds ranging from 1-100 hectares in
area. Limited quantities of untreated CSG water are also used for feeding stock, coal washing
and related petroleum activities.
The Queensland Government has determined that evaporation ponds are to be discontinued as
a primary means for the disposal of CSG water.
Remediation of existing evaporation ponds will occur within three years.
EESTech (which stands for Economically and Environmentally Sustainable Technologies) owns
or holds the rights to three environmentally sustainable technologies, including the JetWater
technology, that have direct applications to the coal mining and energy industries. Impulse Hydro
Pty Ltd is a progressive Australian based company with experience in water treatment for the
burgeoning coal seam gas industry.
Impulse's General Manager, Mr Said Riachi said that the partnership with EESTech provides
them with the final piece of the CSG jigsaw, as it will allow the contaminated water to be cleaned
to near 100 percent purity using a combination of reverse osmosis and thermal desalination
methods.
"Our three stage treatment water treatment system can negate the need for evaporations
ponds, possibly result in treated water suitable for commercial use, and assist with cost
reduction".
Several independent studies have shown the JetWater technology to be the most efficient of its
type available in the market today.
