The exploitation of shale gas is likely to be critical to UK security of energy supply, balance of payments and competiveness of the manufacturing industries in the future. However there is strong public opposition, largely because of environmental concerns focused on public perception of large quantities of contaminated water being produced. For this reason, safe and effective design, operation and monitoring of fracturing and flowback water treatment processes is crucial. Model-based engineering is a key technology to achieve these, but currently no suitable comprehensive set of tools exists. This feasibility study proposal is for pre-commercial development of a high-fidelity modelling toolbox for optimal design and operation of shale gas water treatment facilities based on transferring, adapting and extending well-established existing technology and expertise from other sectors such as chemicals & petrochemicals and conventional wastewater treatment. It also involves engagement of key stakeholders to explore the requirements and potential applications for subsequent commercial development of product and services based on the pre-commercil development.

页岩气的开采可能对英国未来的能源供应安全、国际收支平衡和制造业竞争力至关重要。然而，公众强烈反对，主要是因为环境问题集中在公众对生产大量污染水的看法。因此，压裂和返排水处理工艺的安全有效设计、运行和监测至关重要。基于模型的工程是实现这些目标的关键技术，但目前还没有合适的综合工具。该可行性研究提案旨在对高保真建模工具箱进行商业化前开发，以优化页岩气水处理设施的设计和运营，并基于转移、调整和扩展来自其他行业（如化学品和石化产品以及传统废水处理）的成熟现有技术和专业知识。其亦涉及主要持份者的参与，以探讨基于上市前开发的产品及服务的后续商业开发的要求及潜在应用。
