Workshop to Examine “Effective Solutions for Treating Coal Bed Methane Produced Water,” Oct. 25, Gillette, Wyo.
October 16 2007GILLETTE, Wyo. AND RANCHO SANTA MARGARITA, Calif., -- Oct. 16, 2007 – With increased government and industry attention on coal bed methane (CBM) as a plentiful unconventional energy source available domestically, Catalyx Fluid Solutions, a division of RG Global (OTCBB: RGBL), will host an interactive workshop to compare a broad range of technical solutions’ abilities to address the critical issues of mitigating environmental impact from CBM produced water and cost. Water treatment expert Mr. Juzer Jangbarwala will lead the workshop titled “Effective Solutions for Treating Coal Bed Methane Produced Water” on Thurs., October 25, 2007, 9 a.m. – 5 p.m. at the Wingate Inn, 1801 Cliff Davis Ave., Gillette. The workshop, lunch and refreshments are provided at no charge to CBM industry professionals.
While governments in the US, Canada, China and other countries are pushing for increased use of coal bed methane as a clean-burning unconventional fuel to reduce dependence on traditional fossil fuels, environmental concerns and cost have been major factors limiting its use. Mr. Jangbarwala will address the environmental impact, cost and ability to comply with state and federal requirements for discharge water of the various CBM produced water treatment options, including reverse osmosis, ion exchange and electrodialysis and other technologies of interest to participants. Workshop participants are encouraged to discuss water treatment challenges specific to their sites and Mr. Jangbarwala will interactively analyze proposed or possible solutions to determine their technical and economic viability. Mr. Jangbarwala also will offer technical comparisons of new technologies that are being used by some of the largest natural gas and coal bed methane production companies in the Powder River Basin and other areas.
Mr. Jangbarwala holds multiple water treatment patents and founded Hydromatix, Inc., a company that was acquired by BOC Edwards, and Catalyx, Inc., a technology incubator that spun off Catalyx Fluid Solutions (CFS). Currently he is CTO of RG Global which acquired CFS and is a member of multiple United Nations NGO committees on water treatment.
