Together, Dow Water & Process Solutions, a business unit of Dow Chemical Co., and Omni Water Solutions have treated more than 245,000 barrels of flowback and produced water from Texas’ Eagle Ford shale hydraulic fracturing operations. 

Improved shale oil and gas extraction technologies have led to a renewal in the energy industry in North America, and thermal fluid heaters are used in many processes to help bring these products to market. One of these processes is amine gas treating.

Alfa Laval, Lund, Sweden, has won an order to supply compact heat exchangers to a liquefied natural gas plant for processing of shale gas in the United States. 

Significant shale-driven production growth in the U.S. Northeast and soaring demand from the Southeast will turn the nation’s traditional south-to-north and west-to-east pipeline natural gas flows and price spreads upside down.

Heyl & Patterson demonstrated the equipment it manufactures for drying frac sand for the shale gas industry during The Frac Sand Insider Conference. Held June 6-7 at the Westin Convention Center in Pittsburgh, the event was intended for new and experienced frac sand producers.
