embodiment a

[0057]A method of servicing a wellbore, comprising:

[0058]transporting a plurality of wellbore servicing equipment to a well site associated with the wellbore;

[0059]accessing a water source to form a water stream from the water source to at least one of the plurality of wellbore servicing equipment;

[0060]passing a direct electrical current through the water stream obtained from the water source to coalesce an undissolved solid phase and an undissolved organic phase in the water stream;

[0061]separating the coalesced undissolved solid phase and the coalesced undissolved organic phase from the water stream to yield a substantially single-phase water stream;

[0062]adding ozone to the substantially single-phase water stream to yield an ozonated water stream;

[0063]irradiating the ozonated water stream with ultraviolet light to yield an irradiated water stream;

[0064]forming a wellbore servicing fluid using the irradiated water stream; and placing the wellbore servicing fluid into the wellbor...

embodiment b

[0065]The method of embodiment A, further comprising adding additional ozone to the irradiated water stream prior to forming the wellbore servicing fluid.

embodiment c

[0066]The method of any preceding embodiment, wherein the water stream obtained from the water source has a turbidity>50 NTU.
