RESERVE PIT EVAPORATORS

There is nothing new under the sun, and the concept of evaporating waste water is no exception. Previous attempts were quickly abandoned after oil companies and landowners alike noticed the nearby land and vegetation covered in a thick layer of various salts. Our solution is different and built on our past experience with this failed method. Agile has identified and addressed these show-stopping issues with our patent pending solution.

Droplet Size

While utilizing a smaller droplet size is ideal for optimizing evaporation rates and system efficiency, it present problems as well. When a droplet of saturated water evaporates, it leaves behind a small particle consisting of what was previously dissolved solids. This particle becomes free to drift. In many cases these particles accumulate outside of the pit which is being evaporated. By carefully and meticulously selecting an ideal droplet size, Agile’s solution is able to create droplets that do not fully evaporate or drift outside of the contained area. 

Layout

When each site is assessed by our team for suitability, details about the layout and orientation of the site are documented and used to position equipment in order to minimize contamination risk while optimizing the evaporation rate. Video, wind speed, wind direction, temperature, humidity and rainfall are all recorded on site and streamed back to our control center where setpoints for the system can be adjusted based on the individualized risk profile for each site. 

Results

After production testing, Agile and its customer have found the system to both contain solids and provide a faster than initially expected evaporation rate. If you are ready to dramatically cut disposal costs, or for a demo please contact us.
