Water scarcity and emissions reduction are two of the most pressing challenges facing Alberta’s oil and gas sector. With severe drought conditions threatening agricultural and industrial water supplies, the need for innovative solutions has never been greater.
Join us for an insightful panel discussion featuring Justin Reimer, CEO of Emissions Reduction Alberta,  experts from Aqua Pure Technologies (APT) and Artis Exploration, as they unveil the PROH2O® Technology—a groundbreaking system that eliminates 99.9% of contaminants from fracking water, enabling large-scale recycling and reducing environmental impact.
This session will delve into the recently launched Three Hills, Alberta pilot project, designed to recycle 460,000 m³ of fracking water annually. By minimizing freshwater consumption and lowering CO₂ emissions by 388,800 kg, this initiative demonstrates how cutting-edge water treatment technologies can drive sustainability while improving operational efficiency.
Key Takeaways:
• How PROH2O® technology works and its impact on water conservation  
•  The environmental and economic benefits of fracking water recycling
•  The impactful opportunities Emissions Reduction Alberta is providing for industry
• Insights from real-world water treatment trials and OPEX modeling
• The future of sustainable resource management in Alberta 
Whether you're an energy professional, sustainability leader, or policymaker, this session will provide critical insights into how water recycling can help shape a more responsible and efficient oil and gas industry.
