Saltworks Technologies has doubled the capacity of its modular evaporative crystallizer with the launch of the SaltMaker MVR-30—a forced-circulation mechanical vapor recompression (MVR) system developed for reliability, intelligent automation, and cost efficiency.
The SaltMaker MVR-30 builds on Saltworks’ proven MVR-15 technology, delivering double the evaporation capacity at 30 tons per hour (TPH). It fully integrates into Saltworks’ modular process flows to deliver unmatched zero liquid discharge (ZLD) performance.
The U.S. Patent Office recently granted Saltworks a patent for its intelligent self-diagnosis and self-correction digital operations system. This is in addition to Saltworks’ previously granted patent that enables the MVR-30 to clean while operating, boost uptime and reduces demand for boil-outs and chemical cleans.
These patents, combined with the advanced process control technology embedded in the SaltMaker, deliver a system to customers that is less prone to scaling, minimizes maintenance requirements, and incorporates intelligent automation—a true “thinking machine” for industrial water treatment.
Unlike traditional evaporation systems that require costly field assembly, Saltworks’ MVR-30 is factory-built and commissioned, enabling rapid installation while reducing project risk. The system includes built-in redundancy with the option to add units as production expands.
At its core is Saltworks’ patented technology that enables intelligent monitoring, corrective action, and periodic effect swapping—disrupting salinity gradients and preventing scale formation. These innovations minimize cleaning frequency, system downtime, and chemical use while maintaining continuous performance.
The increased product capacity is in response to significant demand for Saltworks’ end-to-end industrial water treatment systems by industry majors. The MVR-30 enables ZLD for applications in:
