Wastewater evaporation apparatus and method

摘要

An apparatus and method for evaporating a liquid and incinerating pollutants present in the resulting vapor. The system includes a chamber for containing a liquid, a floatable pan in the chamber with at least one opening to allow a portion of the liquid to enter into a basin of the pan, a heating element at least partially sumergeable in the liquid in the basin of the pan for evaporating the liquid, and a blowing burner to incinerate pollutants present in the evaporated liquid.

1. A method for evaporating liquid comprising:
floating a pan in a liquid to be evaporated in a chamber; transferring a portion of the liquid to be evaporated into a basin of the pan; at least partially submerging a hollow heating element in the liquid in the basin; heating the heating element by flowing exhaust gas through it; evaporating a first amount of the portion of the liquid in the basin to form a vapor; incinerating pollutants in the vapor; transferring a second amount of the portion of the liquid in the basin to the inside of the heating element; mixing the exhaust gas with the second amount of the portion of the liquid inside the heating element; transferring the mixture of exhaust gas and the second amount of the portion of the liquid to a baffle; scrubbing the exhaust gas by passing the mixture through the baffle; exiting the exhaust gas from the baffle; and superheating the exhaust gas with a blowing burner.
