EXPERIMENTAL ANALYSIS OF CORRUGATED FLATE PLATE COLLECTOR FOR EFFLUENT EVAPORATION

Many industrial processes produce effluents also termed as waste water which can cause damage to environment if not treated properly. Evaporation of water content of effluent results in reducing quantity of the stuff and also increases its concentration. A s the quantity of effluent is reduced it becomes easier to treat or dispose off in smaller area. Conventionally such effluent is dried naturally in the ponds with Sun and the Wind. In few cases the evaporation is accelerated with use of external heating so urces as well as using fans and blowers to create air movement and agitation. Use of aerators or sprays is also employed for increasing surface area of the effluent which aids in evaporation. All such measures consume extra auxiliary power.So, it is essent ial to increase aperture area by using corrugated flat plate collector which will overcome all these problems, will have higher rate of evaporation and disposal of effluent.
