Q: Is there a diagram to illustrate the overall process?
Q: Can you describe the process in detail?
Q: Why is there so little corrosion or fouling?
Q: What features contribute to the reliability and low maintenance of these systems?
Q: Why is the process energy-efficient?
Q: What form of energy does the dewvaporation process use?
Q: Can the dewvaporation process be applied to the removal of volatiles, including volatile organics, from contaminated water sources?
Q: What technical publications are available on the dewvaporation process?
A: Volatiles which are much more evaporative than water can be removed by evaporating a small fraction of the water source. The evaporation of a small fraction of the water source by a multiple effect further reduces the cost of reclamation. For example, dewvaporation was used to remove TCE from water at a contaminated well site, requiring the evaporation of only 5% of the water supply. That, coupled with a multiple effect of 10 or more, resulted in a reclamation operating cost of $0.15 per thousand gallons.
