Treatment technology development and evaluation

We help companies develop technologies, and provide baseline data on how those technologies perform. 

Resource extraction and exploitation

Produced waters contain a myriad of valuable resources, such as minerals, precious metals, and rare earth elements.

Produced water economics and beneficial reuse

The mission of our research is to determine the cost points where water reuse is a viable option.

Our Mission

The Mission of the Center of Excellence for Produced Water Management is to develop and implement environmentally sustainable and economically fruitful water resource recovery programs for industrial and municipal wastewaters.
The Center is organized as a consortium of university researchers and representation from the oil and gas industry, government agencies, environmental organizations and other stake holders; as well as, promoting partnerships with additional institutions such as the current teaming with the Center for Advance Energy Studies (CAES).
