Title: RSE ejects contaminated water at high velocities through a specialized nozzle into waste heat
Text: "Rapid Spray Evaporation: AquaSonics International has developed a Rapid Spray Evaporationâ„¢ (RSE) system of ejecting contaminated water at high velocities through a specialized injector-nozzle into waste heat... Water vaporizes within milliseconds of ejection, [and] the solids contained in the solution flash or separate out. The water vapor is condensed and collected while the precipitated solids form isolated crystalline particles, which are collected through a vacuum process and sold as a byproduct (AquaSonics 2003; Hodgson 2001)."
