Engineered Solutions

Maxim Watermakers can design custom engineered units to satisfy fresh water needs for many applications.

A heat recovery evaporator isn’t just suitable for marine and offshore applications. Maxim heat recovery evaporators can be designed for land-based applications as well. If you have a source of waste heat, such as a gas fired turbine, waste incinerator, a reciprocating engine, or some other source, Maxim evaporators are the most energy efficient, economical, and environmentally friendly option available.

Thermal desalination plants are a preferred alternative for remote areas when waste heat is available. Our land-based desalination plants can be designed to meet the specific requirements dictated by your application.

Maxim Watermakers has worked with a number of clients on land-based applications, including: Holiday Inns, Bacardi & Co and Dynergy.

Maxim’s evaporators are a perfect match for use within industrial settings. Our thermo circulation design reduces scaling and lowers maintenance costs resulting in low operating costs. Water produced is high quality, containing less than 4 ppm of total dissolved solids, compared to other desalination technologies that produce water containing 200 to 500 ppm of total dissolved solids.

Industrial applications well suited for an evaporator include but are not limited to:

Boiler makeup water
High purity water for chemical processes
Bottled drinking water production
Cooling tower water

Maxim Watermakers also offers liquid waste concentrators. These units are built to meet the unique specifications of your project. The treatment method selected will be determined based on water chemistry, treatment volumes, and final use of the cleaned water.

Maxim will work with you to:

Identify your waste water management objectives
Identify usable waste heat sources and how to recover the waste heat
Evaluate the feed water available
Determine the clean water waste water treatment volumes required
Determine the end use of the recycled water
Construct a system that fits the requirements identified above

Maxim's technologies consist of chemical pretreatment, various forms of filtration, Reverse Osmosis, Distillation (heat recovery flash or mechanical vapor compression).

Liquid waste concentrators are ideal for:

Reclamation of oilfield waters
Mobile equipment capable of migrating with fracing operations
Fixed applications that can be located centrally to well sites creating produced water
Minimizes transportation and disposal costs
Lowers environmental risks of operators
Creates high quality clean water to be used in fracing and other drilling operations
Reduction of waste streams from chemical processes
Reduction of waste streams from manufacturing processes

The Tennessee Valley Infrastructure Group, the Marmara Power Plant in Turkey, and ITT in Antartica are just a few of the industrial clients served by Maxim Watermakers.
