Teaming up for shale gas wastewater treatment

Layne Christensen Company and Aqua-Pure Ventures, Inc. have entered into a teaming agreement under which the companies intend to jointly promote opportunities and projects where the combination of their respective technologies provide unique solutions for the treatment and disposal of flowback, produced water and other applicable waste streams.

The agreement contemplates that both companies will market the other’s products and services to exploit complementary technologies, to provide shale gas operators with a ‘turnkey solution’ for treatment of flowback, produced water and other applicable waste streams. The parties intend that their combined services will provide a comprehensive solution for pretreatment, reuse and disposal of wastewater using both mobile and permanent facilities.

The companies expect their combined capabilities to provide opportunities across North America.  They also anticipate opportunities to collaborate globally in heavy oil, power, mining and other related industries.

Aqua-Pure’s technology is now being deployed in the Marcellus Shale, at Eureka Resources’ water treatment facility in Williamsport, USA. Aqua-Pure’s NOMAD units are now recycling up to 300 000 gal. of wastewater every day from a wide range of producers.
