Award-Winning Controlled AtmosphereSeparation Technology CAST

Our versatile, award-winning CAST technology can be utilized as

an effective stand-alone wastewater, chemical, or nutrient recovery

system, or as part of an integrated plant-wide recovery solution. The

CAST wastewater and chemistry recovery system reduces your costs by

recovering your process chemistry for reuse or recycle and eliminating

most of your costly disposal of hazardous waste or process effluent.

Our Zero-Liquid-Discharge (ZLD) Systems can recover nearly 100% of

your valuable chemical resources or wastewater for immediate

reuse of recycling at your facility with no liquid leaving your facility.

CAST concentrates mixed hazardous waste down to as little as 5%

of its original volume for economical disposal or reclaim. This patented

technology is designed and constructed to exceed the demands of

harsh chemical environments.

Typical Applications Include: Ammonia (nitrogen) Recovery

from municipal, industrial and

agricultural wastewaters

Aircraft Deicing Fluids and Antifreeze

Recovery from glycol and glycol /

glycerin containing wastewaters

Zero-Liquid-Discharge wastewater recycle/reuse and elimination

of a discharge

BOD removal and subsequent recovery of sugars, proteins,

starches and yeast as a salable product

Recycling of valuable chemical resources (electroplating solutions,

acids, alkaline cleaners and coolants)

Recovery of industrial chemicals including VOCs, ketones,

dissolved gases, alcohols, glycols, solvent etc.

Concentrating process solutions for cost-effective reclamation

of precious metals, e.g. gold, silver, platinum

Direct replacement of atmospheric evaporators and

vacuum evaporators

Why Our Industrial SolutionsAre Better

Maximum Sustainability, Minimum WasteWith ThermoEnergy, you wont just treat your wastewater, you will

recover the value in it. We separate feed stocks that other water

treatment companies typically dispose of as waste and return them

to you to reuse or recycle. Our solutions are the most cost-effective

and environmentally responsible methods of water treatment on the

market today.

Superior TechnologyOur CAST and RCAST technologies can process more contaminates,

from metals to organics, with less pre-treatment than other

technologies. Both CAST and RCAST are based on vacuumassisted flash distillation, an efficient physical separation method.

Higher ROIThermoEnergys Industrial Solutions offer a solid return on your

investment. They are easy to operate and maintain. That can mean

payback of your initial investment in two years and continued

savings and efficiency for years to come.

Minimal EmissionsOur CAST and RCAST technologies are enclosed systems, which

means minimal air emissions. And because we recover in additionto simply treat, we have much lower greenhouse gases emissions.

Only ThermoEnergy offers a written EPA RCRA exemption for our

Zero Liquid Discharge system.

ThermoEnergys Ammonia

Recovery Process (ARP) is so

efficient that the City of New

York has announced it will

use it to prevent 2.4 million

pounds per year of ammonia

from entering Jamaica Bay.

Why Our Municipal and AgriculturalWastewater Recovery Systems

Are BetterMaximum Results Unparalleled SustainabilityAt ThermoEnergy, we dont just treat wastewater we recover the

value in it. Our Ammonia Recovery Process (ARP) can recover 80%

or more of the ammonia in digestate streams, and reuse or recycle

the ammonia as ammonium sulfate fertilizer.

Superior Technology With a Smaller Footprint

ThermoEnergy solutions are far more efficient and cost-effective

than traditional technologies. Our Ammonia Recovery System offers

lower capital and operating costs along with a much smaller footprint

than other nutrient treatment technologies. As a retrofit to an existing

wastewater plant, our ARP system can reduce or eliminate the need

for enhanced nitrogen removal.

Significantly Lower Operating and

Capital CostsThermoEnergy systems are easy to operate and maintain. Because

they are manufactured, you avoid the capital costs associated

with the design and construction of in-place systems. And because

we recover ammonia rather than just treating it, your costs are

significantly lower.A number of states have already adapted a nutrient credit and

trading system for ammonia, and the trend is expected to

accelerate. This offers another revenue stream in addition to

ammonium nitrate fertilizer recovery and accelerates the payback

on the ThermoEnergy ARP.

Minimal EmissionsOur CAST and RCAST technologies are enclosed systems.

That means they produce minimal air emissions. Because our

systems recover rather than just treat, they create much-lower

levels of greenhouse gas emissions.

Manufacturing and LaboratoryFacilitiesThermoEnergy has a 20,000 square foot manufacturing and

technology development facility in Worcester, Massachusetts.

It features a 2,600 square foot chemical bench-scale test

laboratory and three pilot systems: a 1 gpm system, a 10 gpm

system and a full-scale 400 gpm system. Because we manufacture

our own systems, our solutions are less expensive and more reliable

than systems engineered and constructed in place. As a result,

our wastewater treatment systems can:

Lower your operating costs

Improve process performance

Recover valuable process chemistry for recycle and reuse

Recover wastewater for use as process water

Reduce or eliminate costly regulatory compliance

In-House Laboratory Testing and PilotSystems: The Importance of Testingand Process ModelingWith its diverse services and modeling techniques, the ThermoEnergy

laboratory sets the standard for testing and modeling within the

water treatment industry. Clients are encouraged to send samples

for detailed evaluation and treatment modeling. We use bench-scale

filtration, distillation, ion exchange and membrane screening

to process the samples and choose the appropriate technology.

Results are tabulated in a formal report that clearly outlines each

unit operation and details the recommended treatment process.

Isolates are obtained after every treatment step and are normally

returned to the customer for reevaluation and third party validation.

Our lab also offers basic analytical testing, such a minerals, metals

and standard wet-chemical methods. Testing of more complex

analysis is available from a network of subcontract labs at very

competitive rates.

ThermoEnergy recognizes the uniqueness of each process stream

and therefore advises modeling each separation process before

recommending a specific treatment plan to a client. There are

a number of distinct advantages to laboratory and field pilot

testing, including:

Application Validation

Hands-on client experience with field pilot equipment

Confirmation of operating costs
