Houston, Texas (PRWEB) September 20, 2017Advantek Waste Management Services, a full-service waste management company which utilizes innovative slurry injection technology to dispose of contaminated solids and liquids in multiple industries, was named one of the 10 Most Promising Energy and Clean Technology Venture Companies at the 15th Annual Energy & Clean Technology Venture Forum, hosted by the Rice Alliance for Technology and Entrepreneurship. Advantek provides disposal of oilfield wastes including drilling mud, drill cuttings, produced water, tank bottoms, and flowback water through its oilfield vertical, and handles biosolids, sewage, as well as other organic wastes from municipal wastewater treatment plants through its GeoEnvironment Technologies subsidiary.

The award further confirms our strong belief that using our proprietary slurry injection technique, we will make landfilling obsolete for multiple classes of waste.

These companies have raised more than $3.1 billion in funding. This speaks to the quality of the companies and to the robust entrepreneurial ecosystem of investors that has been developed to support these companies. Despite the challenging economic environment over the past several years, good companies have been able to attract investors.”
