Evaporator
PoleCat Evaporators
SMI Mega PoleCat Evaporator Skid-mounted unit, designed for large-scale operations.
Key Features:
- Efficient Spray: 30 nozzle system flows 150 gpm (568 lpm) at 150 psi (10.3 bar), reaching up to 174 gpm (659 lpm) at 200 psi (13.8 bar).
- Stable and Mobile: Skid mounted with 359° oscillation standard for easy positioning.
- User-Friendly Controls: Features an electric head jack and HMI color touchscreen display for intuitive operation.
- Adaptive Operation: Manual or automated wind/speed start/stop controls for efficient performance management.
SMI 420F Evaporator
Floating unit, designed for effective operation in small areas, especially sites containing large particles or highly corrosive water.
Key Features:
- Low Build-up: Minimal top surface area to prevent residue.
- High Performance: High speed fan blade rotation (3600 rpm) that creates an optimum water droplet distribution for evaporation.
- Easy Maintenance: No weekly lubrication, motor lubricated for life.
- Minimal Clogging: Passes particles up to 3/16 inch, reduces pre-filtering needs.
- Extreme Duty: 10 years of industrial use, polyethylene pontoons with PU foam, stainless steel components for harsh environments.
Two main categories of evaporators for produced water treatment:
420 (Floating) Series
Water fracturing: The water stream is fractured through a high-speed fan and propelled into the air.
PoleCat (On-shore) Series
Water atomization: Air is compressed via a fan through a tapered barrel and propels controlled-size water droplets created via nozzles.
Challenge
Natural solar evaporation is slow and often limited by land availability and the cost of constructing additional storage ponds.
Solution
BadrEOR’s forced mechanical evaporators enhancing the evaporation process up to 14 times faster than natural solar ponds. These compact, reliable, and transportable machines can significantly reduce the need for large evaporation ponds, lower costs, and improve operational efficiency.
