June 13, 2012 - NEW FRAC WATER RECYCLING PLANT TO SIGNIFICANTLY REDUCE TRUCK MILES ON PENNSYLVANIA ROADS
CLARION, PA – Clarion Altela Environmental Services, LLC (CAES), a new frac water recycling facility along Interstate 80, Exit 62, in Piney Township, Clarion County, Pennsylvania is scheduled to open its doors to customers later this summer. At capacity, CAES will reduce truck traffic along Pennsylvania and Ohio roads by an estimated 150,000 truck miles per month.
“The CAES water recycling plant will fundamentally change the current paradigm of trucking frac water across Pennsylvania into Ohio,” said Altela CEO Ned Godshall. “Our plant is the environmentally sound solution to frac water treatment needs. Benefits include reduced wear and tear on our roads, lower carbon monoxide emissions generated by trucking, and less chance of traffic accidents and water spills.”
The AltelaRain® technology treats produced water to pure distilled water quality that exceeds Federal and State guidelines, and can be reused in the fracking process, thereby adding to earth’s natural hydrological cycle. This sustainable approach proves that the shale-gas industry does not solely have to minimize potential impacts to water resources, but in fact has the opportunity to beneficially reuse and expand water supplies. CAES will offer a complete suite of water recycling services for the E&P sector, while also providing an economical alternative to deep well injection in Ohio.
CAES is a joint venture between ACI Energy, Inc. (ACI), an investment holding company, and Altela, Inc. (Altela), a water desalination company. These two companies have partnered to recycle brackish oilfield and natural gas wastewater into clean distilled water that is the same quality as rainwater and can be recycled and reused by the oil and gas industry. The mission of CAES is to establish a centralized wastewater recycling facility for the treatment and re-use of Marcellus and Utica Shale frac flow back and produced water.

March 11, 2012 - WATER TREATMENT COMPANY IN MARCELLUS SHALE WELCOMES NEW VICE PRESIDENT
ALBUQUERQUE, NM– Altela, Inc., a company solving the environmental challenge of produced and frac flowback water for the oil & gas industry, welcomes Todd Hand as its new Vice President of Sales & Marketing.
Altela recycles frac water to a quality higher than state and federal standards require, and has been fully approved and permitted by the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (DEP). Altela’s solution significantly mitigates environmental problems associated with on-site reserve pits, leakage and spills associated with commercial trucking and use of evaporation ponds, as well as improper disposal and costly reinjection issues.
“Altela has begun to make a profound impact in the Marcellus and Utica basin and other shale-oil and shale-gas basins. The E&P industry desperately needs a solution that purifies brackish E&P water at a low cost, at the same time reducing the number of water-hauling trucks on our roads,” said Altela CEO Ned Godshall. “The rapid growth of hydraulic fracturing requires a commensurate water re-use solution that is sustainable. Todd brings to Altela valuable prior experience integrating sustainable energy solutions for customers. In addition, he has a real appreciation for the local communities in the Marcellus as a Penn State graduate and having grown up in Southwestern Pennsylvania.”
Especially by teaming with landfills and co-generation power plants, Altela’s unique products enable the fracking industry to surpass just minimizing its impact on local water resources, but instead expand water supplies through re-use, after the low-cost Altela process removes all salt and other constituents from E&P water.
As Altela increases the number of operating plants beyond its current two PA locations under construction in Clarion and McKean Counties, Todd is responsible for rolling out a “one stop solution” for all of the shale-gas industry’s disposal needs. Each location offers Certified Frac Flowback water services to E&P customers. Altela plans to expand into additional liquids-rich shale-gas plays this year.
Altela, Inc. manufactures and services water treatment systems for the oil & gas industry based on a fundamentally different water recycling solution inspired by nature itself. Through the use of its proprietary, patented AltelaRain® technology, Altela desalinates and decontaminates highly challenged water without the energy intensive equipment, pressure or high temperatures of other water desalination technologies – representing the first new low cost water desalination technology in the last 50 years. By removing all contaminants from E&P waste water and brackish water, Altela converts these contaminated water liabilities into clean water assets, thereby removing our customer’s environmental liability and high treatment and disposal costs. The company has assembled a strong intellectual property position, experienced management team, and strategic partners. Altela turns waste into water, naturally. http://www.altelainc.com

June 20, 2011 - ALTELA PREPARING TO MEET DEMAND FROM WASTEWATER DISPOSAL CHALLENGE
Williamsport, PA - In the wake of the announcement last month from Pennsylvania's regulators that companies drilling in the Marcellus Shale are no longer taking "frac water" with chemicals to riverside treatment plants that do not remove salts and other contaminants, Altela Inc. has started negotiations with drilling companies and water treatment companies to provide technology to clean the water to state standards.
"Our phone has been ringing off the hook," said Altela CEO Ned Godshall. "The drilling companies and water treatment facilities are actively seeking the right technology to treat the water to state standards, and we can provide that solution to them."
Altela's technology has been given the seal of approval for state water standards by the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) and the Department of Energy's National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL). The PA DEP has verified that Altela's system is capable of meeting the new stricter Chapter 95 regulations, and NETL's demonstration project report stated that an Altela project completed last year turned drilling frac water at a western PA gas well into usable water with TDS levels that exceeded state standards.
Altela has just completed its first plant installation at a Williamsport PA location, with capacity for over 100,000 gallons of treated water per day, but many other locations are now being negotiated within Pennsylvania.
"The interest is overwhelming from people who want to maintain the natural gas drilling in the Marcellus Shale," said Godshall. "We are talking to those who want to use this new technology to continue natural gas drilling in a way that does not put untreated frac flow-back and produced water into the river with possible harmful results."

MAY 3, 2011 - ALTELA TECHNOLOGY DEMONSTRATED TO BE SOLUTION TO MAY 19TH FRAC WASTEWATER DISPOSAL DEADLINE
WILLIAMSPORT, PA – As natural gas producers and public water companies race to meet the May 19th deadline to stop releasing diluted hydrofracking water contaminated with bromide and radioactive material from shale gas extraction into the state’s rivers, one company has stepped forward with a technology validated by the PA Department of Environmental Protection (PA DEP) and the U.S. Department of Energy (US DOE) that treats the water and meets the new regulations for clean water discharge.
Altela, Inc., a water purification company now co-operating a plant in Williamsport owned by Clean Streams LLC, has set up AltelaRain® 600 modules to receive water after the PA DEP asked for a voluntary stoppage of ineffective water treatment around the state. Its first plant processes 100,000 gallons a day of frac flowback water and produced water, and many more plants are being planned around the state to treat wastewater from the thousands of natural gas wells in the state.
“Altela is the solution to the May 19th challenge,” said Ned Godshall, CEO of Altela. “Our product removes the salts, bromide, benzene, and radioactive material in the water, so it can then be reused for the next frac job or put back in the river with absolutely no human health risk. We provide the municipal treatment authorities with a tool that removes all the salts and contaminants, which their normal equipment cannot do.”
