Abstract
The invention disclosed herein includes apparatus and a method for enhancing the evaporation rate of leachate from leachate evaporator ponds. The HIAP apparatus and method promotes enhances evaporation by providing heat from high powered industrial heat lamps that direct heated air and heat energy across the air/leachate liquid interface of the evaporator pond surface to increase the evaporation rate of leachate from the evaporator pond.
Claims9
A leachate treatment system comprising:
- a leachate pond containing a leachate;
- a frame arranged around and/or above the surface of the leachate pond;
- and
- at least one heat lamp secured to the frame and positioned close enough to the surface air-leachate interface surface such that the application of heat energy from the heat lamp across the air-leachate interface surface of the leachate pond accelerates the evaporation rate of the leachate contained in the leachate pond.
