Tecnología de evaporación del agua
Minetek provides the largest and most cost-effective water management solution globally. Our patented system evaporates wastewater efficiently, cost-effectively, and sustainably.
Designed for versatility, our units can process varying water qualities with a broad range of PH levels and solids diameters. Evaporation solutions provide an economical alternative to traditionally high disposal costs in water management in the oil and gas industry, reducing the need for storage and transport costs, all while helping operators meet strict compliance and regulatory requirements.
Zero Liquid Discharge Option
Many oil and gas operations do not have the licence to discharge into nearby bodies of water as governments and environmental protection agencies are highly sensitive to the contamination of scarce water sources. Minetek’s closed-loop Zero Liquid Discharge (ZLD) system separates water back into the natural water cycle to meet environmental KPIs and ZLD agreements.
Process Water Disposal
Process water contains contaminants from industrial processing activities and often comes into contact with raw materials, chemicals or equipment. This water needs to be treated or disposed of in an environmentally responsible manner. Minetek’s evaporation technology is a cost-effective and supplementary solution to water treatment, ensuring compliance with stringent environmental regulations.
Produced Water Disposal
Produced water is naturally occurring or extracted as a by-product of oil and gas production. Often found in reservoirs along with oil and gas deposits, water is brought to the surface during drilling or extraction. Produced water can contain hydrocarbons, minerals, salts, and other substances picked up from underground formations. Minetek’s water management solution ensures compliance with environmental regulations while maximising operational efficiency.
Saline and Brine Disposal
A menudo presente en la industria del petróleo y el gas y como subproducto específico del proceso de ósmosis inversa, el agua salobre representa un reto importante y costoso para los operadores industriales. El resultado es un subproducto altamente salino que no puede devolverse al medio ambiente debido a los altos niveles de contaminantes y sólidos disueltos totales (TDS). Los evaporadores Minetek pueden procesar agua con altos niveles de Sólidos Disueltos Totales (TDS) y Sólidos Suspendidos Totales (TSS) y un rango de pH tan bajo como 1,8 y tan alto como 14.
Our oil and gas solutions offer versatility and a cost-effective solution to achieving brine water disposal without the need for pre-treatment.

Zero Liquid Discharge
Water waste isn't an option in high-stakes environments. Zero Liquid Discharge (ZLD) systems push performance further by recovering almost every drop. Designed for tough regulatory conditions and remote operations, ZLD reduces environmental risk and cuts disposal costs. Explore the most common ZLD questions.
Zero liquid discharge eliminates wastewater discharge entirely, helping operations meet strict environmental standards. It reduces the risk of fines, limits environmental impact, and recovers valuable resources like water and solids for reuse.
ZLD is achieved by removing all water from waste streams until only solid residue remains. Minetek mechanical evaporation systems accelerate this process by reducing large water volumes on site, without needing chemicals or complex pre-treatment.
ZLD is not yet mandatory in all industries, but it’s increasingly required in regions with strict water regulations or limited water availability. Many companies adopt it proactively to improve sustainability and avoid future regulatory pressure.
Growing pressure from agencies like the U.S. EPA and global environmental bodies is pushing industries to reduce or eliminate liquid waste. Regulations targeting heavy metals, acid mine drainage, and brine discharge make ZLD a practical and proactive solution.
Mining, power generation, oil and gas, and industrial processing all benefit from ZLD. These sectors manage high-contaminant water and face strict discharge limits, making efficient volume reduction and onsite control critical.
Challenges include high energy demands, complex installation, and capital cost. Minetek modular evaporation systems overcome these with low-power operation, easy deployment, and scalable design across diverse industry conditions.
Operators need only basic mechanical skills. Minetek provides hands-on training, remote support, and full commissioning services, ensuring systems are easy to run, troubleshoot, and maintain with minimal oversight.
Once water is removed, remaining solids are collected for compliant disposal or reuse. These residues, often metal salts or sludges, can be managed using standard waste handling equipment already present on site.
Weather impacts evaporation rates. Minetek EMS-enabled systems adapt in real time to wind, temperature, and humidity changes, maintaining consistent performance year-round, even in extreme climates.
Operators rely on Minetek Environmental Management System (EMS) to track performance, water levels, and environmental data. Integrated alerts, automated adjustments, and minimal manual intervention ensure reliable uptime with low maintenance.
