H.E.A.T

What H.E.A.T does

H.E.A.T (Helios Environmental Advanced Technologies LLC) is a U.S.-based environmental solutions company that develops and deploys ultra-high-temperature thermal processing technologies for wastewater and solid waste remediation. The company was formed on October 1, 2021 via merger of Plasma Power LLC (founded 2010 by Jim Juranitch and Rich Tarrant), Advanced Petro Technologies LLC, CRU Engineering LLC, and the Yates Family's Helios Water Technologies LLC. H.E.A.T operates two core technology platforms: the Triton W-75, a high-temperature thermal distillation system that processes up to 7,500 barrels per day of produced water, flowback water, and desalination brine at up to 380,000 ppm total dissolved solids with a Zero Liquid Discharge (ZLD) capability; and Plasma Power, a plasma-assisted vitrification system that uses proprietary plasma torches combined with induction furnace and chamber systems operating at greater than 5,000°F (peaks of 28,000°F) to decompose solid waste into elemental components, vitrified materials, and metals for beneficial reuse, scalable from 5 to 500 tons per day.

The company's business model combines three revenue streams: (i) usage-based tolling fees at the company-owned Shaskas Produced Water Services facility in Montrose, Pennsylvania, where oil & gas producers pay per barrel processed with no customer capex; (ii) one-time equipment and engineering revenue from custom-engineered Triton W-75 sales and plasma plant design-build projects; and (iii) licensing royalties on plasma vitrification and gasification technology packages. Operations span Fort Lauderdale, FL (Technology Center), Houston, TX (oil & gas services office), Montrose, PA (Shaskas tolling facility), and Pompano Beach, FL (25,000 sq ft assembly plant). Customers are primarily E&P companies in the Marcellus and Utica shale basins, with additional vertical expansion signaled across desalination, mining, pulp & paper, waste management/landfills, and municipal e-waste. The intellectual property estate comprises 97 patent filings spanning 11 core inventions developed over 11 years of R&D.

Revenue model

1. Water Treatment Services (Tolling): Producers pay a nominal tolling fee based on the quantity of water barrels processed at the Shaskas facility. The company provides complete wastewater management services including treatment, processing, and beneficial reuse of recovered materials. This is a usage-based recurring revenue model tied to processing volume.
2. Plasma Plant Design, Build & Equipment Supply: Complete plant design and build services along with core plasma technology and required products supply. Revenue generated from engineering, construction, and equipment delivery for plasma processing facilities.
3. Technology Licensing & Process Systems: Efficient gasification processes and systems, reliable power conversion processes, and production processes for beneficial reuse byproducts offered as licensed technology packages.

Core offering

H.E.A.T provides environmental remediation solutions built on two proprietary ultra-high temperature technology platforms: the Triton W-75 thermal distillation system for treating produced water, flowback water, desalination brine, and other super-saturated liquid waste streams (up to 7,500 bbl/day per unit with Zero Liquid Discharge), and the Plasma Power plasma-assisted vitrification system for molecular-level decomposition of solid waste (5–500 tons/day at temperatures exceeding 5,000°F). The company delivers these capabilities via engineered system sales, technology licensing, and tolling services at its Shaskas facility in Pennsylvania.

Product overview

H.E.A.T offers two core environmental remediation technology platforms: Triton (water solutions) and Plasma Power (solids remediation solutions). Triton W-75 is a high-temperature thermal distillation system for wastewater treatment achieving zero liquid discharge, while Plasma Power provides plasma-assisted vitrification for solid waste processing. The company also operates the Shaskas Produced Water Services facility for produced water management in the Marcellus region. These technologies address PFAS elimination, desalination plant enhancement, and circular economy goals through molecular recycling.

Products and services

• Triton W-75 Water Treatment System High-temperature thermal evaporative/distillation water treatment system for pre-treated super-saturated produced water, flowback water, and desalination waste streams in oil & gas, desalination, agriculture, and mining applications. Provides 7,500 barrels per day (315,000 gallons/day) throughput per unit, handles up to 380,000 ppm Total Dissolved Solids, operates on natural gas or wellhead gas, and achieves Zero Liquid Discharge (ZLD), producing pure H2O and reclaiming minerals and salts as co-products.
• Plasma Power Vitrification System Plasma-assisted vitrification technology using next-generation plasma torches combined with proprietary induction furnace and chamber systems to decompose materials at ultra-high temperatures (greater than 5,000°F with peaks to 28,000°F) into gases, vitrified materials, and metals for beneficial reuse. Performs molecular recycling that breaks contaminants into elemental components, dismantles complex waste compounds into inert materials, eliminates VOCs and carcinogens, and vitrifies and encapsulates toxic metals in amorphous material. Modular systems scale from 5 to 500 tons per day.
• Shaskas Produced Water Services Tolling-based full-service wastewater treatment facility operated in partnership with C2G Energy Solutions in Montrose, northeast Pennsylvania, serving E&P companies in the Marcellus region with up to 7,500 barrels/day produced water processing capacity, 3 million gallons of on-site storage, RAD removal, mineral extraction, and waste upcycling. Producers pay a nominal tolling fee per barrel with no CapEx or OpEx required, eliminating dependence on surface storage, trucking, and saltwater disposal wells.
• Plasma Plant Design, Build & Equipment Supply Complete plasma processing plant solutions including engineering, construction, and supply of core plasma technology and required products for solid waste remediation facilities. Custom plants available with scalable modular designs (250 and 500 ton per day capacity options) including technology supply, integration, and operational support.
• Technology Licensing & Process Systems Licensed technology packages covering efficient gasification processes and systems, reliable power conversion processes, and production processes for beneficial reuse byproducts, enabling partners to deploy H.E.A.T's molecular recycling capabilities in their own facilities.
