摘要： An apparatus and method for evaporative containment of liquid or solid wastes includes an evaporative membrane for receiving the solid or liquid waste and at least one flap including a wicking layer, an odor-neutralizing layer, or both, and a skeletal frame. An apparatus and method for moisture removal from media includes a hydrophilic evaporative layer and a wicking layer, the hydrophilic evaporative layer being non-porous or nano-porous and allowing selective passage of vapor water molecules while preventing passage of suspended or dissolved solids, ions, salt, or pollutants, the wicking layer absorbing and spreading bulk moisture across a surface area. An apparatus and method for collecting liquid or solid wastes includes liquid and solid waste capture containers capable of volume reduction of captured waste and generating a liquid or gas effluent with fewer impurities than the captured waste.

摘要： A de-watering system for liquid industrial waste from an industrial cleaning process is provided. The liquid industrial waste has an initial water content, and comprises detergents and solid waste. A de-watering bed (430) holds the liquid industrial waste. Air in a first zone (420) is enclosed by a transparent structure (410) and is heated by the sun during daytime. A first controllable opening (450) controls a rate of flow of air in the first zone (420). Water from the liquid industrial waste evaporates into heated air in the first zone (420). An air removal conduit (440) allows heated air to vent to the atmosphere. A control system (380) selectively opens the first controllable opening (450), to regulate the flow of air. De-watering continues until a selectable end point, based on residual water content of the waste, or a final concentration of non-water components.

摘要： An improved surface evaporation system where droplet size and spray configuration is controlled and modified based upon ambient conditions in order to prevent the spreading of salts and other contaminants outside of a treatment pit or specific area. Water droplet size can be controlled by adjustment of the spray nozzle side. Increasing the nozzle size to increase droplet size results in a reduction of mist travel direction (i.e., drift distance). Reducing the nozzle size decreases the droplet size, and increases drift distance. Similarly, changing the configuration of the spray will affect drift distance. For example, changing the spray direction and height from a vertical spray direction to a flatter, more horizontal direction (with resulting greater area) results in a substantially decreased drift distance. In addition, the system also takes into account the effects of wind speed and direction and humidity. Evaporation modules may use standard spray nozzles, or ultrasonic evaporators.

摘要： The present disclosure relates to the technical field of wastewater treatment, and provides a wastewater treatment method and apparatus based on hydrate-based water vapor adsorption. The apparatus includes a wastewater evaporation zone, a hydrate formation zone, a hydrate decomposition zone, and a data acquisition and control system. Rising water vapor and condensed water formed during evaporation of wastewater at normal temperature react with a hydrate former on a cooling wall surface to form a hydrate, continuous evaporation of the wastewater is promoted, the hydrate is scraped off to a collecting zone below by a scraper after being formed, and the hydrate is decomposed into fresh water, thereby realizing wastewater treatment. The present disclosure provides a method for treating complex wastewater containing a plurality of pollutants, where water vapor is consumed to form the hydrate to promote wastewater evaporation, and water obtained from the decomposition does not contain pollutants theoretically.

摘要： A multistage flash (MSF) desalination system is described. The MSF desalination system comprises a feed tank, a brine heater (BH), an MSF tower with n number of stages, n−1 number of condensers each with an inlet and an outlet, and a desalinated water tank. Herein, the feed tank is connected to a first pump, which is connected to the BH; the MSF tower comprises a stepped pyramid shape with n number of connected chambers. The n number of stages each contains at least one flash spray nozzle and a demister. The flash spray nozzles are fluidly connected to drainage of the previous stage, with the flash spray nozzle in the first stage connected to the BH. Further, the condensers are connected to the demisters in n−1 stages and to the next condenser, with the last condenser connected to a second pump, which is connected to the desalinated water tank.

摘要： A system for the disposal of liquid waste includes a portable container body having an open interior and a liquid waste inlet for receiving liquid waste containing solids. A liquid waste holding tank is provided within the open interior of the portable container body for receiving the liquid waste from the liquid waste inlet. A liquid-solid separator within the open interior of the portable container body produces a solid waste and a separated liquid waste. A conduit directs the liquid waste from the liquid waste holding tank to the liquid-solid separator. An evaporator within the open interior of the portable container body heats the separated liquid waste to evaporate and remove water from the separated liquid waste as water vapor and produces a concentrated liquid waste. A safety containment system prevents the liquid waste from escaping to the environment. A method for disposing of liquid waste is also disclosed.
