72-06: Industrial Waste Water Reclamation

Water is vital to industry in processing raw materials, manufacturing goods and providing services. In use, however, the water often becomes polluted, and disposing of the wastewater raises environmental problems. 
A novel evaporative process has been developed for reclaiming waste industrial water efficiently, effectively, and economically. A develop­mental installation at an El Paso Natural Gas Company compressor station at El Paso, Texas, has demonstrated excellent results in reclaiming lowdown water from cooling towers.
