Patents & Approvals

7

Rover & Nomad Systems Cutting-edge, cost-effective technologies that recycles hard-to-treat wastewater into

re-useable fresh water, thus creating an environmentally sustainable water cycle.

Aqua-Pure holds 65 patents (63 issued and 2 pending) covering 40 countries. Patents focus - unique configured, forced convection heat recovery and transfer circuit,

combined with conventional vapor recompression circuitry, to maximize heat transfer to produce purified water.

This MVR process is complex, yet extremely efficient, requiring significantly less energy to produce one pound of steam, a 90+% reduction in energy from conventional methods.

Clear Solutions

High level of regulatory acceptance: Holder of permits in key shale gas states: TX, AR, PA Received first long term TX recycling permit Unblemished record with the TX RRC First operation to meet new PA DEP discharge rules First NPDES discharge permit in AR for Fayetteville Shale water

Low cost, high efficiency MVR (Mechanical Vapor Recompression) system.

Semi-mobile, oil field designed brine concentrator that utilizes a distillation process to produce fresh water from flowback and produced water.

Equipment placement at/or near well site, uses well-head gas as its energy source. Significantly reduces downtime (cleaning and/or maintenance) due to modular system design.

Serious alternative to deep saltwater injection disposal wells, which permanently removes water from the hydrological cycle.

Heavily tested in extreme environments and highly variable feed waters from Canada’s oil sands to North Texas shale plays.

At full capacity (2,000 bbl/d), generates revenue of approximately $2.5 million/year.
