Intevras, which provides treatment, filtration, handling and evaporative crystallization and disposal of industrial wastewaters, has recently used its two primary technologies, the Evras Evaporative System and the Integra Automated Disk Filtration System, for the treatment and disposal of heavy brine waters in the Barnett and Marcellus Shales positions.
The Integra filter, which provides solids separation to the five micron particle size, and the Evras technology, that allows mobile evaporative reduction, concentration and solidification of industrial waste streams are suitable for application to shale gas water treatment and also food and beverage and municipal applications dealing with re-use and waste minimization.
Layne Christensen has acquired Intevras to expand its water treatment offerings and residuals management capabilities, the company said.
Thomas Lucario, CEO of Intevras, said: “This is an exciting time for all of us at Intevras. With James J. Harris, the founder and inventor of our technology, I look forward to being part of the Layne Christensen family. The resources, experience and customer base that Layne provides will help us expand our market base not only in the oil and gas industry but in other industries as well.”
