Mobile EvaporatorTreat Shale Gas Flowback and Produced Water at the Well Site

Product OverviewGE’s new, completely mobilized evaporator is designed to enable

onsite flowback and produced water recycling, reducing the

volume of wastewater and fresh water that needs to be hauled

to and from the site. The mobile evaporator will enable natural

gas producers to significantly decrease their transportation and

disposal costs. Additionally, the communities will benefit from

less truck traffic and decreased wear and tear on local roads.

The mobile evaporator is a 50 gallon per minute (gpm),

truck-mounted, mechanical vapor recompression (MVR)

system. It features a well proven and robust, horizontal

shell and tube, forced circulation evaporator.

Typical ApplicationsThrough its robust design and compact footprint, the mobile

evaporator will be able to treat all types of unconventional gas

wastewater streams throughout the world, including shale

gas produced water applications and coal bed/seam methane

applications.

Regions like the Marcellus Shale are unique in that they produce

very high TDS flowback and produced water, have limited deep well

capacity and increasingly stringent discharge regulations.

General PropertiesThe mobile evaporator provides greater reliability, higher

on-stream availability, lower power consumption, and reduced

fouling of heat exchange surfaces as compared to systems

currently in use for oil and gas well return water recycling. The

mobile evaporator is a truck-mounted design that fits within one

standard trailer—a truly mobile system with straightforward setup

and operation.

Key Properties Include:

energy costs by approximately 35%

equipment included within the trailer

clearance for remote site access

Operation

— Fully operational, producing distillate/concentrate

in 3.0–5.5 hrs

— Variation depends on feedwater temperature

(38°F–90°F design)

— Remote monitoring

— All critical parameters (amp, temp, pressures) have alarm
