Water Eater®
Electric Heated Water Evaporators
Equipment Manufacturing Company (EMC®) manufactures two electrically heated wastewater evaporators. Electric waste evaporators are simple to install and operate needing only an electrical connection and water vapor exhaust stack.
The Model 85E evaporates approximately five gallons of water per hour and has an 85 gallon holding tank. It is through floor heated and uses strip heating elements attached to the underside of the floor. This makes the 85E easy to clean out and able to evaporate almost all of the water in the fluid. The 85E is normally recommended if you have less than 50 gallons per day of water to dispose of.
The Model 125E evaporates approximately twelve gallons of water per hour and has a 125 gallon holding tank. It uses immersion elements that directly heat the fluid. The Model 125E is useful for applications that need a higher evaporation rate and do not have access to natural gas or propane.

| * - Evaporation rate is affected by ambient temperature and humidity, altitude, solids on heat exchanger, floating materials, chemicals/ minerals which may raise the solution boiling point, exhaust restrictions, building pressure differential, low voltage, gas pressure, etc. ** - Materials of Construction: The standard tank is carbon steel. The 316L Stainless Steel option includes the floor, inner side walls, top tank frame, rear decking, exhaust stack, drain & fill couplings. All material sizes (gauges & diameters) remain the same. | ||
