Abstract:
Disposal of concentrated, unusable, relatively untreatable liquid wastes is an important problem in water-pollution control. Deep-well injection is one means for disposing of such wastes.
The feasibility of deep-well injection depends on site suitability, waste characteristics, economics, and legal considerations. Geologic factors determine site suitability and have an important influence on economics and the suitability of waste for injection. Thus, careful geologic evaluation is a prerequisite for deep-well waste injection.
There are at least 110 deep industrial-waste injection wells in the United States. A wide variety of wastes is injected through these wells under extremely varied conditions of flow rate and pressure. Subsurface reservoirs range in age from Pleistocene to Precambrian and, with a few exceptions, are composed of sandstone, limestone, or dolomite.
