Introducing AirBreather: A Lower Cost Evaporator
A low-cost and air-safe evaporator crystallizer has been developed: the SaltMaker AirBreather. It is based on the robust backbone of Saltworks’ SaltMaker Family.
It may not always be possible to process the freshwater generated by condensers and sometimes vapor release is preferable. When exploring open evaporation options, operators must consider air emission regulations and investment in future-proofing. Most open evaporators release volatiles from feed water and some small saline drift droplets.
Saltworks’ SaltMaker AirBreather is designed with clean air, clean water, and treatment economics at its core. With our patented, proven, and proprietary solutions, you can safely evaporate water vapor to the atmosphere. AirBreather:
An open evaporator is a significant capital investment. If considering one, you should understand the impacts of vapor plume volatile organic carbons (VOCs) and particulate on air emissions, as well as risks associated with regulations or stakeholder objections.
Optional Configuration & Waste Heat
SaltMaker AirBreather can be configured for optional freshwater return or guaranteed clean water vapor release. These methods are only disclosed to clients.
It operates more efficiently at lower temperatures compared to many traditional evaporation technologies, allowing the efficient reuse of lower-grade waste heat than previously possible.
However, it requires four times more thermal energy than the SaltMaker MultiEffect, therefore, it may be more suitable for projects where low-grade, low-cost heat is available.

Before investing in an industrial evaporator for your water treatment applications, lower your risks by asking any vendor the following five questions that cover key topics such as brine disposal, scale prevention, and cost of ownership.
The SaltMaker MultiEffect evaporator crystallizer is a one-step brine treatment plant for volume minimization and zero liquid discharge (ZLD) applications. Its unique evaporative crystallizer design is built to treat the toughest waters and to simplify your brine treatment project.
The many options for managing brine, a term for saline wastewater from industrial processes, fall under two categories: brine treatment and brine disposal. Brine treatment involves desalinating the brine for reuse and producing a concentrated brine (lower liquid waste volume), or residual solids (zero liquid discharge).
