When salt water bubbles up in Oklahoma killing farmers crops, everyone takes notice. ECOVAP provides an environmentally safe alternative to Salt Water Injection Wells, thus alleviating SWD leaks, contamination, and seismicity concerns.

While disposal metheds have been severly limited in the past, ECOVAP has drastically shifted the tide of disposal constraints the natural way. ECOVAP’s technology is able to serve the water back up to mother natures perfect cleaning care and is a critical piece in the solution needed to prevent farmers crops from dying on the vine.
