Re-injection of coal seam gas water
This project aimed to understand, quantify and manage clogging of injection wells during re-injection of CSG water permeates, brines and blends.
The final report outlines strategies to manage clogging of re-injection wells to maximise re-injection volumes.

Understanding and quantifying clogging and its management during re- injection of CSG water permeates, brines and blends
This project produced a verified clogging model based on a series of planned laboratory tests was developed to provide scientific guidance and help develop strategies to avoid or minimize clogging.
In addition to a guideline for the quality of injected water was developed in order to minimize problems of compatibility between water and aquifer materials.
An explanation for differences in the process of colloid adsorption in batch and column studies
This study was conducted to explicitly provide a critical and systematic comparison between batch and column experiments. The aim was to investigate the underlying factors causing the commonly observed discrepancies in colloid adsorption process in column and batch systems.

Geochemical response to re-injection
This project aimed to understand and quantify aquifer reactions occurring due to re-injection of CSG water, and their impacts on water quality.
