The project will demonstrate the feasibility of a novel and innovative approach for managing and maximizing reuse of waters produced for reservoir pressure and plume management during CO₂ injection. This approach aims to be environmentally sustainable. 

The produced brines will undergo pre-treatment and/or pre-concentration (if total dissolved solids is < 50,000 mg/L) prior to evaporation. Following evaporation, the very concentrated waste brine and solids will undergo solidification/stabilization to form an easily manageable solid that can be landfilled. Moisture in the flue gases from the evaporation process will be condensed using supercritical CO₂ as the working fluid to recover water for reuse.
