Coated Hydraulic Fracturing Sand suppresses dangerous dust.
2016-03-28 14:31:07| Industrial Newsroom - All News for Today
Added to hydraulic fracturing operations' dust management systems, UNIFRAC® DUSTSHIELD™ minimizes airborne particles generated during proppant conveyance, mixing, and pumping. This non-toxic suppression system reduces overall job/well-site exposure to respirable silica dust by up to >99%. This dust suppression technology is exclusively coated on UNIFRAC northern white sand; proppant is fully compatible with hydraulic fracturing fluids.

U.S. to halt approvals of hydraulic fracturing off California coast
2016-01-29 17:23:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Associated Press: The federal government has agreed to stop approving hydraulic fracturing off the California coast until it studies whether the practice is safe for the environment. The agreements filed Friday in Los Angeles federal court settle lawsuits brought by environmental groups that challenged the approval of the practice off Ventura and Santa Barbara. The deals require the Department of Interior to review whether well stimulation techniques such as fracking threaten water quality and marine life. The...
