>I have six pilot projects currently ongoing [to study produced water]. Those pilot projects are there to prove out the viability of beneficial use for agriculture as well as possible potable use. We’re testing the crops [and] making sure the soil’s not accumulating any unknown or known constituents at harmful levels. [This] is proving out to be very, very successful. We are doing the testing and the other things required to develop a produced water standard for potable use. We’re probably three years out from the scientific data that’s required to support that. As a practical level, there’s not a single person in that arena that will dispute the fact that today the technology exists to clean up produced water for drinking use. It’s just how far do you want to go with it and how much money you want to spend?

The oil and gas industry has always held its chemistry very close to the chest. If we're expected to be drinking treated wastewater^W "produced water" from the oil and gas industry, then I believe we the people have a right to know what, *exactly*, has been removed, and *how*. I'm not about to take a "trust me bro" from science funded by the very industry under scrutiny.

>We need pipelines for water and oil. I prioritize water right under air. We need air to breathe. We can’t last four or five minutes without it. We need water to live. After about four or five days, it’s a problem. And everything else is convenience. You know, energy is awesome. We need electricity. It’s important. It does a lot of great things. But if I had to pick some[thing] I can’t do without, centuries have proved this out, it’s water. If you have water, you have people. And if you don’t, you don’t. So it’s time to address water.

Well at least he's not an outright insane Republican. 🤷

New post-doctoral research position in my group at University College London (#UCL), looking at the use of **optimization for the design of dynamic and flexible processes for electronic waste**, in collaboration with researchers in multi-phase and micro-channel flow experiments for process intensification and in model identification for the development of dynamic models. The eventual deliverable of this project is a demonstrator process with a digital twin. External collaboration includes both industry and two local councils, Newham Council in London and West Sussex County Council.

Closing date: 13 February 2025
