Cleantek's strategy focuses on delivering innovative and cost-effective solutions that reduce the carbon intensity as well as the capital and operating costs of industrial operations. By focusing on expanding the market awareness and adoption of its sustainable lighting solutions and wastewater treatment assets, Cleantek expects to experience increased utilization of these high-margin product lines in the near-term. This, combined with the expansion of our ZeroE System portfolio of waste energy powered, wastewater treatment and vaporization units across industrial and infrastructure projects throughout North America and globally, is expected to lead to a sustainable increase in revenue and corresponding profitability as the Company's asset base grows over time.
The Company's near-term strategy will continue to focus on:
The Company is uniquely positioned with the prospect to capture expansion in both ZeroE wastewater vaporization and sustainable lighting markets. Cleantek expects that wastewater and vaporization opportunities in the oil and gas, municipal grey water, and industrial wastewater industries and a growing awareness regarding the disadvantages and risks of downhole injection will continue to increase the demand for Cleantek's ZeroE products.

Cleantek's revenue is generated primarily from the rental and service of sustainable lighting solutions, including HALO lighting systems and solar hybrid lighting towers, and ZeroE dehydration units, including mobile ZeroE dehydration units and a ZeroE production facility unit, based on fixed or agreed upon service contracts with its customers in the upstream and midstream segments of the energy industry as well as the commercial construction industry in western Canada and the United States.
Revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, increased to $3,125 and $6,272, respectively, compared to $1,945 and $4,402 for the same periods in 2021. General equipment utilization improved in 2022 compared to 2021 due to the recovery of market fundamentals in the energy sustainability sector as a result of strong commodity prices and an increase in drilling activities and rental rates. As a result, the Company's sustainable lighting solutions rental rates started to improve in the latter half of 2021 and into 2022 and equipment utilization, especially on the HALO products has also improved substantially. ZeroE dehydration revenue increased $154 and $175 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, compared to same periods in 2021, primarily due to increased mobile ZeroE dehydration revenue from the recovery in the market fundamentals and the expansion into the US market. Cleantek's operations in the first half 2021 were subject to the impacts of COVID-19 and a global oversupply of oil that caused a decline in commodity prices and drilling activity.
Direct operating expenses are comprised of direct operating costs, including salaries and wages and other labour costs; repairs and maintenance of equipment; transportation and mobilization costs of equipment to and from customers; and other direct operating expenses.
Direct operating expenses were $1,419 and $2,729 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, which increased compared to $1,023 and $2,051 for the same periods in 2021. Direct operating expenses increased in 2022 primarily as a result of increased equipment utilization and resulting revenue. The direct operating expenses as a percentage of revenue actually decreased in both the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 as a result of increased equipment utilization with minimal repair and maintenance expenses.
