Dealing with the large volume of production water co-produced with oil & gas is a large problem that is getting bigger. Industry needs alternatives to reduce injected disposal volumes and seismicity; the ecovap natural evaporation tower solution reduces the volumes at the wellhead.

INTRODUCTION TO THE SOLUTION III
ECOVAP Inc. is a diversified wastewater disposal company that offers a
suite of solutions and services solving the dilemma of disposal
uncertainty in exploration settings:
Ø Proprietary patent-pending low-energy technology that evaporates
water 59 times faster than mother nature alone in a footprint 30x
less than conventional evaporation ponds
Ø Modular tower system that can be installed at a central pad or at
the well site, significantly lowering the number of trucks required
to reach other disposal options
Ø Applicable to any industry with wastewater disposal challenges in
need of rapid water evaporation:
Ø Oil & Gas produced water
Ø Brine concentration for mineral recovery (e.g. lithium)
Ø Mine tailing ponds
Ø Remediation
Solves the demanding land requirements of evaporation ponds, the
demanding investment requirements of pipelines, AND
the impending limitations to injection wells
23. 23
UNIQUE DESIGN MAXIMIZES SURFACE EVAPORATION
HOW IT WORKS:
Ø HDPE panels with airfoil design create hundreds of saturated vertical
water columns that hold water in suspension
Ø Complete tower saturation reached in minutes using a low-energy
recirculating pump
Ø Higher available surface area enhances solar- and wind-driven
evaporation via convection, i.e. requires no additional power
III
INDEPENDENT ENGINEERING REVIEW:
} Potential results: “ECOVAP’s technology may be
over 60 times higher than the rate provided by
the conventional surface water evaporation
approach.”
} Actual field test results: “For the entire test
duration, daily water meter data indicate that the
Evaporation Tower is 59 times more efficient in
evaporating water than the approach relying on
the surface water evaporation only.”
24. 24
SIMPLE CONSTRUCTION AT THE WELL SITE III
ON-SITE EXAMPLE: 400 BWPD WELL
Ø Portable, reusable, self-cleaning
panels designed to be erected in
cubes with rubber mallets by
small team in ≤10 days and
maintained by one person
periodically
Ø Concentrated brine and solids in catchment basin
transported to SWD injection facility and/or oilfield landfill
collection centers by standard water-hauler or vac trucks
only as necessary
Ø Modular towers can be built and
installed by existing ponds, well
sites, or pads without
foundation, concrete pad, or
exterior supports
25. 25
REDUCES SOCIAL & ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS III
LESS LAND CONSUMED/DISTURBED:
• Tower is 30x reduction in footprint from conventional 23 acre pond
FEWER TRUCK TRIPS:
• 40 - 97% produced water volume reduction on-site = fewer haul trips
LESS WATER INJECTED:
• 40 - 97% less water volume transported to SWD well
• Reduction in stress to formations that cause seismicity
NO ADDITIONAL AIR EMISSIONS:
• Same or lower VOC emissions from oil recovery than current practice
• Reduction in trucking reduces greenhouse gas emissions from the tailpipe
LESS RISK OF HAZARDOUS WASTE
EVENTS:
• Eliminates potential leaks from
pipelines
• Reduces groundwater mixing /
pollution
• Reduces potential for trucking

SWD COST RECOVERY COMPARISONS III
Typical Trucking + SWD Disposal Costs **
* ECOVAP base capital and operating cost recovery for 20 well 8,200 bwpd system (i.e. includes capital recovery fee @ 20%, fixed, variable, and downtown costs). Cost projections are based on historical average
formation water salinities and pan evaporation rates where representative data is available. Actual performance may vary.
** Transport costs can exceed $7/bbl in some exploration areas; e.g. Marcellus – Utica & Williston Basin
*** H2O Midstream base capital and operating cost recovery ranges for 98,000 bwpd system (includes capital recovery fee @ 20%, fixed, variable, and downtown costs). Adapted from H2O Midstream Presentation,
Permian Basin Water In Energy Conference (Feb 22, 2018).
• Significantly less than
