WAIV Evaporation System
WAIV® is a proven technology developed for the desalination industry for the evaporation of high TDS brine. It has been adapted specifically for the evaporation of leachate and other industrial wastewaters to be treated on site. Serious adaptability based on its design, footprint and core features
WAIV® creates a high density of wetted surface area within a very small footprint. With both the fixed WAIV or transportable tWAIV, wind or artificial wind naturally passing through the sails causes intensified and rapid evaporation of large amounts of liquid. Low to Zero energy with industry low O&M in many cases the ultimate fit for many operations challenged with leachate and wastewater disposal
How WAIV Works
Wastewater is Evaporated Without Airborne Mist and Is Amplified Exponentially
A WAIV® unit consists of a small framed open or contained structure with a large number of specialized sails designed specifically for intense evaporation. The wastewater is distributed across the top of each sail where natural forces evaporate liquids in a safe, dual contained, simple system
Fully Automated System Distributes Liquids With Remote Monitoring Dashboard
Remotely Operated, WAIV continuously evaporates while monitored remotely via telematics
Low to Zero Power Consumption + Very Simple Long-term O&M
Leachate & Wastewater are Disposed of On Site.
PROCESS FLOW DIAGRAM
A WAIV® unit consists of a small framed structure with a large number of specialized sails designed specifically for this application. The wastewater is distributed across the top of each sail where three natural forces act on the liquid:
​
-
Gravity naturally pulls the liquid downward onto the sails.
-
Capillary action generated by the hydrophilic nature of the sail draws the liquid laterally and spreads it out across the large surface area.
-
Wind (even at slow speeds) naturally passing through the gaps in the sails causes intensified and rapid evaporation of large amounts of liquid.
WAIV is a Low to ZERO Energy Evaporation System With Little O&M
WAIV Benefits
A Rather Huge Advancement in Evaporation
Single Fixed WAIV Unit
Unit Features
Evaporates between 800,000 - 3 million Gallons per year depending on add-ons and location
Few moving parts for less to go wrong. Think of it like a vertical, small footprint, jacked up evaporation pond that won't leak
One of the simplest, most effective evaporation systems ever designed, results in ultra lost cost per gallon leachate/wastewater disposal
Minimal operations and maintenance with remote telemetry dashboard
Works with most liquids, including high TDS brine and takes up a small footprint on your site
Scalable design with unprecedented flexibility. Can be added too or relocated if needed, whether volumes of liquid increase or decrease
Low to Zero energy demand if coupled with solar and battery package

WAIV IS
Predictable
We have proven, predictive modelling based on your sites specifics and plug information into intuitive data & modelling. It's about 96% accurate, with safeguards in place to ensure meeting or exceeding leachate disposal targets, giving you complete control of your leachate and costs
​
Total Disposal and O&M Can be as Low as $.025 CPG​
Could WAIV be a Major Solution Long Term for Your Site?
FAQ's
What types of Waste-water can WAIV process?
​
Pretty Much Any
What environments can WAIV work in?​
​
Pretty Much Any. We've tested in some challenging conditions. All modelling is done with data based on site criteria and modelled Pan Evaporation rate.
What about sites with Heavy Rainfall?​
​
A WAIV system is affected little by precipitation. The size is far smaller than a pond. Rain is one of the areas covered in predictive modelling.
What types of Waste-water can WAIV process?
​
Pretty Much Any. A quick analysis will tell us what's necessary. The tech was developed for high TDS brine so essentially it can take tough liquids.
How much liquid can a single WAIV unit evaporate?​
​​
It's modular so you can do easy math multiples per unit. Dependant on site and Pan-evaporation modelling a single unit can evaporate between .8 and 3 million gallons per year or 2000 - 6000 gpd. Our newest models being tested in the market should increase rates by 20 - 50%.
Is there potential drift?​
No spray, no mists, no aerosols. Safeguards won't allow any leachate to hit the ground outside the capture area.
What about permitting?​
​
WAIV is a fundamental technology that is better and less risk adverse than most.. Systems are on footprint, spray nothing into the air and have sufficient soil and groundwater safeguards. LMS will meet with the regulators on your behalf. So far, few issues.
How to know what WAIV can do for your site?​
​
We plug in your data to our data modelling. That will tell us a safe range of annual evaporation and it's 96% accurate. You'll know out of the gate how much liquids you can evaporate and with our OPEX model you're risk is nil.
