Understanding and Addressing our Clients’ Unmet NeedsThe Alberta Oil Sands region is an exciting area for O&G exploration. Due to the use of steam to maximize the recovery of oil, there is a significant need to recycle water through evaporation. Such recycling plants are large and complex. Furthermore, the remote locations and weather involved demand exorbitant installation costs. Aquatech developed SmartMOD™ to address these challenges. It is a completely modular system that maximizes the pre-assembly of the plant while also reducing civil foundation loads. In addition, the client receives a system with more operational flexibility. • Increased redundancy• Complete modularity• Reduced total installed cost by up to 30%SmartMOD®Aquatech International CorporationOne Four Coins DriveCanonsburg, Pennsylvania 15317 U.S.A.+1-724-746-5300 aic@aquatech.com www.aquatech.com“Aquatech’s unique spread of experience is unmatched by any other water treatment specialist.
