In accordance with one embodiment, a recovery unit for treating fractionated water produced by a hydraulic fracturing process is provided. The recovery unit comprises a feed strainer in fluid communication with at least one feed pump that is in fluid communication with at least one flash tank. The unit may also include at least one pre-heater in fluid communication with a condensate pot and vacuum pump, the at least one pre-heater receiving steam and the condensate pot and vacuum pump condensing the steam for transfer to at least one condensate water storage tank and removing any non-condensable gas to transfer fluid to at least one condensate storage tank. The recovery unit may include one or more flash tanks in fluid communication with separate salt settling tanks and transfer pumps for removing salt (crystals) from the brine fluid at various stages of the treatment process. |
