Heartland's Produced Water Management Service (PWMS) sets a new standard in efficient produced water management while helping our customers to champion environmental stewardship. By beneficially using waste heat and returning water to the environment through evaporation, we reduce transportation costs, mitigate environmental risk, and help to natavigate the changing regulatory environment. Heartland's PWMS embraces a sustainable future where responsible resource utilization and bottom-line performance go hand in hand.

Challenges in Produced Water Management

• Water Disposal Uncertainty: With an increase in regulatory scrutiny and seismicity concerns, SWD injection can no longer be the only solution.

• A number of factors are driving disposal costs higher in most North American basins

• Operationally, produced water management is outside the core skill set for many companies

• Capacity for reuse within the industry is limited and criteria for beneficial reuse outside of the industry is yet to be developed

• Increasing community pushback against traditional produced water disposal methods

PWMS Benefits

• Returns water to the hydrologic cycle without requiring surface discharge permits

• Beneficially uses waste heat without increasing carbon footprint

• Concentrates to a saturated brine, slurry, or solid in a single unit operation

• Processes the widest range of wastewater chemistries and variability

• Solutions for VOC and emissions controls

• No chemicals or pretreatment required in most cases

• Concentrate and solids may be further solidified using a proprietary process for landfill disposal that generally passes both USEPA TCLP and Paint Filter tests

Technology

Heartland Concentrator™

The Heartland Advantage

The Heartland Concentrator™ is a direct-contact evaporator where hot gases are mixed with wastewater in our proprietary Low Momentum—High Turbulence (LMHT®) process, processing the widest range of challenging wastewaters all the way to ZLD in a single-unit operation. There are no heat exchangers or membranes to foul or corrode, little-to-no pre-treatment required, and the Concentrator is exceedingly reliable with only two moving parts. The Heartland Concentrator™ effectively handles the wide-ranging water chemistries found in flowback water and produced water.
