The VOXTM system evaporates only the pure water. This customized, fit-for-purpose water evaporation solution is carefully calibrated to the specific needs of the pad to ensure no solids are produced. The VOX 4TM was specifically designed for the Appalachian Basin with an evaporation capacity of 150-200BPD per unit, which can be manifolded together for higher flowback volumes. The technology helps clients reduce their produced and flow back water volumes by 20-80 percent, depending on water chemistry, making it well suited for on-pad operations or installation at produced water storage and treatment and disposal facilities. EWS is currently designing a larger unit that will handle higher water volume basins such as the Permian.Outruns the Competition with Technical Edge Though there are several players that provide evaporative disposal technology, their setups are usually large, costly, and often cannot meet environmental regulations. Unlike its competitors, EWS took a different route and designed its dynamic VOXTM technology small, mobile, modular units that require minimal CAPEX investment and, by manifolding them together, still have the capacity to evaporate large flowback volumes. "Our technology has in fact exceeded both our own and our customers' expectations in terms of their capacity, energy efficiency, and reliability," adds Egert.EWS' VOXTM technology also solves a huge concern revolving around the use of evaporative technology -- emissions. Emissions generated by the VOXTM are so low that EWS does not need an air permit to operate in many states because it is considered de minimis. "We pride ourselves on being the only evaporation company that is permitted and operating in the Appalachian Basin," explains Egert. Last year, the company received a formal acceptance of its airborne emissions testing for its VOXTM technology from the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental protection. Furthermore, EWS helps customers achieve their ESG goals by taking trucks off the road and thereby reducing associated emissions and traffic and returning water to the water cycle via evaporation. "We're finding the best ways to recycle and put the water back into the water cycle itself, particularly in places like the west where water scarcity is a big deal," adds Egert. "We are also alleviating some of the heightened concerns around the increased seismicity of disposal wells by leveraging our novel VOXTM technology." A Collaborative Approach for an Efficient Future As a customer-first company, EWS assumes the responsibility of its clients' success by adopting a unique approach while collaborating with clients. A typical engagement begins with the team at EWS assessing the project's scope, alongside understanding the water's volume, chemistry, and forecast curve. The company then puts forward specific pricing and leaves it for the customer's decision. Once it gets the client's approval, EWS takes complete responsibility for the successful, safe, and reliable installation and operation of the VOXTM units. Post-implementation, it deploys a team of experts at the client's facility to provide them with its comprehensive suite of services. In addition, EWS goes the extra mile to provide clients with upfront permitting, engineering, operations support, and maintenance with minimal interference to ongoing operations at the well-site.With its out-of-the-box approach to problems, EWS stands atop the ladder with its invincible VOXTM. Having garnered countless acclaims from satisfied and happy clients, EWS plans to scale further by rolling out more VOXTM units and entering new basins and industries. Currently working in the Appalachian Basin, the company intends to deploy a larger VOXTM unit in other basins that can evaporate as much as 1,000 barrels of produced water a day, which is equivalent to the quantity of almost ten trucks and also be manifolded together for even large applications. Alongside, the company also aspires to implement its solutions in the power industry and at landfills for treated leachate water. "We have found opportunities for us beyond the scope of the upstream oil and gas space and intend to expand our footprint to other industries where our evaporative disposal technology can add value," concludes Egert. We are a leading water technology company that specializes in helping clients lower their water management costs in an Environmental, Social, and (Corporate) Governance (ESG) responsible manner
