This document summarizes a water purification system called the Aqua-ReactorTM. It can purify highly contaminated waste water, such as from fracking operations, to drinking water standards without producing secondary waste. The system combines existing technologies in a novel way. Specifically, it uses the Aqua-ReactorTM as a pre-treatment step to allow downstream components to work more efficiently. Independent tests showed the system reduced total dissolved solids in fracking waste water from over 100,000 mg/L to under 1,200 mg/L. It has applications for various water treatment needs like fracking waste, pharmaceuticals, and more.
