Generation of hydrocarbon fuels having a reduced environmental impact

摘要

The Fischer-Tropsch (FT) process can be controlled to create water that has desirable characteristics for use in secondary processes such as fracking or irrigation.

主权项

1. A method of fracking, comprising:
creating water in a Fischer-Tropsch (FT) process to form created water; storing the created water in a location close to a fracking site; injecting the created water in a well at the fracking site; wherein a product stream from the FT process is separated into a first aqueous stream and a second aqueous stream; wherein the first aqueous stream contains a lower concentration of carbon than the second aqueous stream; and wherein water from the first aqueous stream is stored and injected into the well at the fracking site.
