Extensive Water Treatment CONSOL treats over 36 billion gallons of mine water annually and manages over 97 billion gallons of water Operate 103 waste water treatment plants l Currently operate one Reverse Osmosis ZLD plant and commissioning another that will start up in May 2013 to treat mine water l Operate several passive as well as active selenium treatment systems l Evaluating unique systems such as floating wetlands that could be adapted for use at our sites In 2011, CONSOL had total withdrawals for its mining operations of 25. 3 billion gallons of water l We recycled and re-used 26% of that demand For CONSOL’s gas segment, we had a total demand of 0. 2 billion gallons of water l We recycled and re-used 31% of that demand
CONSOL’s Focus on Technology ¡ ¡ ¡ Must be a clear fit within our core operations Generally interested in emerging technologies that are ready for field demonstration Considering some limited equity investment
