Produced-water polishing · Field validation

Prove what works
before you scale.

GELTTECH is developing a modular magnetic-separation polishing stage for operators and water handlers who need a practical polishing step for hydrocarbons in produced water. The objective is measurable water-quality improvement that can strengthen operational resilience and resource efficiency.

A 30-minute technical screen. No sales theater. If the stream is not a fit, we will say so early.

01 · The operating problem

Produced water changes. Your treatment still has to hold.

The commercial problem is not simply removing oil in a controlled test. It is maintaining a useful outlet when chemistry, solids, droplets and flow change—without creating a new reliability burden.

“We need a polishing step that can survive changing water without becoming another operating headache.”Representative operating need—not a customer quotation
01

Disposal dependence

Hauling and injection can hide treatment gaps until capacity or cost tightens.

02

Chemical burden

More chemistry can mean more handling, sludge and variable performance.

03

Unproven economics

Removal efficiency alone does not establish a deployable business case.

02 · Evidence, bounded honestly

What we know. What we are testing next.

Long-term credibility matters more than short-term narrative. We separate reported bench evidence from the claims a field pilot still needs to earn.

Reported
Hydrocarbon reduction

50–150 mg/L to below 10 mg/L within minutes under tested bench conditions.

Next gate
Independent analytical confirmation

Outlet HEM ≤10 mg/L by EPA 1664A on representative real produced water.

Next gate
Operational durability

P95 performance, throughput, uptime, media recovery and reuse through 20 cycles.

Next gate
Responsible deployment

Residual media and carryover, downstream compatibility, waste generation and defined safety boundaries.

Next gate
Decision-grade economics

Media dose, energy, chemicals, maintenance, waste and disposal—balanced against reuse and recovered value.

Boundary
No broad metals claim

Metals capture and selectivity remain a hypothesis until validated by mass balance.

03 · Evidence and responsible deployment

Measure what changes. Report what holds.

A GELTTECH pilot is built around the operator’s decision: water quality, reliability, downstream compatibility and full-cycle economics. Verified outcomes can then support environmental-risk, water-stewardship and ESG reporting.

Environmental evidence

Measure the change

Baseline and outlet quality, contaminant-load reduction, resource intensity, waste streams and reuse potential.

Governance evidence

Make it defensible

Independent methods, chain of custody, P50/P95 results, mass-balance closure, decision gates and disclosed limitations.

ESG + SDG 6

Report only what is earned

Where measured results support it, pilot data may evidence progress on water resilience and SDG 6.3: improved water quality, recycling and safer reuse.

Treatment performance alone does not establish a community benefit. Social outcomes depend on the site, water destination, exposure pathway and affected stakeholders.

04 · A low-risk path to field evidence

One stream. One scoreboard.
A clear decision.

The entry pilot is designed to sit beside existing operations, measure a defined stream, and stop early if the technical or economic signal is weak.

    Technical screen

    Water type, volume, current handling, pain point and no-go constraints.

  2. 02
    Sample protocol

    Representative water, preservation, confidentiality and analytical baseline.

  3. 03
    Bench validation

    Dose, kinetics, outlet quality, recovery, residuals and initial mass balance.

  4. 04
    Bypassable pilot

    24 m³/day entry scale, roughly two parking spaces, with agreed operating boundaries.

  5. 05
    Scale or stop

    Joint technical and economic review before any larger deployment commitment.

05 · Built for disciplined deployment

Water. Reimagined.

GELTTECH is a U.S. water-technology company advancing selective magnetic separation from bench evidence toward field validation.

Love the problem

Start with the operator’s stream, constraint and economic owner.

Work from first principles

Measure chemistry, mass, time, throughput and cost—not adjectives.

Stay lean

Use modular pilots and specialist partners before building permanent overhead.

The next useful conversation

Is there a produced-water stream worth testing?

Bring the volume, inlet condition, current treatment path and the operating outcome that matters. We will help determine whether a sample review or pilot makes sense.
