Aloe-based products have the potential to reduce some of the negative environmental impacts of fracking operations by addressing specific issues related to the use of water and chemicals in the fracking process.
Aloe-based products can be used to reduce the environmental impact of fracking in a number of ways.
Reduce the use of pollutant chemicals used in fracking
Aloe-based products may also help to reduce the use of toxic chemicals in fracking fluids. Some aloe-based products have been shown to have antimicrobial properties, which could reduce the need for other biocides or disinfectants that may be harmful to the environment or human health. Additionally, aloe-based products may help to reduce the use of scale and corrosion inhibitors, which can also be harmful to the environment.
Reduce land use and water consumption
One way that aloe-based products can help reduce environmental impacts is by reducing the amount of water needed for fracking.
Aloe-based additives can help to increase the viscosity of fracking fluids, allowing them to carry more sand and proppants without requiring additional water. This can reduce the amount of water needed for fracking, as well as the amount of wastewater generated by the process.
Aloe vera can also be used to create a barrier between the fracking site and the surrounding land, which can help to prevent soil erosion.
Additionally, aloe vera is a drought-tolerant plant that can be grown in areas with limited water resources. This means that aloe vera can be used to reduce the amount of water that is needed for fracking operations.
Reduce air emissions
Aloe vera has been shown to be effective at reducing methane emissions from fracking operations. Methane is a greenhouse gas that is 25 times more potent than carbon dioxide at trapping heat in the atmosphere. Aloe vera can help to reduce methane emissions by breaking down methane into carbon dioxide and water.
Reduce brine and fracturing fluid leakage
Brine and fracturing fluid are two of the main components of fracking fluid. Brine is a salty water solution that is used to flush the fracking fluid into the ground.
Fracturing fluid is a mixture of chemicals that is used to create cracks in the rock so that the oil and gas can flow out. Both brine and fracturing fluid can be harmful to the environment if they leak into the ground. Aloe vera can help to reduce brine and fracturing fluid leakage by forming a barrier between the fracking site and the surrounding groundwater.
Additionally, aloe based coagulant and flocculant are solutions for use in the treatment of the flowback water.
Reduce water contamination
Fracking fluid can contaminate water supplies if it leaks into the ground. Aloe vera can help to reduce water contamination by absorbing the fracking fluid and preventing it from reaching the water table. Aloe vera based coagulants and flocculants can also help to filter the water and remove contaminants.
Reduce noise pollution
Fracking operations can be noisy, which can disturb wildlife and annoy residents. Aloe vera plantations near the fracking sites can help to reduce noise pollution by absorbing sound waves.
Improve human health
Aloe vera has been shown to have a number of health benefits, including reducing inflammation, soothing burns, and promoting wound healing. These benefits can help to improve the health of people who live near fracking operations.
In conclusion, aloe based products can be used to reduce the environmental impact of fracking in a number of ways. Aloe vera is a renewable resource that is sustainable and environmentally friendly. Aloe vera can be used to reduce land use and water consumption, air emissions, water contamination, noise pollution, and human health impacts.
