Some Examples Of Possible Clean Fracking Technology

By Earlene McGee


Natural gases can be found on the ground just like you can find a well bore that can provide you and the household with the right H2O supply. However, extracting it would be very difficult. Natural gases makes generating electricity more affordable. There are different ways that electricity is produced. However, it is always better if you would have various options to use as raw ingredient. Burning fossil fuels have always been the number one procedure. Now it is no longer limited to that.

This is a method that utilizes clean and pure water to create cracks so that the pipes can easily have access inside and extract the elements within. The products being taken out are essential to the creation of electricity supply especially gases. However, it is still not a perfect technology as they are also aiming to create clean fracking technology so that it would not raise any environmental issues.

Because coal is the major resource for creating electricity, this might be a good chance to have other options for it. The diversity of the options would make the supply more sustainable. And according to industrialists, this is better compared to coal because the carbon dioxide emission is far lesser.

But the benefits are often overshadowed by the risks that it poses. It is true that it has become more effective compared to the processes before. However, it is still not perfect. There are controversies surrounding the issue. One would be the amount of fresh waters being used for the process. It is not exactly a good thing because it lessens the limited resource that people have.

Although the greenhouse contribution is lesser, it is still contributing to it. And there is a chance that dangerous natural gas can leak causing damages to health and environment. The process is still undergoing improvements and the debates are not over yet. The companies involved are trying to find ways to lessen any further damage.

For example, there is one method that uses not water but a gelled liquid that has propane content. Because of the sticky consistency of the liquid, it can hold the formation better especially for the extraction operation. It eliminates the need for water and it also minimizes the possibility of leaks.

There are also several people who make use of recycled water. There are chemicals added to it and there are also revisions created to the process to make sure that the effects would be the same as utilizing fresh water. Brine has a grayish color indicating that it is not exactly very clean.

Waste waters can still be treated so that it can be pure again. This is one of the ways that the natural resources can be preserved. With the continuous treatment, sooner or later, there will be no need for the fresher option. All you have to use is the treated one.

To power the machines, there is a need for fuel, specifically diesel. And when machines are on, they emit smoke that contains thousands of pollutants and gases that can affect the environment in a very negative way. And because of this, they are thinking of using natural gases as the best alternative.
