Understanding coal seam gas associated water, regulations and strategies for treatment

Process simulation of high pH reverse osmosis systems to facilitate reuse of coal seam gas associated water

“…For example, Australia has substantial CSG reserves which are located mainly in Queensland and northern New South Wales [3]. Challenges arise in the CSG industry due to the production of by-product water which is collected as a result of depressurization of the coal seams during the gas extraction process [4].…”
