Case Study #3

B2B Product Portfolio For Industrial Brine Treatment

Objectives.

The oil and gas industry produces 18 billion barrels of waste fluids annually—92% of it brine. From Pennsylvania to West Virginia, that's 16.5 billion barrels of corrosive, toxic water demanding a smarter solution.

Our client needed to show state regulators, refinery operators, and field engineers that their bioremediation solution wasn't another incremental additive—it was a complete rethink of brine and backflow management.

Our goal: position the technology as operations-first, compliance-safe, and cost-saving—cutting downtime, protecting assets, and reducing environmental risk in harsh industrial conditions.

Strategies.

The deck held four major focuses.

  1. Make data undeniable — Start national (18B barrels/year), zoom to tri-state violations and fines

  2. Show the mechanism — Match each product to measurable pain points: torque, viscosity, energy draw, downtime

  3. Handle objections preemptively — Contrast against legacy treatments (HPHT performance, 300°F+ stability, 80% viscosity reduction, <3% waste volume gain, 90% fewer fumes)

  4. Speak compliance fluently — Tie lab tested product advantages to recognized standards (EPA 1311, 9095 TCLP, DOT-exempt, landfill-approved)

By blending technical depth with policy relevance, the deck became a universal tool for regulators, refinery operators, and investors alike.

Outcomes.

The deck moved conversations forward across three audiences:

  • Sales reps gained framework to map products to clear KPIs (torque, viscosity, NPT, disposal cost)

  • Operators saw proof biological chemistry could outperform traditional systems in HPHT environments

  • Policy audiences recognized compliance and innovation could align

Client positioned as the team with science, data, and operational proof to solve brine as a systems problem—not just manage waste.
