Mining, Wastewater & Industrial Water Management

The PittBoss evaporator is widely used across industries requiring efficient water evaporation and disposal, including:

  • Mining operations – tailings ponds, process water, pit dewatering
  • Oil & Gas – produced water and brine management
  • Landfills & leachate management
  • Industrial wastewater treatment plants
  • Food processing and agriculture
  • Chemical and process industries

Its ability to evaporate high-solid-content and contaminated water makes it particularly valuable in mining environments where disposal options are limited.

Why Choose PittBoss™

The system enhances evaporation by drawing in dry air, creating surface agitation, and increasing droplet surface area, accelerating the natural evaporation cycle while retaining contaminants safely in the pond.

  • Evaporation capacity of up to ~49 litres per minute (depending on environmental conditions)
  • Operates efficiently across varying temperature, humidity, and wind conditions
  • Designed to meet strict environmental and regulatory standards
  • Supports zero liquid discharge (ZLD) strategies
  • Promotes natural evaporation by increasing surface area and air interaction
  • Optional integration with weather monitoring and control systems

Frequently asked questions

The PittBoss™ floating evaporator is designed for efficient water reduction in mining, industrial, and wastewater environments. It is commonly used for tailings ponds, pit dewatering, produced water, leachate management, and contaminated water storage ponds where fast and reliable evaporation is required.

Unlike traditional evaporators, the PittBoss uses advanced boundary layer disturbance technology to increase air-to-water interaction and accelerate natural evaporation. Because it operates without pumps or spray nozzles, it reduces maintenance, avoids clogging issues, and improves reliability in high-solids water applications.

The PittBoss is highly effective for mining operations because it can handle dirty water, slurry ponds, tailings storage facilities, and pit water without the blockages common in spray-based systems. Its durable floating platform and low-maintenance design make it ideal for harsh remote mining environments.

A sprayer-less floating evaporator offers lower operating costs, reduced downtime, less maintenance, and improved efficiency. With no nozzles or pumps to service, the PittBoss helps businesses lower labour costs while achieving consistent evaporation performance.

Yes. The PittBoss is engineered to support responsible wastewater management by helping reduce stored liquid volumes while retaining contaminants safely in the pond. It can also support zero liquid discharge (ZLD) strategies and help operations meet environmental and regulatory requirements.
