Produced Water Evaporation Ponds

Higher surface area means higher evaporation rate.

Produced water evaporation ponds.

A salt evaporation pond is a shallow artificial salt pan designed to extract salts from sea water or other brines natural salt pans are geological formations that are also created by water evaporating and leaving behind salts. There are many benefits to using mechanical evaporation. Typically designed six 6 atomizer evaporation system. Apply the evaporation rate of your location.

Evaporation ponds evaporation ponds use solar energy to evaporate produced water. After a large portion of the original water volume evaporates the remaining concentrated salt sludge is either left in place or removed and hauled offsite for disposal. Our evaporation machines can rapidly increase the evaporation process with up to 14 times more. Smaller droplets hang in the air longer increasing evaporation rate.

Some salt evaporation ponds are only slightly modified from their natural version such as the ponds on great inagua in the bahamas or the ponds in jasiira a few. However this has become an increasingly unacceptable disposal method from both environmental and social perspectives. Smi s mechanical evaporation equipment offers our customers a better alternative because it is a cost effective produced water removal system that meets many government regulations. Produced water is considered an industrial waste.
