Mark Fregeau, CEOEnter ENCON Evaporators (ENCON).
“Our laser focus on evaporator technology for over three decades enables us to engineer products with superior design, safety and efficiency for almost every use case prevalent in the market,” says Mark Fregeau, CEO of ENCON.
The company’s product line includes thermal evaporators, vacuum evaporators, mechanical vapor recompression evaporators (MVC), continuous flow evaporators (CFE) and drum evaporators/dryers.
Thermal evaporators use heat to evaporate water, leaving contaminants behind, and are known for their reliability and ease of use. Vacuum evaporators, by lowering the boiling point of water, reduce energy consumption and are ideal for clients looking to optimize energy use while effectively treating wastewater.
MVC technology uses mechanical compression to recycle vapor energy, significantly reducing operational costs. This method is highly efficient and is used in industries with large volumes of wastewater. Designed for continuous operation, CFE evaporators are perfect for processes that require consistent and efficient wastewater treatment. Drum evaporators/dryers evaporate water and dry the remaining sludge, reducing waste volume and disposal costs.
At the heart of ENCON’s product portfolio is its state-of-the-art evaporation technology designed to maximize efficiency and minimize operational costs. Its systems incorporate energy recovery, advanced controls, and high-efficiency heat exchangers.
Apart from feature-rich innovations, ENCON’s products are more cost-effective than industry-standard options and readily available for a wide range of industries, like metal finishing, reverse osmosis (RO) rejects, spent coolant, and pharmaceutical manufacturing.
All products are manufactured in the U.S. and are quality control inspected at ENCON before being crated and shipped. They are designed to operate off-shift and unattended to minimize workforce requirements and cost. The company’s engineers provide additional support and are always available to work with clients to qualify their applications based on ENCON lab and pilot-scale testing. The ENCON approach is consultative, with a special focus on providing solutions with financial justification and regulatory compliance.
ENCON’s service excellence was put to test recently when it helped a hazardous waste landfill in the U.S. This client hauled 1,200,000 gallons per year of excess landfill leachate to a treatment, storage and disposal facilities (TSDF) treatment facility for $0.57/gallon and wished to reduce or eliminate this additional cost. The situation is particularly tricky as landfill leachate varies in composition and volume over time.

The company came in at the right time and implemented a custom design to address the situation. Its evaporation solution resulted in a 93% reduction in leachate volume and ended the need to haul liquid leachate. More importantly, the project is estimated to pay back its total installed cost in less than 2.5 years, highlighting the effectiveness of ENCON’s systems.
ENCON continues to focus on innovation, quality, and customer satisfaction to develop technologies that address clients’ ever-evolving needs. Its innovative products, customized solutions, and unwavering commitment to customer satisfaction make it a top choice for companies seeking efficient and cost-effective wastewater management solutions.
