Evaporation technology offers the simplest and most effective approach to industrial wastewater minimization. ENCON Wastewater Evaporators are able to handle a wide range of waste streams simultaneously and are a great option for manufacturing processes that may expand or change in the future.

Many companies that generate industrial wastewater are hauling their water for disposal at a high cost per gallon. Other companies are treating the wastewater, often with labor and chemical intensive processes, and are having to adhere to increasingly strict discharge limits to their local sewer authority.

ENCON Drum and Thermal Evaporators offer an alternative to hauling and treating by safely evaporating wastewater to atmosphere at a dramatically lower cost. ENCON Mechanical Vapor Compression (MVC) Evaporators recover and recycle wastewater as distilled water for reuse or discharge to the sewer. ENCON MVC Evaporators are very energy efficient with typical energy costs in the range of $0.01 – 0.02 per gallon of distilled water. Finally, the ENCON Drum Dryer will efficiently dewater concentrated residues to a dry condition, in most cases, for landfill disposal.

All ENCON systems are designed to operate off shift and unattended to minimize manpower requirements and cost. ENCON Sales Engineers will work with you to qualify applications based on ENCON lab and pilot scale testing. The ENCON approach is consultative with special focus on providing solutions with financial justification and regulatory compliance.

Drum Evaporators

ENCON Drum Evaporators are an excellent low cost solution for your low volume wastewater dewatering. Since the heating elements do not come in contact with the wastewater, there is no risk of baking onto the heat transfer surface. This makes the Drum Evaporator an excellent solution for dirtier applications such as bottoms from your Thermal Evaporator, as well as water based inks, paints, and adhesives. Since the evaporator vessel is a 55 gallon drum, at the end of the evaporation/drying cycle the drum can be capped and hauled for disposal without requiring hours of operator intervention to scrape and empty contents from the tank. The ENCON Drum Evaporator is offered in two models; the DE2 rated for up to 200 gallons per 5 day week, and the DE4 rated for up to 400 gallons per 5 day week.

Thermal Evaporators

ENCON Thermal Evaporators and wastewater recovery technology have been supplied to our commercial and industrial clients for the past 17 years with hundreds installed throughout North America, South America, Europe, the Middle East and Asia. In addition to our standard heat source offerings of natural gas, propane, oil, diesel, kerosene, steam, and electricity; we can also provide these systems for off spec landfill gas and waste oil applications. This offers the tremendous benefit of solving your wastewater problem with free energy! ENCON Thermal Evaporators are available in evaporation capacities of 10-400 gallons per hour. In addition to heating wastewater to boiling temperatures and exhausting clean water vapor, these systems can be adapted to capture water vapor as distilled water. The standard alloy of construction is 316L Stainless Steel with higher alloys available for more corrosive applications. Typical applications include: oily water coolants and lubricants, washwaters, rinsewaters, high TDS solutions, brackish waters, treated process water, RO reject, scrubber waters, landfill leachate, and more.

MVC Evaporators

The ENCON Mechanical Vapor Compression (MVC) Evaporator is a breakthrough in wastewater recovery technology that converts dirty wastewater into a high quality distilled water for only $0.01 -0.02 per gallon. These systems have a compact footprint with standard evaporation capacities of 40 - 1800 gallons per hour (larger custom systems are available). These wastewater recovery and processing systems are highly automated for unattended around the clock operation including Clean-in-Place systems that remove scale from heat transfer surfaces to ensure high efficiency with our wastewater recycling system. The standard alloy of construction is 316 Stainless and higher alloys are available for more corrosive applications. Typical applications include: oily water coolants and lubricants, washwaters, rinsewaters, RO reject, cooling tower blowdown, printed circuit board assembly waters, salt and brackish waters, treated process waters, groundwater, and more.

Drum Dryer

ENCON Drum Dryers are an excellent low cost solution for your low volume gross dewatering and drying applications. In evaporation mode these systems will dewater your dirtiest waste streams such as evaporator bottoms, salt slurries, inks, paints, and adhesives. Since the heating elements do not come in contact with the wastewater, there is no risk of baking onto the heat transfer surface. Once gross dewatering is complete, the system is easily switched into drying mode. In drying mode the concentrated slurry is gently mixed and vertically conveyed to expose moisture and yield a homogeneous dry residue. Since the dryer vessel is a 55 gallon drum, at the end of the drying cycle the drum can be capped and hauled for disposal without requiring hours of operator intervention to scrape and empty contents from the tank.
