SaltMaker Evaporators & Crystallizers
Our SaltMaker modular evaporators and crystallizers turn almost any wastewater into clean water, minimal liquid discharge (MLD) brines or zero liquid discharge (ZLD) solids.
Mobile Fleet of SaltMaker Pilots Treats Demanding Wastewaters
November 20th, 2014
Saltworks Technologies’ fleet of mobile SaltMaker pilots spent the summer touring North America and producing freshwater from some of the world’s toughest waters.
May started with a pilot at a major USA landfill treating six different landfill wastewaters – the water that percolates through a landfill. Two other SaltMakers successfully treated shale gas produced waters in both Northern Canada and West Texas, producing freshwater for re-use and solids for waste volume minimization.
A fourth SaltMaker pilot spent the summer treating water from Alberta’s oil sands – the wastewater left over from steam-assisted gravity drainage (SAGD). This challenging wastewater would normally be disposed of in a disposal well.
“Four successful SaltMaker pilots in demanding applications where conventional systems have struggled proves the ruggedness and resilience of the SaltMaker platform,” stated Malcolm Man, Saltworks’ VP of Business Development. “All plants operated on varied water sources, reliably producing solids and freshwater 24-7.”
Saltworks is continuing to dispatch pilot units for field operation on varying wastewater sources and is accepting orders for full-size systems.

How to Manage Brine Disposal & Treatment
The many options for managing brine, a term for saline wastewater from industrial processes, fall under two categories: brine treatment and brine disposal. Brine treatment involves desalinating the brine for reuse and producing a concentrated brine (lower liquid waste volume), or residual solids (zero liquid discharge).
