Ridgeline has been providing environmental consulting services to many of the major North American oil and gas producers for over a decade. Expanding our operations into the waste water treatment market came through listening to our clients concerns and need for a solution to their water-related issues. The solution, our electro-catalytic process, was facilitated by years of research and commitment.
 
Our technology is gaining broad recognition as a commercially effective solution for treating produced and flowback water from oil and gas shale hydraulic fracturing operations. This is an important step in our growth strategy, as research shows that the waste water market opportunity is quite sizable and underserved.
 
Currently, we are focused on the frac and produced water markets, as there is strong demand and a shorter sales cycle than some of the other potential markets. However, as the company progresses, we will apply our technology to what we see as substantial opportunities in the chemical flood, oil sands, and commercial and industrial waste water markets.
