Produced water treatment
Volume reduction & disposal certainty
Produced water volumes are rising across North American basins, while disposal pathways are becoming more constrained and expensive. Injection capacity is tightening. Transportation costs are increasing. Regulatory pressure continues to evolve.
Heartland provides a different path – volume reduction using thermal evaporation powered by available waste heat. Our systems reduce disposal dependency, lower operating costs, and create flexibility in how water is managed across the field.
-
Constrained disposal capacity
Reduce reliance on injection wells and relieve pressure on existing infrastructure. -
Rising transportation costs
Minimize hauling volumes and associated logistics risk. -
Stranded energy utilization
Convert flare gas or waste heat into productive use—lowering cost per barrel treated. -
Operational flexibility
Deploy quickly, scale as needed, and adapt to changing production profiles. -
Water management strategy
Support reuse, recycling, or centralized treatment approaches across assets. -
Regulatory and ESG pressure
Stay ahead of evolving regulations while reducing emissions and environmental impact.

Direct-contact evaporation
The Heartland Concentrator uses a direct-contact thermal evaporation process to reduce produced water volumes without the fouling and scaling challenges of conventional systems.
What makes it different:
- No heat exchangers for reduced fouling and maintenance
- Handles high TDS and variability typical of produced water
- Uses waste heat (flare gas, engine exhaust) to lower operating cost
- Enclosed process with controlled discharge
- Built for reliability in real-world oil & gas environments
The result is a rugged, field-proven system that turns produced water from a disposal challenge into a manageable, predictable part of operations.
