Land based or floating wastewater evaporator
View Patent ↗At least one electric atomizing fan is mounted on a portable land craft or a raft. An electric pump delivers pond water to the land craft or raft to evaporate the pond water. A land based power supply powers the pump and the atomizing fans. The either (submersible) pump sends the pond water to a dissipater adjacent the electric atomizing fan to produce a micro droplet mist. Preferably no additional evaporation chamber or heater is used. One embodiment uses a berm/platform to mount a plurality of land craft thereon. Either system could be mounted on a single trailer.
1. A transportable evaporator system comprising:
a land craft having a pump to propel fluid from a body of fluid via a hose connected to the land craft directly without a holding tank to at least one dissipater mounted adjacent an onboard atomizing fan;
each of said dissipaters producing a micro droplet mist via its adjacent onboard atomizing fan;
said atomizing fans powered by a land based power source;
each of said atomizing fans rotating at a high speed to generate the micro droplet mist; and
said system not having a separate evaporation chamber or a heater for the fluid.
2. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the land craft is a skid which does not have telescoping masts.
3. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the land craft and the land based power source are mounted together on a trailer.
4. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the pump is submersible.
5. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the atomizing fans share a common fluid inlet manifold.
6. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the pump is powered by the land based power source.
7. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein each dissipater can be controlled to vary the micro droplet mist size from 40 microns to greater than 250 microns.
8. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein each of said atomizing fans can evaporate up to 10 GPM.
9. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the atomizing fan further comprises a finned pitch blade.
10. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the land based power source is electricity.
11. The apparatus of claim 10 further comprising a berm in between two bodies of fluid and at least two land craft located on the berm.
12. A fluid evaporation system comprising:
a land based platform adjacent a body of fluid;
at least two land craft located on the platform;
each land craft having a pump to propel fluid from the body of fluid, via a hose connected to the land craft to a dissipater mounted adjacent to an atomizing fan which is mounted on the land craft;
wherein the dissipater with its adjacent atomizing fan produces a micro droplet mist;
said atomizing fan and pump powered by electricity; and
said fluid evaporation system not having a separate evaporation chamber or a heater for the fluid.
