Omni Water Solutions, based in Austin, Texas, develops and deploys automated mobile water treatment platforms for water treatment and re-use. Its flagship HIPPO® product uses the company's patent-pending Octozone™ automation technology to provide real-time sense-and-respond control enabling oil and gas operators to treat and re-use produced water. After treatment through the platform, water can be re-used in subsequent wells instead of being lost to disposal. The company is led by CEO Warren Sumner and intends to use the newly raised funds to expand the reach of its HIPPO product. Omni secured $4m in equity financing in a round led by Austin Ventures. As part of the financing, Marc Rowland joined the company's board of directors. Omni Water Solutions builds mobile water treatment platforms that enable treatment and re-use of contaminated water, particularly for industrial users. The company developed a patent-pending Octozone™ system with real-time sense-and-respond automation to treat high-volume, contaminated water supplies. Its mobile platforms can treat water to the level required by the user and deliver consistent water quality despite rapid variations in contaminant levels. Founded in 2010 and led by CEO Warren Sumner, Omni targets oil and gas operations where treated water can be re-used instead of disposed. The company plans to deploy its HIPPO™ treatment units to support those oil and gas applications.
