Researcher eyes better treatment for coal seam methane gas water
Published on 04 June, 2010
CQUniversity researcher Ben Kele believes he can find a better filter mixture for the treatment of water used in the coal seam methane gas process, crucial for the LNG industry.
Mr Kele, who also runs a water consultancy firm, is testing a range of filter mixtures to produce a water suitable for sustainable agricultural use.
He says the goal is to remove the risk of adding sodium to soils when returning water to the land.
Mr Kele has honed his water filtration experience with projects for the Woodford Folk Festival and at The Sunrise at 1770 community near Agnes Water.
