Industrial wastewater treatment faces unprecedented challenges today. From tightening environmental regulations to soaring energy costs, industries urgently need solutions that balance efficiency, sustainability, and cost-effectiveness. Enter NTSALT's Disc Technology – a groundbreaking approach redefining evaporation efficiency for high-salt, high-COD, and toxic wastewater streams. 


The Growing Demand for Advanced Wastewater Treatment

Traditional evaporators, like tank-based systems, struggle with three critical flaws:

  1. High energy consumption (heating entire wastewater volumes).

  2. Inefficiency with complex waste (e.g., scaling in high-salt streams).

  3. Massive footprints (limiting plant flexibility).

NTSALT's disc technology addresses these pain points head-on, offering a compact, energy-smart alternative that handles even the toughest industrial effluents – from copper sulfate-laden mining wastewater to pharmaceutical COD-heavy residues.


Core Innovations Behind NTSALT's Disc Technology

1. Hollow Disc Design: Maximizing Surface Area

  • Corrosion-resistant materials: 316L stainless steel, SAF2507 duplex steel, or titanium alloys withstand aggressive chemicals (e.g., sulfuric acid in copper sulfate treatment).

  • Thin-film evaporation: Wastewater spreads into a micron-thin layer on rotating heated discs, vaporizing 20% faster than tank-based bulk heating.

2. Precision Scraping Mechanism

  • Automatically removes dried solids with ≤8% moisture – a stark improvement over the 15–20% residue from centrifuges or filter presses.

  • Self-cleaning discs prevent scaling, a common issue in high-TDS wastewater.

3. Closed-Loop Efficiency

  • Recovered vapor condenses into 99% COD-free distillate, reusable in processes or safe for discharge.

  • Heat exchangers recycle thermal energy, minimizing steam demand.


How It Works: The Disc Film Scraper Dryer Process

  1. Feeding: Wastewater is pumped onto rotating discs heated internally by steam or thermal oil.

  2. Instant Evaporation: The disc's high surface area vaporize water in seconds.

  3. Solid Recovery: A blade scrapes bone-dry solids (e.g., copper sulfate crystals) into a collection hopper.

  4. Distillate Harvesting: Pure water vapor condenses for reuse, while non-condensables are extracted.


5 Industries Transformed by Disc Technology

1. Mining/Metallurgy

  • Challenge: Acidic wastewater with heavy metals (e.g., copper sulfate from leaching).

  • Solution: Disc dryers recover >98% of copper as dry solids (≤8% moisture), while distillate meets discharge standards.

2. Chemical Manufacturing

  • Challenge: High-salinity brine (100,000+ ppm TDS) and organic solvents.

  • Solution: Thin-film evaporation prevents fouling, even with viscous or crystallizing streams.

3. Electroplating Wastewater

  • Challenge: Wastewater containing hazardous metals such as chromium, nickel, or zinc.

  • Solution: SAF2507 or titanium discs provide excellent corrosion resistance, enabling the conversion of metal-laden residues into stable, disposable solids.


4. Pharmaceuticals

  • Challenge: Antibiotic fermentation broth with COD >50,000 mg/L.

  • Solution: Low-temperature operation preserves heat-sensitive organics while achieving 99% COD removal.

5. Textile Dyeing

  • Challenge: High-color, high-ammonia wastewater.

  • Solution: Distillate clarity <10 NTU, enabling direct reuse in dye baths.

FAQs: Addressing Key Concerns

Q: Can it handle wastewater with 200,000 ppm TDS?

A: Yes. The thin-film design prevents salt buildup, making it ideal for hypersaline brine from RO reject or mining operations.

Q: What's the ROI for a mid-sized plant?

A: Most users achieve payback in 2–3 years via

Q: Is the system fully automated?

A: Yes. PLC controls adjust disc speed, temperature, and scraper pressure for hands-off operation.


The Future: Toward Zero Liquid Discharge (ZLD)

NTSALT's technology is a cornerstone for circular wastewater management:

  • Dry solids: Landfill-safe or recyclable (e.g., copper recovery).

  • Reusable water: Distillate meets boiler feed or process standards.

  • Carbon footprint: 50% lower CO₂ emissions vs. incineration or tank evaporation.


Conclusion

For industries battling complex wastewater, NTSALT's disc technology isn't just an upgrade – it's a paradigm shift. With unmatched efficiency, compact design, and versatility across waste streams, it's redefining what's possible in sustainable wastewater treatment.
