"With opportunity comes the need for environmental stewardship.  Drilling in the Marcellus Shale can present tremendous growth potential for businesses in western Pennsylvania, but it also brings environmental challenges that business leaders need to be aware of and prepared for in order to be successful," said Grottenthaler.  "Kroff is positioned to help oil and gas companies continue to meet environmental regulations in terms of production water and flowback remediation.  I'm looking forward to sharing my knowledge about Marcellus Shale with the CEO Alliance group."

Grottenthaler has three decades of experience in water and wastewater treatment for a variety of industries and now focuses his efforts on frac fluid designs and water remediation for reuse in the oil and gas industry.  His knowledge of fluid design formulation and water treatment quality for safe and effective reuse of frac water provides a dual perspective from both sides of critical water issues.

Grottenthaler has invented frac fluid design chemistries, which offer environmental and effective approaches to the shale gas extraction process. These chemicals are patented and have received national and international awards.
