The most common industrial method for reducing the amount of waste generated by an aqueous ultrasonic cleaning system is with the use of wastewater evaporators. Since the vast majority of waste generated by an ultrasonic cleaning system is water, waste can typically be reduced by 90-95%. This will drastically reduce disposal costs by traditional means and in many cases, the remaining waste can be disposed of as solid waste which completely eliminates the need for liquid waste disposal. Typical non-flammable wastes than can be disposed of include:

• Machine Coolants
• Parts Washer
• Compressor Water
• Mop Waters
• Ink Washup
• Rinse Waters
• Tumbling & Vibratory Solutions
• Photographic Solutions
• Steam Cleaner Waters
• Pressure Washer
• Die Cast Solutions
• Paint Washup
• RO/UF Concentrates
• Phosphatizing Compounds
• Plating Solutions
• Hot Tank Solutions

When the cleaning and rinsing fluids in one of our ultrasonic cleaning systems require replacement, the waste liquids can be pumped directly into the holding tank of the evaporator.  Therefore, the evaporator holding tank volume should be larger than the combined volume of liquid in all of the tanks in the cleaning system.  Our Pump Drain System option should be added to the cleaning system purchased for the most convenient operation by using control panel switches to drain the tanks into the evaporator.  The wastewater evaporator does not typically need to run continuously but rather only when waste requires disposal.
