A system and method for concentrating wastewater with a heated gas is disclosed wherein a heated gas directed into a first wastewater heating chamber at a first velocity and a first wastewater stream is directed into the first wastewater heating chamber. A second wastewater heating chamber coupled to the first wastewater heating chamber and in fluid communication with the first wastewater heating chamber is disclosed. The wastewater streams and heated gas are propagated to optimize the water drop size within the heating chambers.

Fluid treatment systems and methods

A system for concentrating wastewater with a heated gas is disclosed wherein a heated gas directed into a wastewater heating chamber having a cooling assembly for minimizing scale buildup.

Fluid treatment apparatus and methods

A system for concentrating wastewater with a heated gas is disclosed wherein a heated gas is directed into a first wastewater heating chamber at a first velocity and a first wastewater stream is directed into the first wastewater heating chamber. A second wastewater heating chamber is coupled to the first wastewater heating chamber and in fluid communication with the first wastewater heating chamber. A second wastewater stream is directed into the second wastewater heating chamber at a velocity that is greater than the velocity of the heated gas directed into the first wastewater heating chamber.

Fluid treatment systems

An accelerated vapor recompression apparatusconverts incoming flowto a concentrateby developing a concentration profilewithin a tankholding a liquidcontaining dissolved solids. The resulting curveof saturation temperature of the stratified liquid(such as a brineor other material) moves away from the curvecorresponding to fully mixed conditions. The shiftin saturation temperature results in increased boiling without increased energy from a heateror compressor. A methodof control of the system provides interventionsat different levelsof control, ranging from mass flowsto work of a compressor, heat from a heater, and a predictive processingof feedbackfor controlling commandsalgorithmically.

Controlled-gradient, accelerated vapor-recompression apparatus and method

Controlled-gradient, accelerated-vapor-recompression apparatus and method

A fluid evaporation system includes a housing bounding an airflow path. A misting system is positioned within the airflow path for spraying a wastewater into the airflow path. Water in the misted wastewater is evaporated, thereby concentrating minerals in the wastewater. A pretreatment system is positioned upstream from the fluid evaporator. The pretreatment system includes a gas induced separator. Separation of hydrocarbons and water are enhanced using a polymer and/or by lowering the pH of the wastewater.
