Patent attributes
A method and system of wastewater evaporation uses a turbine-based wastewater evaporation system to convert wastewater to steam on the job site at or near the location where the wastewater is produced. The wastewater evaporation system includes a turbine system that heats wastewater within the turbine exhaust collector that is atomized and converted into steam in the presence of turbine exhaust within the turbine exhaust port for discharge. The system may be disposed on a mobile trailer to facilitate disposing on the job site and may be remotely controllable for use by a remote operator. Because the wastewater is disposed of on site, the method and system of wastewater evaporation does not require the use of storage, pipeline or trucking resources, or disposal facilities, and potentially does not require on-site personnel, thereby reducing the costs associated with the disposal of produced wastewater and increasing the economic feasibility of exploration and production operations.
