The AVARA System will treat produced water from oil and gas operations in the Manville Sandstones of Southern Saskatchewan.

Purestream’s AVARA System was developed in partnership with Utah State University’s Energy and Space Dynamics Labs.

It cleans and recycles wastewater using an accelerated vapor recompression process which removes harmful contaminants and renders it cleaner than drinking water.

In November 2011, Purestream signed a commercial contract with Whiting Petroleum to recycle water from its Bakken operations in North Dakota.

Purestream CEO Neil Richardson said the AVARA technology is uniquely capable of helping producers across Canada meet increasingly stringent environmental requirements.

Purestream offers a suite of patented environmental solutions focused on the treatment of wastewater, air emissions, renewable energy and data tracking.
