Water solutions for pulp & paper.
→ INDUSTRIES / PULP & PAPER
In a sector defined by intense water usage and complex effluent loads, XPEL provides the most cost-effective evaporation capability that reinforces treatment stability and supports uninterrupted pulp and paper production.
WATER SOLUTIONS FOR PULP & PAPER
Pulp and paper operations manage some of the most challenging wastewater profiles in industry, with fibre-rich streams, shifting chemistries and high daily volumes placing constant pressure on treatment assets and production continuity.
XPEL is built for these conditions, delivering controlled evaporation performance that supports facility stability in every production cycle.
Pulping, bleaching, and paper-forming processes generate solids-heavy water that can overwhelm lagoons and biological treatment when volumes surge. XPEL reduces liquid load at the source, creating steadier hydraulic conditions and easing the strain on existing treatment systems. Its high-throughput evaporation capability handles fluctuating pH, dissolved organics and suspended fibres that complicate conventional treatment pathways.
By lowering stored volumes and reducing the burden on wastewater infrastructure, XPEL helps mills minimize odor risk, prevent basin overload and maintain predictable performance across production areas. This reliability enhances compliance outcomes and reduces reliance on costly off-site disposal, even in regions with tight discharge limits or water scarcity.
A compact footprint, low power demand, and minimal moving parts keep operating costs under control while supporting long-term water strategy, including zero-liquid-discharge ambitions. XPEL delivers this performance with the durability and efficiency pulp and paper environments demand, giving mills a scalable evaporation solution engineered for fibre-rich wastewater and high-intensity industrial conditions.
XPEL evaporation systems support pulp and paper facilities with dependable water reduction across pulping, bleaching and paper-making wastewater streams.

■
-
XPEL supports ZLD programs by removing water through evaporation so that mines can minimize liquid releases while managing the remaining concentrated brine within regulated systems.
-
Engineered evaporation reduces the volume of process water requiring disposal, helping operators relieve pressure on discharge points and downstream handling assets.
-
XPEL complements wastewater treatment plants by reducing incoming or residual volumes that exceed treatment capacity, helping stabilize operations during peak demand.
-
By reducing stored water across multiple locations, XPEL improves hydraulic control and helps sites maintain a more predictable total water balance under changing inflow conditions.
-
XPEL supports treatment plants by evaporating excess liquid that cannot be fully processed, reducing hydraulic load and contributing to more stable plant operation.
-
Evaporation provides an alternative pathway for managing excess wastewater volume, reducing the strain on mechanical or biological treatment systems without altering water quality.
-
XPEL helps reduce standing stormwater volumes after high-inflow events, easing pressure on containment areas and improving site resilience during extreme weather.
-
Evaporation assists watershed programs by lowering excessive water accumulation within controlled areas, supporting broader water-balance strategies across industrial or municipal sites.
-
XPEL supports zero effluent discharge objectives with systems that close the loop, reduce waste volumes, and improve environmental stewardship.
-
Evaporation reduces excess process water volumes, helping pulp and paper facilities control hydraulic loading rates and maintain stable performance across treatment and recovery systems.
-
Mechanical evaporation reduces water accumulation within closed loop pulp and paper systems, supporting controlled reuse where discharge and capacity are constrained.
PRODUCTS
Land based
evaporators
Fully customisable and bespoke in design, our XPEL land based water evaporators are available in a range of sizes enabling operators to reduce the risks associated with excess water and ensure environmental compliance with a wide range of water processing capabilities.
Pontoon
evaporators
When land based units aren’t an option, the XPEL Pontoon Series evaporator is a water management solution that can be relied on to help reduce the risk of excess water and ensure environmental compliance by reducing the volume of water stored on-site using mechanically enhanced evaporation.
TESTED & PROVEN
XPEL evaporators are tested & proven in pulp & paper water management applications.
Capability
XPEL evaporation systems help mills manage water more efficiently by reducing the load on lagoons, clarifiers and downstream treatment assets. The system performs reliably in environments where wastewater volumes fluctuate sharply between production cycles, giving operators a controlled way to manage peaks without expanding physical infrastructure.
Automated operation maintains consistent output with minimal oversight, helping teams free up labor and simplify daily water management tasks. Mobile, modular configurations allow mills to position units where they are needed most, whether supporting primary treatment, overflow control or seasonal load reduction.
Experience
XPEL technology has been applied across industrial environments through decades of field deployment, delivering stable evaporation rates in settings where wastewater variability and solids loading challenge traditional treatment.
These results demonstrate reliable output in pulp and paper applications, helping operators strengthen compliance, reduce operational stress and support long-term performance in high-demand production facilities.
