Optimize the management of your industrial wastewater while complying with environmental standards
What is an evapo-concentrator?
In industrial wastewater treatment, evapo-concentrators play a crucial role in reducing effluent volumes, concentrating pollutants and enabling more economical and environmentally-friendly waste management. This type of equipment is an effective solution for companies faced with growing environmental demands and high liquid waste disposal costs.
The advantages of such equipment
- Significant reduction in effluent volumes: Evaporation can reduce effluent volumes by up to 90%, significantly reducing the cost of transporting and treating liquid waste. Pollutants are concentrated in a fraction of their original volume, making them easier to manage.
- Compliance with environmental regulations: Industrial wastewater discharge standards are becoming increasingly stringent, particularly for the chemical, pharmaceutical and food industries. The evapo-concentrator enables effluents to be treated to purity levels that comply with regulations.
- Water recovery and reuse: Evaporated water is condensed into a distillate, which can be reused in industrial processes (cleaning, cooling, etc.) or discharged with low environmental impact. Reduced drinking water consumption and associated costs.$
- Energy efficiency thanks to vacuum technology: vacuum evaporators enable evaporation temperatures to be lowered (often to 30-50°C), thus reducing energy consumption compared with conventional evaporators. Some models use renewable energy sources or heat recovery systems for even greater efficiency.
- Reduced long-term operating costs: Although the initial investment may be high, the reduction in volumes to be treated and water recovery enable significant savings on disposal and supply costs. Limits the need for water treatment chemicals.

Questions to ask yourself before purchasing an evapo-concentrator ?
How much effluent does your business generate?
The volume of effluent varies depending on the industry and the processes used. It can range from a few hundred liters per day for small facilities to several hundred cubic meters for large industrial sites. An accurate assessment allows the most effective treatment solution to be implemented.
What types of pollutants are present in your wastewater?
Industrial wastewater can contain various pollutants, including heavy metals (lead, nickel, chromium), hydrocarbons, dissolved salts, and organic compounds. An analysis of the chemical composition is essential to determine the most appropriate treatment.
Would you like to reuse distilled water or reduce waste transportation costs?
It depends on your company’s specific objectives. Reusing distilled water reduces water consumption and improves your environmental footprint. At the same time, reducing the volume of liquid waste significantly lowers transportation and disposal costs. An evaporative concentration solution can meet both of these needs.
