THE FUTURE OF WATER EVAPORATION

SUSTAINABLE AND ECONOMICAL

CONVERTing a LIABILITY INTO AN ASSET

TO protect THE BALANCE OF WATER

Conventional approaches to treating produced water have long been characterized by energy and chemically intensive processes, which require tremendous infrastructure and capital expense. Wastewater removal has required vast real estate for evaporation and holding ponds with intrinsic risks to nearby waterways, aquifers and wildlife. Whether the risk inherent in an operation's water management is contamination, air pollution, seismicity, carbon emissions, or flooding, it is now possible to replace these problematic approaches with a superior, and more sustainable alternative--the EcoVAP Evaporative Matrix™ (EM).

EcoVAP’s patented technology can be installed anywhere in the world, directly at the source of the produced water, to safely and quickly convert the most hazardous water into freshwater vapor. Our Evaporative Matrix structures accomplish rapid evaporation in a reduced land footprint. Concentrated contaminants can then be disposed of ethically while restored water is returned to the hydrological cycle, where it is so desperately needed. EcoVAP technology isn't just a sustainable approach to wastewater challenges, it can actually help restore the balance of water.
REVIEW OUR RESULTS

LOWEST OPERATING &
CAPITAL EXPENDITURES

Customers realize operational efficiencies within days after installation due to passively powered, no-maintenance technology and more efficient performance. Lightweight and modular interlocking panels drastically reduce initial assembly to 1-2 weeks. CapEx is effectively eliminated through an EcoVAP Disposal-As-A-Service (DAAS) plan.

ENVIRONMENTALLY SUPERIOR IN EVERY WAY

Our approach eliminates virtually all negative environmental impacts, dramatically reducing risk and liabilities throughout every phase of the processing lifecycle. No risk for seismicity, no contamination, no more airborne toxins and 100% recyclable materials. It’s the most ethical choice organizations can make.

OPERATIONALLY UNRIVALLED ON EVERY METRIC

2017 testing demonstrating the EcoVAP Evaporative Matrix™ to be nearly 6000% faster and more efficient than comparable water removal methods. With EcoVAP solutions, water processing can occur right next to the source of produced water. Trucking to offsite disposal locations is reduced by 90%+. EcoVAP installations can also be reconfigured, relocated, and recycled as needs evolve.

FEWER RESOURCES & LOGISTICAL DEMANDS

Our approach requires a fraction of the real estate and dramatically lowers the typical infrastructure, transportation, and power resources required by competing solutions. Solar powered and vertically integrated, each Evaporative Matrix installation reduces the total number of dependencies required to process produced water.
