US Patent 11353238 Ultrasonic condensate neutralization and disposal system

A system and method for the treatment and disposal of condensate, particularly acidic combustion condensate, are provided. A neutralizer connected with respect to a condensate flow can be used to treat the condensate flow to provide a supply of neutralized condensate to a transfer chamber. Neutralized condensate can be conveyed from the transfer chamber to an ultrasonic atomizer such as via capillary action by way of a wicking assembly. The ultrasonic atomizer is used to produce an atomized neutralized condensate that can be directly discharged or released at a controlled rate, decoupled from condensate generation, and appropriately disposed or utilized (e.g., humidification).
