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
 Currently operate one Reverse Osmosis ZLD plant and
commissioning another that will start up in May 2013 to
treat mine water
 Operate several passive as well as active selenium
treatment systems
 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
 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
 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
