Advisory Board
DR. DAVID BOYLAN ADVISOR
PhD. in Chemistry from the University of Hawaii and a post doctorate at the University of California, Berkeley. Dr. Boylan has a diverse background in chemistry, biology and engineering. At Greenfield Environmental he developed ways to chemically or biologically detoxify contaminated ground area water. An off shoot of this work lead to the formation of a lab to study and develop biological methods for the conversion of synthesis gas to liquid fuels. At United Energy, he developed low temperature solar operated alcohol fuel distillation system, and developed integrated bio-systems for the production of water, fuels and food. He was involved with new methods to generating electricity from photovoltaics and integrated co-generation systems. At Del Mar Farms, Dr. Boylan designed and implemented an integrated fish/ hydroponics vegetable farm using recycled water. The farm concept was successfully applied at a commercial level. BRTs low temperature, ambient pressure vapor distillation system, also known as a Supplemental Recovered Thermal system (SRT), currently being utilized by Burner Technology was developed at this time. Dr. Boylans work successfully has been implemented in the bottled water industry utilizing solar thermal energy and sea water to produce a high end bottled water.
As the Chief Scientist for Burner Technology and Research Corporation, Dr. Boylan has designed and successfully tested the Brine Concentration System utilizing waste heat.

U.S. Fracking Operations Produced an Estimated 280 Billion Gallons of Wastewater in 2012
45% of Domestic Natural Gas Production and 17% of Oil Production would be lost within 5 Years without the use of Hydraulic Fracturing
Problems/Opportunity
An average of 2.5 million gallons of water are used to frack a well Drilling operators are spending between $20 and $30 BILLION on Water Disposal Wastewater, also known as produced water, is stored in ponds for partial evaporation, with the remainder being shipped offsite for disposal. Brine water produced can be more than 6 times as salty as sea water The most common disposal method is the transportation and re-injection of the brine into non-producing wells. Produced water is transported from drill sites by tanker trucks at significant cost. Traffic congestion, noise and damage to roadways caused by these vehicles have become points of contention with local permitting entities and residents in proximity to drilling operations. Oil Companies in North Dakota burn off or waste one third of the natural gas they are extracting. Essentially burning more than $100 Million every month. Diesel powered generators used to produce electricity on many drill sites are expensive and increase carbon footprint.
Harvesting Natural Gas: Fracking Paul Glanville, Principal Engineer at the Gas Technology Institute, May 2012
As with all resource development, with the extraction of shale gas come numerous challenges to minimize its environmental impact, the rapid nature of this boom compounded these challenges. Put simply fracking is the injection of water under high pressures in deep wells to fracture gas bearing shale formations, so it is no surprise that its impact on water quality impact is critical. With the large amount of water required for fracking operations, its reuse, treatment, and transportation are a major operational component and cost of shale gas development going forward. The salt content of produced water creates challenges in its treatment and disposal, as typical produced water has a salt content of 50 250 g/L of dissolved salts compared to 38 g/L for seawater. Put into perspective, the salt output of a development area in a typical Pennsylvania county (roughly 1,000 wells) will produce more salt per year than the entire state uses for roads over a decade, with transport and treatment of brine on the order of $10 million per year per development area. As an alternative this costly practice of the interstate hauling and deep well disposal of wastewater brine, Tom and his team are currently investigating several methods of wastewater concentration and treatment. They have investigated methods that simply concentrate brines, reducing the brine volume from 10-20% up to 50-70%, reducing transportation costs, however if produced wastewater is treated instead of disposed, Tom notes, the impact of hauling is minimized with reduced trucking emissions, road wear, and traffic.
