But that extra step also carries a real operational cost. Here's the operational math behind that cost, and how EnviroTech's Water Saver line reduces it.

It's everything around it. Where does the railcar get loaded or unloaded? Who's got warehouse, tank or laydown space on short notice? What happens when your usual truck route hits a wall and you need a backup plan by Friday?

While this process has long been considered standard practice, it also increases water usage, extends treatment time, and creates additional demands on equipment and personnel.
