Produced Water Evaporation Ponds

However this has become an increasingly unacceptable disposal method from both environmental and social perspectives.

Produced water evaporation ponds.

Depending on produced water quality and other. Our evaporation machines can rapidly increase the evaporation process with up to 14 times more. 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. Smaller droplets hang in the air longer increasing evaporation rate.

Historically produced water was disposed of in large evaporation ponds. 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. Six 6 atomizer pond pump system with no clogging pond pump atomizers can atomize over 900 barrels of water per day. Evaporation ponds evaporation ponds use solar energy to evaporate produced water.

There are many benefits to using mechanical evaporation. 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. Typically designed six 6 atomizer evaporation system. Produced water is considered an industrial waste.
