→ APPLICATIONS / SALINE & SALT WATER DISPOSAL
Saline & salt water disposal.
Industrial-scale XPEL evaporation systems reduce stored volumes of saline wastewater and brine where conventional disposal or treatment options cannot keep pace.
SALINE & SALT WATER DISPOSAL
Saline and saltwater streams accumulate in ponds, dams and holding structures where rising volumes limit capacity and increase operational pressure.
If the water is not treated on-site, operators rely on volume reduction and controlled concentration management to maintain system stability.
XPEL uses mechanical evaporation to remove the water fraction from saline and saltwater storage, enabling operators to manage concentration ranges better. Under certain conditions, this reduction can complement natural or operational dilution pathways, allowing the facilities to meet discharge thresholds without expanding mechanical treatment assets.
As volumes decline, sites gain more predictable control over salinity levels, reduce strain on holding infrastructure and avoid costly interventions such as pumping, hauling or energy-intensive treatment.
Backed by decades of evaporation engineering experience, XPEL provides operators with a streamlined, scalable way to manage saline and saltwater loads while building long-term operational resilience.
Saline & salt water disposal applications.
■
Saline and salt water disposal supports operations that manage brines, high-TDS and high-TSS water generated through processing, groundwater inflows or industrial by-products. XPEL helps these environments reduce concentrated salt loads that can damage pipelines, foul equipment, or overwhelm mechanical treatment systems.
-
XPEL applies saline and salt water disposal selectively in food processing where brine-rich streams occur, such as seafood handling, pickling and salt-based preservation processes that create concentrated wastewater.
-
Oil and gas operations frequently generate saline produced water, and XPEL supports these sites by reducing brine volumes before reuse, treatment or disposal, lowering reliance on hauling or deep-well injection.
-
Mining operations in regions with saline groundwater or salt-affected geology benefit from XPEL systems that reduce high-salinity inflows and protect processing infrastructure from scaling and corrosion.
-
XPEL assists legacy and industrial sites with the reduction of long-standing saline wastewater that accumulates in old ponds, containment structures or inactive process circuits, aiding site rehabilitation.
-
In manufacturing settings where chemical production or specialty processes generate saline wastewater, XPEL reduces high-salt loads to improve downstream treatment efficiency and maintain system reliability.
