ENCON Evaporator Features and Benefits

Blower System

The blower system consists of a 1725 RPM, TEFC, motor with Class-B insulation rated for high temperatures and a heavy gauge cast aluminum blower for durability and longevity. The blower system is extremely quiet and has 3 times the average life expectancy of 3450 RPM motors. Thermal overload protection is included on the blower motor.

Robust Burner

The burner system includes a fuel filter, fuel pump, cartridge heater to pre-heat the waste oil, integrated compressor to atomize waste oil into the combustion chamber for efficient combustion, and high capacity ignition transformer for reliable burner starts. Also included are Honeywell controls for safe operation and pressure gauges for monitoring filter and compressor pressure.

Redundant Burner Contactors

To ensure maximum safety, each burner-fired unit comes with redundant contactors. This critical safety feature ensures the burners will shut down in the event of an alarm condition. If an alarm condition occurs that requires the burners to shut off and the primary duty burner contactor becomes mechanically stuck, the redundant burner contactor will open to ensure system shutdown.

Level Sensing

Our durable tuning fork level probes operate through a piezoelectric crystal that creates a frequency shift as conditions around the probe change. These probes are fabricated of a stainless/titanium alloy for excellent corrosion resistance. Tuning forks offer reliable auto-filling and fail safe shut-down operation. This reliability is complimented by the ongoing diagnostics performed on the level probes by the PLC control system. Optional Hastelloy C probes are available for more corrosive applications.

Mist Eliminator System

Over the years, competitive evaporators have been known to discharge unwanted contaminants through their exhaust stack.The ENCON Wastewater Evaporator is designed with a fabricated stainless steel housing and mist eliminator to capture contaminants before they are exhausted. Our effective mist capturing system has the following features for proper functionality:

Compression fit mist pad to capture unwanted contaminants before exhausting
Ease of removal and cleaning to minimize manpower requirement
An adequate buffer zone between the water level and the mist pad, to allow fall back of contaminants
Adequate mist pad surface area to regulate vapor velocity and prevent blow through of contaminants
Monitoring of mist pad loading to ensure consistent evaporation rate

Mist pads rated from 2 - 10 microns to capture even the smallest droplets.

Integrated Control & Monitoring System

ENCON Wastewater Evaporators (excluding the Drum Evaporator) are controlled with Programmable Logic Controllers (PLC's). The PLC control and monitoring logic is designed for optimal safety and operator feedback. Features of this system include:

NEMA 4 Panel with modem to allow remote access by ENCON Engineers for monitoring and troubleshooting
Operator Interface Panel with scrolling text messages for normal and alarm conditions
Continuous monitoring of mist pad pressure, air temperature, and water temperature
Continuous level probe diagnostics
Alarm indications for high temperature, high level, low level, mist pad differential pressure, and level probe malfunction
Indicator lights for main power, burner(s), and alarms.

Keypad for setpoint display and modification with lockout feature.

Cleanout Flange

The ENCON Wastewater Evaporator has a large six inch flanged cleanout cover with a 1 ½" NPT fitting for discharge pump connection and ease of residue removal (8 and 10 gal/hr units have a four inch flanged cleanout cover with a 1" NPT fitting). The tank bottom slopes towards the cleanout, making tank cleaning an efficient task compared to our competitor's 2" or 4" opening.
