SHOWCASE August-September 2015 | Desalination & Water Reuse | 17 | cost than developing a new water supply. Water reuse delivers a resilient, drought-resistant water source with valuable economic and environmental benefits," the company. Xylem was recognized recently by the WateReuse Research Foundation for its commitment to water reuse research and developing innovative water reuse solutions. Vor tech in trials at fracking sites Liberty Oilfield Services is to conduct trials of Energy Recovery's Vor Teq hydraulic pumping system for hydraulic fracturing (fracking) at US well sites. The basis of the system is Energy Recovery's PX Pressure Exchanger technology, which is deployed in more than 15,000 desalination installations worldwide according to Energy Recovery. The trials in the northern US Bakken oilfield formation are expected to last at least six months. The field tests follow months of successful in-house testing, as well as extensive tests at the fabrication facility earlier this quarter said Energy Recovery. The field tests will include deployment of the VorTeq system to a live well site for testing under production conditions. VorTeq increases runtime and reduces maintenance costs by rerouting abrasive fracking fluid away from existing hydraulic fracturing pumps, such that these pumps only process clean water. Energy Recovery president and chief executive officer, Joel Gay said the product will "remain attractive for active [fracking] service providers by addressing the very real problem of regular pump failure." Vice president of technology and development at Liberty Oilfield Services, Ron Gusek, said: "For the past ten years I've been thinking about a way to avoid pumping sand through our high-pressure pumps. I've been seeing this come to fruition with the development of VorTeq." saltech thermal zero liquid system in trials STW Water Process & Technologies, has embarked on a series of demonstrations in Texas of a zero liquid discharge (ZLD) thermal water processing technology which it licences from Salttech under an exclusive agreement. The presentations of Salttech's Dynamic Vapour Recompression (DyVaR) system to regulatory authorities, municipal officials, oil and gas company representatives, and engineers will be open to the public. The presentations are a repeat of events held in January this year at STW's premises in Midland Texas where it used produced and frack flowback water from several producers, water disposal well sites, and brine reject water from a reverse osmosis system. STW has obtained water samples from the Gulf of Mexico for use in the demonstration. STW. The distillate produced at the demonstrations will be verified by an independent, third party, certified water laboratory.
