Oil & Gas: Produced Water Evaporation
Manage produced water at the source with EvaporationWorks’ patented technology designed to reduce disposal costs and environmental impact.
Accelerated Evaporation Technology
EvaporationWorks offers a proven, scalable approach to produced water management through our enhanced evaporation systems. Our Varimax and MegaMist evaporators are specifically engineered to handle high Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) and Total Suspended Solids (TSS) commonly found in oil and gas wastewater.
Why Operators Choose EvaporationWorks
- Simplified Compliance: Built to help meet zero-discharge and environmental guidelines—without legal gymnastics.
- Flexible for Your Site: Our systems are scalable and customizable to any size facility, from ponds to processing facilities.
- Speed to Results: With fast installation and quick ramp-up, you’re operational in days, not months.
Key Advantages of Our Solutions
Fewer Water Trucks for Lower Hauling Bills
Cut disposal costs by dramatically reducing water volume on-site.
Avoid New Injection Wells
Support your exisitng infrastructure to achieve zero discharge without the permitting and liability headaches.
Automated to Respond to Weather
Built-in sensors adjust performance to real-time conditions, so there's no need for constant oversight.
Trusted by Industries Nationwide
Common Questions
Accelerated evaporation reduces large volumes of wastewater, including produced water and flowback, at the site. This minimizes the need for hauling, cuts disposal fees, and helps operators meet permit requirements. It is effective in remote areas or regions with limited disposal infrastructure.
Each atomizer has a flow rate of 12 to 20 gallons per minute, depending on site conditions. Systems are modular and can be scaled to match site-specific flow rates or expanded as operations grow.
Yes. By reducing liquid volume at the source, accelerated evaporation significantly lowers the frequency of hauling and associated tipping fees. This delivers major savings for operations facing high logistics costs or disposal limits.
Yes. Our systems reduce discharge volume and support compliance with regulatory requirements for wastewater handling, storage, and treatment.
EvaporationWorks uses a patented rotary atomizer that adjusts droplet size without changing water throughput. This design improves evaporation rates and reduces energy use. Systems are also engineered with minimal moving parts to simplify operation and extend durability.
Permian Basin Case Study
Problem
A leading operator in the Permian Basin was nearing its permitted injection limits.
Produced water volumes were rising, and new wells weren’t a viable option.
The team needed a fast, scalable way to manage growing volumes and avoid operational slowdowns.
Solution
- EvaporationWorks deployed a multi-unit system that allowed the operator to:
Reduce daily injection volumes - Avoid drilling a new Class II injection well
- Stay within environmental permit limits
- Maintain production output without added infrastructure
The system went live within weeks and is now a permanent part of the operator’s produced water strategy.
