Cavitation Technologies to Resume Produced Water Treatment Operations

Rhea-AI Summary

Cavitation Technologies, Inc. (CVAT) has resumed operations in the Permian Basin, treating produced water from fracking. Following the pandemic and oil price declines, demand for its water treatment technology is increasing as production reopens. The company’s first customer is using stationary infrastructure for 7,500 barrels per day (BPD), with plans for a mobile unit capable of 12,000-15,000 BPD. Management estimates each 10,000 BPD will generate $150,000 in annual free cash flow. The company is also advancing its food processing technology, generating revenue from both sectors.

Positive

• Resumed operations in the profitable Permian Basin.

CHATSWORTH, CA, Feb. 01, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- via NewMediaWire -- Cavitation Technologies, Inc. (OTCQB: CVAT) (BERLIN: WTC) announced that in Mid-January the Company reopened its operations in the Permian Basin treating produced water from fracking operations in the basin.  

In collaboration with its water services partner, Cavitation Technologies (CTI) deployed its first cavitation reactor in the Permian Basin in early 2020. However, subsequent dramatic declines in oil prices coupled with the onset of the Covid19 pandemic, led to drastic reductions in Permian production and as a result, demand for the Company’s innovative frack-water mitigation technology. As a result of improving oil prices, production in the Permian Basin is returning, which has led to increased demand for CTI’s clean water technology.

Regarding the recent restart in the region, the Company notes that its first returning customer is utilizing the initial stationary infrastructure that manages a flow of approximately 7,500 barrels per day (“BPD”). However, they are also preparing to deploy their first mobile water treatment unit, which is being deployed the first week of February.  Along with their mobile advantages, these water treatment units also support greater throughput capacity of 12,000-15,000 BPD. Cavitation is in the process of building its second mobile water treatment system utilizing the most recent inventions and expects operations in early March.  The Company believes it can quickly build and deploy additional units as demand dictates. As a point of reference, management anticipates that each 10,000 BPD of processing should result in approximately $150,000 worth of annual free cash flow to Cavitation, although actual results will depend on subsequent demand and associated pricing for their technology.

On other fronts, the Company continues to develop its technology to address both their legacy food processing business, as well as its emerging water treatment business. As of the aforementioned restart in Texas, they are now generating revenues from each. More specifically, they continue to pursue new opportunities in the vegetable oil and food processing industry with their new Low Pressure Nano Reactor (“LPN”) technology and they believe those efforts will be additive to the business in the future.
