New Process May Solve Old Coalbed Methane Problem

摘要

Results should be in by Thanksgiving for the test run of a Montana-based engineering firm's proposed solution for a major environmental problem from coalbed methane gas drilling. If the packaged water-treatment system successfully purifies brackish water that sometimes comes with the gas, the procedure could help advance the stalled CBM industry, which produces 9% of U.S. domestic natural gas.
