→ APPLICATIONS / PROCESS WATER DISPOSAL
XPEL drives efficient process water disposal with high-volume evaporation systems that manage high-load, variable-quality water and reduce pressure on treatment and discharge infrastructure.
PROCESS WATER DISPOSAL
Process water disposal places continuous pressure on facilities that manage high-load, chemically variable and temperature-shifted wastewater generated from production, cleaning, separation and cooling activities.
XPEL introduces enhanced evaporation technology to reduce process wastewater requiring disposal. This approach to managing and disposing of process water helps operators maintain safe, stable water volumes, reducing reliance on treatment plants or discharge pathways.
By converting process water into fine droplets for rapid atmospheric evaporation, each system lowers the hydraulic load on ponds, sumps and downstream assets. This reduction eases pressure on treatment circuits, containment infrastructure and discharge points, helping facilities avoid bottlenecks, overflow events and unplanned operational disruptions.
XPEL evaporators have the capacity to process water containing elevated solids, dissolved salts, and production by-products. Because the system evaporates only the pure water component, the remaining liquid becomes more concentrated and stays within the controlled storage area where it originated. This approach strengthens site-wide water balance and supports predictable compliance outcomes in operations where inflow variability is a constant challenge.
XPEL offers a cost-effective pathway to reduce excess process water without expanding treatment capacity or increasing reliance on off-site hauling. The technology provides long-term operational resilience for industries that must manage high volumes while meeting environmental and regulatory expectations.
Process water disposal applications.
■
Process water disposal applies across industries that generate complex, high-volume wastewater streams. XPEL enables operators to reduce stored process water at scale, stabilizing inflows to treatment networks and strengthening overall water management performance.
-
XPEL reduces stored process water from washdown, blanching and cleaning activities, allowing food processing plants to manage high-organic wastewater volumes more effectively and maintain steadier treatment capacity.
-
Produced water and other process streams can overwhelm oil & gas storage and treatment systems. XPEL lowers these volumes through atmospheric evaporation, supporting safer handling and more predictable disposal pathways.
-
Mining operations rely on XPEL evaporators to reduce process water from ore processing, washdown and material handling circuits, lowering stored volumes and stabilizing site-wide water balance.
-
Municipal operators apply XPEL to reduce excess process water from treatment plants, lagoons and mixed industrial inputs, easing hydraulic pressure and lowering overflow risk during peak inflows.
-
Legacy and industrial sites use XPEL to lower accumulated process water in aging infrastructure, improving controllability and strengthening long-term environmental compliance.
-
Pulp and paper mills trust XPEL to evaporate the clean-water portion of high-organic process streams, reducing hydraulic load on clarifiers, basins and biological treatment systems.
-
Manufacturing facilities deploy XPEL to manage process water generated during production, cooling, rinsing and cleaning activities, supporting compliance while maintaining operational efficiency.
