Lafarge to start fracking waste water trial
The Nova Scotia government has said that hydraulic fracturing
waste water is going to be shipped to a Lafarge Canada cement plant in
Brookfield for use in cement production.
Environment Minister Randy Delorey presented details of the pilot project at a community meeting in Truro.
Atlantic Industrial Services will ship 2Ml of waste water from holding ponds in Debert to Brookfield over a three week period. The water will be used as coolant in the kiln and evaporated at 700°C. Lafarge will test its equipment for residual inorganic materials before and after using the water.
