About Carrier Gas Concentration (CGC):
CGC is an on-site, mobile evaporative disposal system utilizing a carrier gas to extract water vapor from wastewater (like produced water)
via a multi-stage bubble column heat exchanger. This process results in the release of water vapor into the atmosphere and a concentrated
brine that can be used for drilling, workover and completions or to reduce disposal volumes.
