Introducing the
AltelaRain® 750
Product Description:
The AltelaRain® 750 is a revolutionary modular-based water desalination system that excels at treating highly challenged wastewater. Each Module consists of 12 AltelaRain® Towers, 1 center chase that contains all the water, air and steam piping to and from the 12 towers, along with the required controls, steam boiler and pumps.
The Module treats approximately 25,000 gallons per day, the equivalent of 600 barrels per day. The AltelaRain® 750 concentrates incoming water to 20% or less of original volume delivered by the customer (eliminating 4 out of 5 disposal trucks), and at the same time returns ~55% of the original volume back to the customer as clean distilled water. Customized solutions are available in 50 barrel per day increments.
Benefits include:
Low capital requirements
Low operating cost
Precise control of economics
Reduced facilities requirement: tent or existing building
Infinitely scalable: connect multiple Modules together for right-sized capacity
Low maintenance: no high-pressure systems, no metal to foul or scale, no membranes to replace
Extremely high quality of treated water

What is the timeline for receiving my Module(s)?
Upon completion and execution of Altela’s standard Sales and Services Agreement, a Module can be delivered within 60 days following receipt of the deposit, with each follow-up Module being shipped every 30 days thereafter.
Who do I contact to start the permitting process?
Altela has a nationally recognized regulatory permitting and compliance division that has repeatedly acquired ‘first-ever’ produced water and frac water treatment, site, and discharge permits. Altela welcomes the opportunity to review the project’s environmental permitting requirements and is able to assist the customer in acquiring the necessary regulatory approvals and associated re-use and recycling framework.
Such Altela services are quoted on an individual project basis.
Q&AWhat’s new?
Altela has developed the world’s first multiple effect distillation technology that does not require pressure. With removal of the pressure requirements, through the use of plastics, dramatic energy and cap-ex benefits can be realized.
What energy drives the process?
The AltelaRain® technology operates at low temperatures similar to nature’s process for making rain and therefore can utilize low grade waste heat, natural gas or solar.
How much energy is required?
Altela uses approximately 0.2 MCF of natural gas per barrel of water treated and approximately 1.0 kWh per barrel of water treated.
What is the efficiency?
The Module can reduce effluent disposal volumes by as much as 90%.
What is the quality of the treated water?
Independent water quality tests confirm that the treated water is distilled water quality historically well below 250 ppm TDS. Each Module produces ~400 BPD of useable clean water that may be delivered back to the customer.
How long does it take to receive my order?
Current orders are being delivered within 60 days from receipt of down-payment.
Can it be custom manufactured?
The AltelaRain® technology is scalable and can be produced in customizable configurations to fit individual project needs in 2,100 gallons per day, 50 barrel per day, increments.
What maintenance is required?
Each Module requires ~5 hours per week in routine maintenance. Use of plastic minimizes or eliminates many traditional maintenance issues directly related to scaling, fouling or corrosion.
Where does the reject stream go?
Altela’s concentrate stream retains its RCRA exemption and is disposed of in UIC reinjection or alternate approved commercial disposal facilities.
