After a large portion of the original water volume evaporates the remaining concentrated salt sludge is either left in place or removed and hauled offsite for disposal.
Produced water evaporation ponds.
Typically designed six 6 atomizer evaporation system.
Historically produced water was disposed of in large evaporation ponds.
Evaporation ponds evaporation ponds use solar energy to evaporate produced water.
Some salt evaporation ponds are only slightly modified from their natural version such as the ponds on great inagua in the bahamas or the ponds in jasiira a few.
However this has become an increasingly unacceptable disposal method from both environmental and social perspectives.
There are many benefits to using mechanical evaporation.
Higher surface area means higher evaporation rate.
Depending on produced water quality and other.
Produced water is considered an industrial waste.
Six 6 atomizer pond pump system with no clogging pond pump atomizers can atomize over 900 barrels of water per day.
Apply the evaporation rate of your location.
A salt evaporation pond is a shallow artificial salt pan designed to extract salts from sea water or other brines natural salt pans are geological formations that are also created by water evaporating and leaving behind salts.
