Evaporation

Stage 06 · The zero-discharge answer

For the toughest waste streams, evaporators boil off clean water vapour and leave only a small concentrated residue — approaching true zero liquid discharge.

The Technology

When wastewater is too contaminated to discharge or too costly to haul away in full volume, evaporation is the answer. A WaterMaze evaporator heats the wastewater until the clean water leaves as vapour, dramatically shrinking the remaining waste volume.

What is left is a fraction of the original volume — a concentrated residue that is far cheaper to dispose of — while many operations achieve a true zero-discharge footprint. It is the ultimate end-stage for difficult industrial water.

What This Stage Handles

  • Up to 90%+ of volume
  • Dissolved solids
  • Heavy metals
  • Hard-to-treat residue
How It Works

Inside the evaporation stage

1

Heating

Wastewater is heated until the clean water is released as vapour.

2

Vapour Recovery

Steam is drawn off and condensed, leaving the contaminants behind.

3

Concentration

Only a small concentrated residue remains for low-cost disposal.

Evaporation Systems

Wastewater evaporation systems

No city sewer around? Hauling fees painfully high? Evaporation may be the simple solution. Every water treatment system needs to purge water eventually — evaporators can eliminate 95% of hauling costs by concentrating the solids and removing water as steam. WaterMaze feasibility studies are available to determine the potential savings for any water sample.
