🏆 INNOVATOR OF THE MONTH — UNEARTHED SOLUTIONS
Unearthed Solutions, a leading mining innovation platform, has selected Evaporation King LLC as its featured Innovator of the Month, recognizing the company’s groundbreaking approach to industrial wastewater disposal.
Meet Kevin King — The Evaporation King
When the mining industry faces some of its toughest water challenges — contaminated wastewater that can’t be treated or discharged through conventional means — Kevin King and his team at Evaporation King LLC have a solution. A mechanical one. A permanent one. And now, a globally recognized one.
WHAT THEY DO
Mechanical Evaporation, Engineered for the Hardest Problems
Evaporation King delivers mechanical wastewater evaporation systems purpose-built for permanent, cost-effective disposal of industrial wastewater — the kind that simply cannot be treated or discharged by conventional means.
Their signature technology deploys high-performance atomisers mounted on pontoons, operating directly within existing pond footprints. This means zero need for additional land, minimal site disruption, and a scalable system that handles complex, high-volume wastewater streams with impressive efficiency.
“They are class-leading in their ability to manage variable water quality and turbidity — a critical differentiator when every mining site presents unique challenges.”

WHY IT MATTERS
A Critical Solution for the Mining Industry’s Water Problem
Mining projects — particularly rare earth producers — routinely generate large volumes of complex wastewater containing dissolved metals, acids, and other contaminants that defy conventional treatment. For these operations, water disposal isn’t just an operational headache. It can be a showstopper for permitting, financing, and long-term viability.
Evaporation King’s technology changes that equation entirely. By providing a low-footprint, pontoon-deployed disposal option that works within existing infrastructure, they remove one of the industry’s most persistent barriers to project development and expansion.
WHY UNEARTHED IS WATCHING
Early Wins, Global Ambitions
Following proven commercial success with a Tier 1 operator in the United States, Evaporation King is now eyeing initial deployments in the Australian market — one of the world’s most demanding and scrutinised mining environments. Their atomiser technology’s ability to handle variable water quality and turbidity sets them apart from competitors in a field where consistency and adaptability are everything.
Unearthed Solutions — a global platform connecting mining companies with innovative technology providers — chose Evaporation King for this honor based on the genuine real-world impact of their solution and the momentum they’re building across international markets.
