Module Descriptions
In this project we have developed a computerized tool that can help users, including gas producers, water utilities, governments, and the public to learn about the characteristics of produced water and the major steps, costs, technologies, and environmental issues associated with production of water for beneficial use from coalbed methane produced water.
The CBM Produced Water Management Tool is a macro-enabled Excel workbook that contains four modules: Water Quality Module (WQM), Treatment Selection Module (TSM), Beneficial Use Screening Module (BSM), and Beneficial Use Economic Module (BEM).
Before you start working with the different Modules that make the tool, we recommend that you read the information provided on each of the Modules. The Modules were developed on a Microsoft Excel platform; however, deep knowledge in working with Excel is not required. The Modules are user friendly and primarily require simple input of data. Users that are not familiar with operation of Excel spreadsheets are encouraged to seek more information on Microsoft's website or other resources.
