Technology

Near the surface, porous, permeable rock layers allow water and other fluids to move freely. These layers are protected by multiple steel casings cemented through the zone to the surface, physically isolating the disposal system from drinking water sources before waste ever travels down.

A dense, low-permeability rock layer acts as an additional barrier between the underground source of drinking water (USDW) and the disposal zone below, providing redundancy to the primary confining zone. Production casing extends through this layer and is cemented to the formation, providing an engineered barrier as the slurry passes through the tubing inside the production casing.

This is the main geological barrier above the injection zone. The thick, impermeable rock layer limits upward movement of injected material. Its confinement abilities are confirmed through detailed geological and engineering evaluation. The cemented production casing adds an independent engineered seal through this zone.

Our target formation is a deep, porous, permeable rock layer selected for its potential to receive and permanently store organic waste. The material travels down the tubing into the injection zone, which is separated from USDW by thousands of feet of rock with multiple impermeable confining layers. The surrounding geology provides natural containment while the cemented well casing provides engineered isolation along the wellbore.

A second impermeable confining layer below the injection zone prevents downward migration and provides a barrier between the injection zone and the underlying geologic basement. Together with the primary confining zone above and the cemented casings, it provides multiple layers of natural and engineered confinement.
