Oil and gas operators demand a 24-hour-a-day, 7-day-a-week performance from their wells, and any equipment associated with well operation must meet this performance standard. Many oil and gas wells are located in remote locations, and operate in harsh environments. Altela’s systems are designed to operate unattended on a continuous basis in the harsh oil and gas field environment.

Altela's clean, treated produced water re-used by Navajo Nation
AltelaRain® systems have successfully treated produced water in the U.S. and Canada. Multiple commercial sites have been commissioned from the Marcellus natural gas basin of Pennsylvania, the San Juan Basin of New Mexico, the Piceance Basin of Colorado and up to Alberta Canada. Clean water from our system has also been successfully re-used by the Navajo Nation from a well site in northwestern New Mexico, saving the people in the region from having to travel hundreds of miles for clean water. The process has been recognized and approved by all necessary regulatory government agencies for these locations.

AltelaRain® system highlights include:

• Extremely high quality of treated water; less than 500 ppm TDS
• No pressure vessels; extremely safe
• Dramatically reduces water hauling/trucking costs
• Low relative cost
• High energy efficiency
• Unattended operation
• No fouling or scaling
• No membranes to replace
• Extremely safe operation at ambient pressure and low temperature
• Productive use of “free” waste heat or solar energy
• No pre- or post-treatment required
• Easily sized to location’s need
• Ability to operate in diverse geographies
• Service business model; no customer capital required
