Produced Water Treatment for Recycling
From Liability to Asset:
Produced Water Built for Reuse.
Treatment programs that take produced water from a disposal challenge to a frac-ready resource — without disrupting the chemistry that follows.
What We Do
Produced water recycling is one of the highest-value moves an operator can make. Done right, it cuts freshwater sourcing costs, reduces disposal volumes, and turns a recurring liability into a usable asset. Done poorly, it introduces problems downstream — fouled frac fluid, scale, microbial regrowth, and incompatibility with completions chemistry.
PureLine Energy Solutions builds recycle programs that work on both ends:
Produced water comes in dirty and variable, and goes out clean, stable, and compatible with the operator’s frac fluid system.
Oxidation of H₂S, iron sulfides, SRB, and APB using the right chemistry for the water — typically ClO₂, sometimes PAA or combinations
How the Program Runs
Every recycle program is engineered around the source water, the target reuse application, and the operator’s existing chemistry. Typical components include:
Documented reductions in iron and suspended solids — bench-scale studies have confirmed up to 98% iron removal and 94% solids reduction
Low residual levels that integrate cleanly with friction reducers and frac fluid systems
Bacterial control to undetectable levels at the discharge point
Optional add-ons: scale inhibitors, clay stabilizers, and non-oxidizing biocides for downhole residual protection
What You Get Out of It
A produced water stream that meets the operator’s recycle specification
Reduced fresh-water sourcing, hauling, and disposal costs
Documented treatment performance, ready for sustainability reporting
A water program that doesn’t compromise frac performance
