ater is reco1ered from the cr$stalli>er for rec$cling& A cr$stalli>er ma$ also reco1er specific
salts from a mi?ed salt aste stream& #he cr$stalli>er is a forced circulation e1aporator hich
uses a mechanical 1apor compressor or plant steam as the energ$ source&

When a cr$stalli>er is not appropriate the spra$ dr$er is another method for deatering the
concentrated slurr$ left o1er from the brine concentrator& #he spra$ dr$er transforms the
slurr$ into a fine poder of mi?ed salts for disposal& #he spra$ dr$er atomi>es the asteater
slurr$ inside a hot chamber instantl$ 1apori>ing the ater droplets and lea1ing onl$ dr$ salts
