Gradiant Energy Services Brings Bacteria Treatment Technology to the Midland Basin

Oilfield Services Company Deploys Cost-Saving Water Solution in the
Heart of the Permian Basin

DENVER–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Gradiant
Energy Services (GES), an oilfield services company that specializes
in oilfield water solutions, announced today that its bacteria
disinfection product line, Free Radical Disinfection (FRD™), has been
successfully deployed in several projects in the Midland Basin. GES’ FRD
technology is a bacteria treatment solution that provides high
throughput to disinfect bacteria and treat water for storage pit
maintenance, on-the-fly disinfection prior to hydraulic fracturing
operations and pre-salt water disposal (SWD) injection.

Using this safe, green technology, the treatment unit can be utilized
for ‘short kill’ or a combination of ‘short and long kill.’ Quality
control is a critical step in any water treatment service and GES is set
up extensively for accurate quality control and assurance during this
process.

“Our customers are very interested in the economics and environmental
benefits of our FRD technology,” said Danny Jimenez, Chief Executive
Officer of Gradiant Energy Services. “Unlike competing technologies, FRD
combines our unique chemistry application with salt to remove bacteria,
eliminating the risk, cost and transportation associated with use of
hazardous biocides, such as chlorine dioxide or any chemical-based
biocide that requires potentially harmful chemicals to be physically
transported on and off the site.”

The presence of bacteria can lead to reservoir souring, resulting in
increased maintenance and operating costs. The mobile, deployable FRD
technology is the ideal solution for Midland Basin projects that require
water to be disinfected for use in hydraulic fracturing and
pre-saltwater disposal injection.

GES supports oil and gas companies throughout the U.S., particularly
those facing water scarcity, disposal restrictions and high
transportation costs. The company’s robust portfolio of treatment
solutions meets a wide range of needs from bacteria disinfection and
clean brine to evaporation and desalination.

Originally part of parent company Gradiant, GES became a subsidiary in
September of last year. The new structure allows GES to build on its
success in the oil and gas industry, while Gradiant focuses on
continually innovating water treatment technologies that support GES, as
well as other industrial applications.
