Revitalizing the Hydrological Cycle: VLS Innovative Approach to Wastewater Management with Evaporation Ponds
At VLS, we're harnessing nature's power to transform waste management. Our cutting-edge evaporation ponds are at the forefront of sustainable wastewater treatment, playing a pivotal role in the hydrological cycle.
These ponds utilize sunlight and wind to promote the natural process of evaporation, converting liquid water into vapor, which is then returned to the atmosphere. This method is not only energy-efficient but also significantly reduces the volume of wastewater, making it a cost-effective solution for many industries.
Our evaporation ponds are particularly beneficial in managing brine water—a byproduct of various industrial processes. Conventional methods of brine disposal often pose environmental challenges. However, our approach prioritizes environmental responsibility, mitigating potential impacts while maximizing efficiency.
Furthermore, we understand that every wastewater stream is unique. That's why we provide bespoke solutions tailored to your specific needs. Our team of experts conducts thorough analyses of your wastewater characteristics and site conditions to design and implement the most effective treatment system.
We're committed to driving sustainability in wastewater management. Partner with VLS to leverage the power of evaporation ponds, and join us in our mission to create a more sustainable future.

Brine Water Evaporation and Disposal
At VLS, we're transforming waste brine water management with our specialized evaporative ponds. Here's how:
- Efficient Operations: Our 4-acre facility is dedicated solely to managing waste brine water from industrial water treatment sources.
- Cost-Effective Solution: Evaporation is proven to be the most efficient and cost-effective method for handling large volumes of waste brine, outperforming other treatment and disposal options.
- Sustainable Approach: Our process aligns with our commitment to sustainability and environmental responsibility.
Our Water Treatment Process
Our water treatment process is as follows:
We treat your non-hazardous wastewater with a charged neutralization system. This system involves treating the water with three-stage air flotation technology.
- Through our three-stage air flotation system, we can process up to 250 gallons of water in a single minute. Our average processing rate is around 110,000 gallons per day.
- We then collect the waste drawn out of your water and send it to a Subtitle C landfill, which is a landfill that handles hazardous waste in the safest way possible.
- We also offer single-stream treatment that can be customized to treat individual waste streams. Whatever your non-hazardous water waste treatment requirements, you can work with our expert team to create a plan that’s right for your treatment and sustainability needs.
