Thermal evaporation apparatus

摘要

Thermal evaporation apparatus (10) for wastewater includes an evaporation tank (12) having an upper water level end (L1) and a lower water end (L2), where the water level in the upper water level end is maintained at a higher water level than the water level in the lower water level end. At least one gas-fired burner (16) is connected to a vertical combustion chamber (26), with the vertical combustion chamber (26) extending through the upper water level end of the evaporation tank (12), and with a horizontal sparger tube (28) connected to the vertical combustion chamber (26) and extending through the lower water level end (L2) of the evaporation tank (12).
