Aqua Freed® Technology Simulation
The patented Aqua Freed® process is explained below:
Step One : Aqua Freed® personnel study the well data to determine the correct placement of the packer. After the pump is pulled a packer is inserted to the desired depth to confine and direct the carbon dioxide to the treatment area.		Step Two: Gaseous carbon dioxide is injected through the packer into the well; producing a highly abrasive carbonic acid solution and penetrating far into the surrounding formation.		Step Three: Liquefied carbon dioxide is injected at various temperatures and pressures. When the liquefied carbon dioxide comes in contact with the water, it expands rapidly, producing tremendous agitation. The continued, controlled injection of the liquefied carbon dioxide produces the energy necessary to detach, dislodge and remove mineral encrustation, biological fouling and physical plugging.		Step Four: After treatment the well is mechanically developed using surge/airlift methods to remove the newly dislodged particulate matter from the well and formation. The well pump is then reinstalled and the well returned to service, providing and increased supply of water for its intended us
