Industrial Wastewater Treatment & Volume Reduction Systems
Vacuum evaporators concentrate industrial wastewater and cut disposal volume by up to 95%, using heat-pump or steam-driven technology matched to your energy setup and configured by Tattika Srl.
Why Wastewater Volume Reduction Pays for Itself
Emulsions, condensates, reverse-osmosis concentrate, and spent process baths are expensive to dispose of, both in hauling fees and in the permitting burden that comes with hazardous or semi-hazardous liquid waste. Most facilities pay by the liter or cubic meter, with costs that scale directly with volume.
A vacuum evaporator attacks the problem at the source: it separates clean, often reusable distillate (in many cases dischargeable or reusable in the process) from a much smaller, concentrated residue. The result is the same wastewater problem at a fraction of the original volume, typically up to 95% less liquid to dispose of.
Evaporator Technologies Tattika Configures
- Heat pump evaporators: the heat pump is fully integrated, so no external thermal source is required. Suits SMEs and facilities without existing steam or hot water.
- Steam / hot water evaporators: for sites that already generate process steam or hot water, maximizing energy reuse.
- Mechanical vapor recompression (MVR): for higher throughput, energy-efficient continuous operation.
- Scraper (falling-film) evaporators: for wastewater with higher viscosity or a tendency to foul heat exchange surfaces.
Typical Numbers
- Volume reduction: up to 95%
- Disposal cost reduction: often cited at 90%+ once the plant is running
- Payback period: typically 12–24 months
- Deployment options: standalone units or full turnkey systems in insulated steel containers for constrained sites

How a Wastewater Evaporation Project Typically Runs
-
1
Characterize the liquid streams. Every wastewater stream in your facility (emulsions, condensates, spent baths, RO concentrate) is measured and chemically characterized.
-
2
Select the technology. Heat pump, MVR, scraper, or steam, chosen based on the physical-chemical properties of your specific streams rather than a fixed catalog option.
-
3
Sequence technologies if needed. Some streams benefit from a vacuum evaporator followed by a secondary concentrator or dryer to push volume reduction even further.
-
4
Pilot test and validate. Where useful, results are validated on a pilot system at Tattika's Vigonza (PD) facility before full-scale installation.
-
5
Install, commission, and support. The system is installed, tested on site, and followed up with ongoing monitoring and nationwide technical support.

If your facility also handles spent solvents alongside wastewater, solvent distillation can often run alongside evaporation as part of the same environmental strategy.

Reducing wastewater volume also supports compliance with the Italian Environmental Code (Legislative Decree 152/2006) and the EU Industrial Emissions Directive (2010/75/EU). Where treated water is intended for reuse, systems can also be configured against EU Regulation 2020/741 on minimum requirements for water reuse.
Tattika's engineers can review your current disposal costs and waste characterization data to estimate how much volume, and cost, a properly sized evaporator could remove from your operation.
