Evaporative Tank™ Series The EVAPORATIVE TANK™, free of complicated machinery and chemistry, was developed as a cost-saving means of recovering valuable dragout. Our plating customers have doubled their benefits by using the EVAPORATIVE TANK™ for E.P.A. compliance and discovering dramatic savings in their waste treatment costs. The EVAPORATIVE TANK™ has also found new uses in the anodizing, painting, photographic, machining, chemical and other fields. This proven, simple and inexpensive system of recovery and reduction can pay for itself in as little as 30 days. How the EVAPORATIVE TANK ™ Works The EVAPORATIVE TANK ™ is available in four models; the ET-II and the ET-III are designed to recover chemicals (dragout) from rinse water. The ET-II-W and ET-III-W are ideally suited for dewatering spent solutions or wastewaters that may have a high solids content. Pumped solution is circulated at a high rate from your process tank or reservoir up to the ET-II-W or ET-III-W and is drained back by gravity to your tank. In the evaporator, the solution is sprayed onto 700 or 1,000 square feet of evaporative panels to humidify the blower air that is forced through these panels. The humid air is then ducted to the outdoors. Heat for evaporation is taken from the solution pumped through the evaporator(about 9,000 BTU per gallon of evaporation.) The "triple-effect", proprietary mist eliminator reduces any droplet emissions to a very low level. An optional AirScrubber™ can be installed inside the EVAPORATIVE TANK™ at any time to further reduce emissions to meet most stringent regulations. The ET-III-W or the ET-II-W depends on a high flow rate and large solution drops suspended in the air stream for its extensive evaporative surface. The 1/2" passages in the spray nozzles make the ET-III-W ideal for waste minimization. The ET-II-W is a smaller version of the ET-III-W and uses a flow rate of 20 to 25gpm. |
| The chart at right is based on
evaporating pure water at 0% relative humidity. As the impurities in the water
increase, there is less water available to evaporate; your evaporation rate will decrease.
As relative humidity increases, the evaporation rate of the solution at ambient
temperature decreases. As solution temperature increases, the effect of relative humidity
on the evaporation rate decreases. Temperature does not dictate evaporation rate ... BTU
input does (9,000 BTU's or 2.6 KWH per gallon is needed to maintain solution temp.). This
graph shows the maximum evaporation rates you can expect. Every application is unique, and
solutions are not pure water at 0% relative humidity. Pat. # 4790904 See below for heated tanks system with higher rates. |

| Benefits of the
EVAPORATIVE TANK™ Non-Contaminating Natural evaporation uses no resins, membranes or electrolytic plate-out cells that require high maintenance and replacement costs. Since no chemistry is added or removed, your process remains unchanged. Low Maintenance The EVAPORATIVE TANK ™ uses only two moving parts - a pump and low cost blower. All molded polyethylene components for solution security, the tank thickness is approximately 1/4" to 3/8". Other materials used are high-temp CPCV, polypropylene, PVC and stainless fasteners. The EVAPORATIVE TANK™ is the ONLY atmospheric evaporator with a lifetime no-leak warranty. Low Cost Totaling all costs: initial purchase, energy, maintenance - the EVAPORATIVE TANK ™ is the most cost effective in recovering 100% of the chemicals (dragout) from your rinse water, or in reducing the volume of spent solution and wastewater. Energy costs to evaporate solutions (water) are calculated as 9000 BTU or 2.6 Kw / per gallon / per hour. Example- if Kw is $ 0.05, then the cost to evaporate one gallon of water is (1 gallon) x (2.6 Kw/$ 0.05) = $ 0.13 per gallon More Details - Applications - Installation methods |

ET-Companion Condenser ™  |
When installed with an
EVAPORATIVE TANK™, the ET-Companion Condenser ™ removes water from the
evaporator's air exhaust. The dry air is returned to the EVAPORATIVE TANK™ to work
again. No more holes in your roof for exhaust ducting. No need for permits from air quality people; this is a completely closed-loop air system. Recovers all water that is evaporated. Today's regulations require recovery of resources wherever possible. It makes economic sense, and removes the need for permits. Reuse your rinse water. Eliminates the air make-up problem. The same air is used over and over again. No need to heat or air condition replacement air - saving thousands of dollars. |
Heated Tank System  |
Heated Tank Evaporator System
™ shown with the ET-Companion ™ Condenser - Provides rates up to 160 GPH The Poly Products Evaporator System evaporates water from process solutions and waste waters under atmospheric conditions. The highest evaporation rate can be achieved by heating the solution prior to pumping it into the evaporator. This is accomplished by using our heated tank with either a gas-fired burner, steam coil or electric heater. The patented (#4790904) ET Evaporative Tank ™ is molded out of polyethylene, with no weld seams, for leak-free operation. With over 2,000 products in the field, the Poly Products evaporator has proven to be the leader in atmospheric evaporation of water. Systems Includes: •Evaporative Tank ™ •Stainless steel heated tank and fire tube (carbon steel and polyethylene are also available) •Gas fired burner, steam coil, or electric heater •Control panel with temperature control, over temperature protection and level controls for automatic operation •CPVC or stainless steel centrifugal pump to feed evaporator •Skid mounting with piping and wiring installed at the factory |
