Brine Concentrators



Brine Concentrator at AES Ironwood

Turn industrial waste streams into valuable resources

RCC™ Brine Concentrator systems from GE Water & Process Technologies let you recover wastewater for a variety of uses and can help you achieve zero liquid discharge. Our seeded-slurry, falling-film evaporators produce distilled water from highly saturated industrial waste streams such as:

Boiler blowdown
Cooling tower blowdown
Demineralizer waste
Electrodialysis reversal (EDR) reject
Flue gas desulphurization (FGD) waste
Landfill leachate
Low-level radioactive waste
Mine drainage
Oilfield produced water
Plant drains
Reverse osmosis (RO) reject
Salty effluents
Scrubber blowdown
Softener waste

You recover 95 to 99 percent of the wastewater as high-purity distillate (<10 mg/l TDS) for boiler makeup, NOx control, cooling tower makeup, or plant processes. GE will custom design a system for your maximum benefit, using an extensive chemistry database and design innovations built on decades of experience. Our systems offer:

Energy-efficiency up to 30 times higher than single-effect steam-driven systems.
Flexible operation on a variety of heat sources.
High reliability and availability
Effective scale-control technology

We design systems for flows as large as 1,000 gpm and as small as 5 gpm.

Benefits To You
Reduced water consumption
Reduced disposal and sewerage costs
High energy efficiency
