Novelties of FracVap

■ Latent heat from the well entering the Frac Vap is captured by a plate and frame heat ex-changer, stored in a thermal bank and used throughout the process;

■ CO2 generated from flocculation step lowers pH from 11.5 to about 8.5 in advance of ion exchange resins;

■ Application of Purolite’s Mixed Bed and Specific Ion Exchange Resins to remove general and specific ions from solution;

■ Re-Configured Cooling Tower from USA Manufacturer: Use of Pall Filters to achieve water quality polishing efficiencies ≈ reverse osmosis

(requiring psi of 30 rather than 1200 psi required for RO)

Adapt cooling tower equipment used in A/C applications for building towers to recover water from back flow produced from hydraulic fracking as distilled water vapor – as pure H2O

Recover water from water vapor as liquid H2O for recycling and reuse in fracking process. No limitation to number of times water is recycled as quality is constant ≈ 100% pure.

WFV’s Three Products

WFV produces three (3) products:

A) Solids (dry): Combined solids from centrifuge, resins, filters and cooling tower tubes are dried in a chemical drier.

B) Crude Oil: Returned to client to off-set service cost of water treatment (≈10 bbl/day @ 1.325 m3/minute).

C) Distilled H2O: Condensed H2O is returned to fracking operation for unlimited number of cycles (no contaminant build-up).

Letter of Support: XTO Energy Canada

Subject: Western Frac VapFrom: "Mcouat, Darrell /C" <[email protected]>Date: Mon, May 04, 2015 11:22 amTo: "[email protected]" <[email protected]>Cc: "Taylor, Jamie A" <[email protected]>, "Bruce,Dean F" <[email protected]>Spencer ,  As per our conversation, XTO Energy Canada  has expressed interest in the water conversion process that Western Frac Vap has introduced to us , your ability to covert flow back frac fluid to meet the AER “Test and Release” criteria. This would allow XTO to store the converted flow back water in larger and more economical storage containment and reuse this fluid for additional fracs.

XTO has offered Western Frac Vap the opportunity to set up their equipment on a couple of XTO’s locations to execute  a pilot with their mobile equipment . If this technology meets the expectations of the Producer there would be a potential for a long term relationship with Western Frac Vap.Thanks and look forward to working with you in the future  Darrell McOuat Water Management XTO Energy Canada Suite 400321-6th Ave SWOffice 403.766.1057Cell      587.439.4887
