Disposal dependence
Hauling and injection can hide treatment gaps until capacity or cost tightens.
Produced-water polishing · Permian Basin
Prove what works
before you scale.
GELTTECH is developing a modular magnetic-separation pathway for operators and water handlers who need a practical polishing step for hydrocarbons in produced water.
A 30-minute technical screen. No sales theater. If the stream is not a fit, we will say so early.

Reported bench results under tested conditions—not a general field performance claim. Field validation remains the next gate.
01 · The operating problem
Produced water changes.
Your treatment still has to hold.
The commercial problem is not simply removing oil in a controlled test. It is maintaining a useful outlet when chemistry, solids, droplets and flow change—without creating a new reliability burden.
“We need a polishing step that can survive changing water without becoming another operating headache.”Representative operating need—not a customer quotation
Chemical burden
More chemistry can mean more handling, sludge and variable performance.
Unproven economics
Removal efficiency alone does not establish a deployable business case.
02 · Evidence, bounded honestly
What we know.
What we are testing next.
Long-term credibility matters more than short-term narrative. We separate reported bench evidence from the claims a field pilot still needs to earn.
Reported
Hydrocarbon reduction
50–150 mg/L to below 10 mg/L within minutes under tested bench conditions.
Next gate
Independent analytical confirmation
Outlet HEM ≤10 mg/L by EPA 1664A on representative real produced water.
Next gate
Operational durability
P95 performance, throughput, uptime, media recovery and reuse through 20 cycles.
Boundary
No broad metals claim
Metals capture and selectivity remain a hypothesis until validated by mass balance.
03 · A low-risk path to field evidence
One stream. One scoreboard.
A clear decision.
The entry pilot is designed to sit beside existing operations, measure a defined stream, and stop early if the technical or economic signal is weak.
- 01Technical screen
Water type, volume, current handling, pain point and no-go constraints.
- 02Sample protocol
Representative water, preservation, confidentiality and analytical baseline.
- 03Bench validation
Dose, kinetics, outlet quality, recovery, residuals and initial mass balance.
- 04Bypassable pilot
24 m³/day entry scale, roughly two parking spaces, with agreed operating boundaries.
- 05Scale or stop
Joint technical and economic review before any larger deployment commitment.

04 · Built for disciplined deployment
Water. Reimagined.
GELTTECH is a U.S. water-technology company advancing selective magnetic separation from bench evidence toward field validation.
Start with the operator’s stream, constraint and economic owner.
Measure chemistry, mass, time, throughput and cost—not adjectives.
Use modular pilots and specialist partners before building permanent overhead.

The next useful conversation
Is there a produced-water stream worth testing?
Bring the volume, inlet condition, current treatment path and the operating outcome that matters. We will help determine whether a sample review or pilot makes sense.
