STW Resources Holding Corp has scored an exclusive licensing agreement for the United States to deploy Netherlands-based Salttech's advanced, green technology water desalination processing technology.

STW said Salttech's DyVaR process is the next generation of sustainable "green technology" for water processing. It does not use chemicals and is a zero liquid discharge process. Through this agreement, Salttech will take advantage of STW's long-standing oil industry relationships and existing oilfield services business.

STW said it is now the exclusive licensed technology integrator and manufacturer in the United States to deploy Salttech's proven desalination process. The Salttech technology allows STW to process any type of salt water on an economical basis.

STW CEO Stanley Weiner said the STW/Salttech teams are currently working with oil producers to reclaim produced and frac flowback water for reuse in drilling and fracking operations, preserving fresh water resources. Additionally the companies are providing clean drinking water for "man-camps" in the oilfields. He added that STW is now working with several municipalities to provide fresh drinking water from brackish water sources.

He noted that STW is in the final stages of contracting multiple cities and companies to deploy Salttech's environmentally conscious technology.

Weiner said that Salttech's proprietary technology is recognized as a groundbreaking technology for treatment of saline liquids leading to high capacity treatment systems and zero liquid discharge solutions for a wide variety of applications. Its technology does not use chemicals or membranes and operates at minimum cost with maximum efficiency producing customer specific products out of saline waste or process streams. No pretreatment, 24/7 operation and full automation allow remote operation without intensive operator attention.

Salttech's technology is based on nature itself, combining multiple natural phenomena into one technology thus creating systems that fit a wide variety of applications. Its versatility and ease of operation allow desalination, hardness removal AND Zero Liquid Discharge all in one system.

Weiner said, "We have been searching for a technology like this for years. We will finally be able to offer an economically feasible solution to the major need for desalination for not only the oil and gas industry but also municipalities and other industrial uses. The technology also allows us to process seawater without the need to discharge large amounts of salt concentrate back into our oceans. Needless to say, I am overly pleased to introduce Salttech to the U.S."

Gerard Schouten, CEO of Salttech, said, "We have proven the efficiency of our technology, both technically and economically, in various industries in Europe and now are ready to enter the huge U.S market with STW as technology integrator and Partner."
