ALTELARAIN®SYSTEM ARS-4000The AltelaRain®SystemARS-4000 provides amobile, fully integratedwater desalination/decontamination solution to clean previouslyuntreatable producedwater. Unique to theARS-4000 is its abilityto treat the produced and frac water on-site, adjacent to eachwell-head, irrespective of varying water quality prevalentthroughout the industry. Each ARS-4000 is contained in a standard 45' shipping container. The system treats 4,000 gallons perday GPD (100 BPD) of produced water. Following treatment,the clean water meets surface discharge standards and can alsobe used by the producer, thereby reducing freshwater demand atthe well-site. Up to 90% of all disposal costs - 9 out of every 10water-hauling truckloads - are eliminated on-site at the wellhead with the AltelaRain®System ARS-4000.ALTELARAIN®SYSTEM HIGHLIGHTS INCLUDE:•Extremely high quality of treated water;less than 500 ppm TDS•No pressure vessels; extremely safe•Dramatically reduces water hauling/trucking costs•Low relative cost•High energy efficiency•Unattended operation•No fouling or scaling•No membranes to replace•Extremely safe operation at ambient pressureand low temperature•Productive use of “free” waste heat or solar energy•No pre- or post-treatment required•Easily sized to location’s need•Ability to operate in diverse geographies•Service business model; no customer capital requiredAn exciting new technology toclean produced and frac waterat the well-site.

# www.altelainc.comOIL AND GAS INDUSTRYAltelaRain®SystemARS-4000A NEW SOLUTION FOR AN OLD PROBLEMThe AltelaRain®Systemallows highly challengedproduced and frac waterto be economically treatedand cleaned on-site, cantreat concentrated brineregardless of total dissolved solids (TDS) concentration, and can bescaled according to treatment demand. This removes thecustomer’s high disposal costs and environmental liability by the present oilfield methods.HIGH PERFORMANCE STANDARDSOil and gas operators demand 24-hour-a-day, 7-day-aweek performance from their wells, and any equipmentassociated with well operation must meet this performance standard. Altela’s systems are designed to be operated unattended on a continuous basis in the harsh oiland gas field environmental conditions and require minimal maintenance.ALTELA IS DOING THIS,TODAY.....AND IT WORKS!!Particularly, in the burgeoning Marcellus, Altela hasreceived PA Department ofEnvironmental Protectionapproval to deploy and treat frac flow back and relatedproduced water. The first system is successfully treatinghighly challenged frac flow back water to distilled water standards. AltelaRain®Systems have now successfully treated produced and frac water at multiple commercial sites including the Marcellus Shale of Pennsylvania, Piceance Gas Basin of Colorado, San Juan Basinof New Mexico, and Western Canada.THE TECHNOLOGY: TREATING WATER NATURALLYThe basic Altela technology is a simple and elegantprocess based on thermal distillation, which desalinatesand decontaminates salty and polluted water in a fundamentally different way than the more familiar reverseosmosis (RO) and other membrane-based desalinationtechnologies. In simple terms, the technology mimicsnature's process of making pure rain water from seawater. What positions it as the first, truly new and disruptive water desalination/decontamination technologyin over 50 years, however, isa scientifically complex,but inexpensively implemented, internal heat transferprocess that re-uses the heat of condensation over andover again.Altela’s process makes 3gallons of clean water fromthe heat energy that wouldusually only make 1 gallon –through 300% energy-re-use– thus making Altela both aclean-tech energy and watertechnology company.MAKING WATER FROM WASTEThe AltelaRain®System operates on low-grade wasteheat or waste well-head gas, free in many locations,further lowering Altela’s operating costs relative tocompeting high-pressure, high-electricity-cost technologies such as RO and mechanical vacuum compression.The system is robust: using no pressure, high temperatures, filters, or membranes – allowing it to be manufactured from inexpensive plastics rather than exotic andexpensive metals.Through Altela’s professional services division, the company has successfully acquired precedent-setting environmental permits to discharge cleaned water (for irrigation, livestock use, aquifer recharge and in-stream waterright flows) – and provide it back to the customer forfrac and other well completion needs. These permitsinclude EPA-based approval by the State of CO to discharge treated, clean water into the Colorado River;approval for beneficial re-use oftreated, clean water in the PiceanceBasin; the first-ever approval inNew Mexico to surface dischargetreated, clean water for re-use; thefirst-ever EPA-based approval for acentralized waste treatment facilityto treat produced water for instream flow and aquifer rechargethrough the publically owned treatment works (POTW); and the firstever Navajo Nation environmental permit to surface discharge treated, clean waterfor the benefit of districtgrazing communities in northwestern New Mexico, saving the people in the region from having to travel hundreds of miles for clean water.WE GROW WITH YOU, TREATING HIGHER VOLUMESNot only is our AltelaRain®System available today, butAltela’s proven core technology enables us to buildscalable, dedicated plants that can grow along with yourincreasing treatment needs.Let us help you convert contaminated water liabilitiesinto clean water assets.
