Vacom LLC provides custom designed thermal compression and mechanical vapor recompression evaporators (MVR) as packaged systems for wastewater treatment. In doing so, our customers recover clean water for beneficial reuse and when coupled with recovery of valuable products from the system concentrate such as oil, lubricants, finish oil, PVA, metals, glycol and salts, the system can truly be classified as zero liquid discharge (ZLD). The unique and patented sytem takes advantage of vapor compression, flash evaporation, and turbulent flow and submerged boiling regimes to create a non-fouling, non-scaling system cable of remote operations through PLC controls. The system can be integrated with membrane filtration or distillation to recover volatile organics (VOCs). The system can also be operated as a crystallizer. Industries served include metal working, tribology, textile, paper, corrugated boxboard, mining, manufacturing, chemical, petrochemical, refining, food processing, and municipal sewage treatment for the recovery of waste activated sludge as a soil admendment. Recovered water can be discharged to a local POTW, into the environment within strict regulatory limits and can be reused as boiler feed or cooling tower makeup, agricultural water and as process water.
