OUR RANGE OF WASTEWATER CRYSTALLIZERS
At Condorchem Enviro Solutions, we design and manufacture industrial crystallizers for the treatment of wastewater and sludge.
Vacuum crystallizers offer excellent performance when integrated into zero liquid discharge (ZLD) systems, as they deliver the following results:
- Maximum reduction of final waste requiring disposal, minimizing transportation and disposal costs.
- Maximum recovery of high-quality water suitable for reuse.
- Recovery of salts and other valuable resources present in industrial effluents.
- Less storage space is required at the facilities, and smaller volumes need to be transported to waste management plants, reducing collection frequency and transportation costs.
- Full assurance of compliance with regulations governing industrial wastewater discharge.
Summary table of our models
| Model | Nominal capacity | Specific electricity consumption (kWh/m³ of distillate) | Technology | Number of effects | Evaporation temperature | Boiler arrangement |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| DESALT LT VR | 0,25-3,50 m³/day | 220 | Heat pump (Freon R-513A) | 1 | ≈ 35 °C | Vertical truncated-conical with scraper |
| DESALT LT DRY | 0,25-1,00 m³/day | 270 | Heat pump (Freon R-513A) | 1 | ≈ 35 °C | Horizontal |
| DESALT MVR FC | 14,40-60,00 m³/day | 64 | Mechanical vapor recompression (MVR). Forced circulation (FC) |
1 | ≈ 90 °C | Vertical truncated-conical |
| DESALT MFE-1 | 20,00-100,00 m³/day | N/A | Evaporation with thermal energy. Forced circulation (FC) |

CRYSTALLIZERS IN ZERO LIQUID DISCHARGE SYSTEMS
Vacuum crystallizers play a fundamental role in Zero Liquid Discharge (ZLD) systems, as they enable the treatment of concentrated brines produced during all previous treatment stages.
These brines contain high levels of dissolved salts and other contaminants that conventional treatment technologies often struggle to manage.

Vacuum crystallizers help recover additional water and convert dissolved salts into solid crystals, minimizing the final concentrate and enabling the recovery of valuable resources.
This treatment efficiency makes wastewater crystallizers particularly valuable in the following scenarios:
- When wastewater discharge is not permitted.
- When water reuse is a priority.
- When external waste management costs are high.
- To eliminate or minimize on-site waste storage and handling.
- To ensure compliance with wastewater discharge regulations.
Beyond wastewater treatment, crystallization can contribute to the recovery of valuable salts and raw materials. Under suitable operating conditions, it can produce high-purity crystals, enabling resource recovery and the purification of industrial products.
