Atmospheric Evaporators |

APOLLO Atmospheric Evaporators are a simple, low cost means of complying with EPA regulations while recovering valuable dragout. Available in polypropylene, polyethylene, PVC and PVDF, these units can be used in a wide variety of applications. Two standard sizes are available with evaporation rates from 5 to 75 gallons per hour. By evaporating water from a process tank, additional volume is made available for some or all of the counterflowing rinse water and dragout. The process tank evaporation rate is increased by circulating the solution through the large surface area in the evaporative tank which is exposed to forced air. The APOLLO Atmospheric Evaporator can be utilized to reduce wastewater volume from storage tanks which significantly minimizes hauling costs.
Depending upon the application, the concentrate can be recycled or disposed of at greatly reduced costs resulting in higher profits. Zero discharge and closed loop systems offer reduced operating and treatment costs and avoid problems associated with environmental compliance. Systems are available to operate with steam, hot water, electricity, gas, or oil. |

Assembled Systems
Skid-mounted systems are available with electric, steam, or gas heat. Electric and steam heated systems included polypropylene tanks as standards. Gas heated systems utilize stainless steel or titanium tanks. All assembled systems include tank, evaporator tower, stand, recirculation pump, heating systems, level control, and control enclosure.
