Total site water balance.
→ APPLICATIONS / TOTAL SITE WATER BALANCE
XPEL evaporation technology provides the capacity needed to stabilize inflows, outflows and stored volumes across entire operations, helping maintain total site water balance.
TOTAL SITE WATER BALANCE
Total site water balance becomes increasingly difficult to manage when rainfall, groundwater inflows, process water and runoff push storage, treatment or discharge systems beyond their capacity. These fluctuations raise overflow risk, strain infrastructure and disrupt normal operation.
Industrial, municipal and resource-based facilities often rely on multiple ponds and containment areas that fill at different rates depending on weather, production cycles and internal water circuits. As volumes rise unevenly across a site, operators face reduced storage buffers, constrained movement and higher exposure to environmental and compliance risk.
XPEL addresses these conditions with large-volume evaporation systems that reduce stored water levels through enhanced evaporation from site storage ponds and dams. By lowering water levels, the technology helps stabilize site hydraulics, preserve essential buffer capacity and maintain reliable operational control.
Powered by decades of engineering experience, XPEL provides a cost-efficient method for supporting total site water balance in diverse and changing environments. These systems improve resilience across sectors, support regulatory alignment and help operations maintain safe and productive performance throughout fluctuating conditions.
Total site water balance applies to operations where water enters, moves through, and exits the site via multiple pathways, often influenced by rainfall, groundwater inflows, processing circuits, and seasonal variability. XPEL mitigates this complexity by reducing stored water volumes at key points, helping operators maintain safe pond levels, prevent overtopping, and keep interconnected water systems within controlled limits.
Total site water balance applications.
■
-
Food processing sites manage intake, process flows and wastewater volumes across multiple stages. XPEL contributes to total site water balance by reducing excess water stored in ponds, helping facilities ease pressure on downstream treatment and maintain smoother plant operation.
-
Oil and gas operations juggle produced water, runoff and process-water circuits. XPEL supports total site water balance by evaporating accumulated water from designated ponds, helping sites absorb fluctuations without overloading disposal or treatment pathways.
-
Mining sites depend on controlled water movement across pits, circuits and storage areas. XPEL integrates into total site water balance by lowering pond levels, restoring buffer capacity and protecting production continuity when rainfall or inflows increase.
-
Municipal systems coordinate water movement across treatment plants, stormwater assets and storage structures. XPEL strengthens total site water balance by reducing pond volumes where capacity constraints develop, supporting predictable and compliant operation.
-
Legacy and industrial facilities often face long-term accumulation in ageing ponds. XPEL contributes to total site water balance by evaporating stored water, restoring space and reducing environmental exposure across constrained, high-risk areas.
-
Pulp and paper operations manage large internal water circuits and high-volume effluent streams. XPEL helps stabilise total site water balance by reducing excess water in storage ponds, supporting more consistent flow conditions and treatment performance.
-
Manufacturing sites manage diverse water inputs and outputs across production and cleaning processes. XPEL supports total site water balance by evaporating surplus ponded water, helping maintain compliance, operational control and system stability.
