Vapor Compression Water Distillers

60,000 gpd - 360,000 gpd vapor compression trailer mount with generators.

Zero liquid discharge tanks for settling hyper-saline brines at super saturation.

Frac water and municipal wastewater solutions.

 

Vapor Compression Water Distillers

Compression of Brine Waters for Supersaturation using MPI Vapco Vapor Compressors

Equipment required:

10,000 gpd vapor compressor

1000 gallon recycle tank
500 gallon brine tank

Useful information

1 cubic foot water = 7.48 gallons

1 gallon water = 8.34 pounds

1 cubic foot of water weighs approximately 62pounds

1 cubic foot of concentrated solids to 5% moisture weighs approximately 100 pounds

Sand w/ Gravel, wet = 125 pounds per cubic foot

Sand w/ Gravel, dry = 108 pounds per cubic foot


 

10,000 gpd at 1000ppm = 8,340 pounds solids per 1,000,000,000 gallons (83.4 pounds of solids per 10,000 gallons).


A 10,000 gpd vapor compressor generates 9,000 gallons of distilled water and 1,000 gallons of reject brine water at 10,000 ppm if the influent is 1,000 ppm.

 

This 1,000 gallons of 10,000 ppm reject water must be compressed , yielding 900 gallons of distilled water and 100 gallons of reject brine at 100,000 ppm (84 pounds).

 

900 gallons of 10,000 ppm reject brine should be added to the 100 gallons of 100,000 ppm reject brine water in the 1,000 gallon tank, producing 1000 gallons of reject brine water at 15,000 ppm (approximately 150 pounds solids).

 

The 1000 gallons of reject brine water at 15,000 ppm will be compressed to 100 gallons of 150,000 ppm reject brine.

 

900 gallons of 10,000 ppm reject brine should again be added to the 100 gallons of 150,000 ppm reject brine (approximately 225 pounds solids) This batch should be compressed and stored in the 500 gallon brine tank for solids recovery.

 

The final reject brine is at 210 degrees Fahrenheit and will cause rapid evaporation. Supersaturation may be achieved with no additional heat.
