Abstract

A method, an apparatus, and a computer program product for treating fracking fluids are provided in which a dispersion system receives a portion of a body of fracking fluid collected in a well. The dispersion system may comprise a hydrodynamic mixing chamber and a nozzle. An additive comprising one or more of ozone and oxygen may be mixed with a portion of collected fluid passing through the mixing chamber. The nozzle may disperse a mixture of the collected fluid and additive received from the mixing chamber. The system may comprise a controller having at least one processor configured to monitor the level of the additive or a contaminant in the well. The processor may be configured to cause a portion of the fluid to be pumped from the well through an outflow main when the level of fluid in the well exceeds a threshold level.
