Gladiator
120
Industrial-scale evaporation without compromise. 120 GPM, variable speed, adjustable mast, and WDC weather automation standard — built for the operations that can’t afford downtime.
The Gladiator 120 represents a significant advancement in our enhanced evaporation equipment lineup, engineered specifically for operations that demand high-volume wastewater processing without compromise. As a U.S. Florida, Arizona, and Colorado based designer, manufacturer, and global distributor of proprietary evaporation equipment, we built the Gladiator 120 to address the growing need for powerful, reliable, and cost-effective wastewater elimination across demanding industrial sectors. This unit sits within our broader Gladiator series, which serves Mining, Oil & Gas, Municipal, Chemical, and all other types of related industrial process wastewater verticals.

Gladiator 120: Industrial-Scale Evaporation Power
Industrial wastewater volumes continue to climb worldwide, with the global wastewater treatment market projected to exceed $500 billion by 2030. Traditional disposal methods like deep-well injection, trucking, and conventional evaporation ponds carry escalating costs, environmental risks, and regulatory scrutiny. The Gladiator 120 offers a fundamentally different approach. By leveraging our proprietary atomization technology, we fracture water into an ultra-fine mist that dramatically accelerates natural evaporation, turning a costly liability into an efficient, manageable process. Wastewater Solved.

How the 120 fits the lineup
Real-World Applications Across Industries
The Gladiator 120 serves a diverse range of industries, reflecting our position as a manufacturer of evaporation equipment for the Mining, Energy, Food & Beverage, Bio & Pharma, Textile, and Waste Management sectors. In mining operations across the United States & globally, produced water and process wastewater containing heavy metals and high mineral concentrations require elimination rather than simple treatment. The Gladiator 120 handles these challenging streams without the mechanical failures that plague conventional equipment.

Oil and gas producers face enormous volumes of produced water and flowback fluid. Facilities near the United States & globally and other active production zones benefit from the Gladiator 120’s ability to process high-salinity brines that would destroy standard evaporation equipment. Municipal wastewater treatment plants use the system to manage reject streams from reverse osmosis systems, landfill leachate, and seasonal overflow volumes. Chemical processing facilities deploy the Gladiator 120 to eliminate process wastewater that contains complex dissolved compounds unsuitable for conventional discharge.
Engineered
for Scale.
We designed the Gladiator 120 to deliver the most efficient evaporation performance with the least amount of maintenance in its class. Key technical advantages include:
Processing of fluids up to 300,000 TDS without performance degradation or frequent component replacement.
Producing the finest droplet spectra available in any commercial evaporation system.
Outperforms thermal and mechanical evaporation alternatives by leveraging ambient environmental conditions.
Minimized moving parts and wear components extend service intervals and reduce total cost of ownership.
Multiple units operate in parallel for extremely high-volume applications without infrastructure complexity.
Technical Advantages and Maintenance Efficiency
All of our equipment is proudly designed and manufactured in the USA, ensuring rigorous quality control throughout every stage of production. We primarily distribute our equipment factory-direct through our headquarters, ensuring customers receive expert support and direct access to our latest technology. In select regions, we also work with a trusted network of independent dealers, strategic partners, and distributors to provide localized service and support worldwide.
Heavy-duty cross-arm distributes atomizer units for maximum mist coverage across the pond surface.
Four independent EK-1000 motors operate at 18,000 RPM. Each unit runs independently — if one needs service the others keep running.
Adjustable height from 4 to 12 feet. Dial mist dispersal height to match site conditions and ambient wind.
WDC weather automation standard. Monitor performance metrics, adjust atomization parameters, and schedule maintenance intervals in real time.
Submersible intake pump draws directly from the wastewater source. No piping to shore, no civil construction required.
Modular float system self-levels on the water surface. Walk-on non-slip grade surface for safe on-site servicing.

How the Gladiator
120 Works.
At the core of the Gladiator 120 is our proprietary atomization system, which operates at RPMs that no other system on the market can match while still handling the challenging liquids found in industrial wastewater streams. The unit draws wastewater from a source tank or containment area and propels it through our high-speed atomization heads, creating an extraordinarily fine droplet spectra. This mist achieves maximum surface area exposure to ambient air, wind, and solar energy, enabling rapid evaporation rates that far surpass traditional pond-based methods.

What makes this system truly exceptional is its ability to handle the highest dissolved solids concentrations in the industry, processing fluids with 250,000 to 300,000 TDS. Most competing evaporation technologies struggle with high-TDS wastewater because dissolved minerals and chemicals cause rapid fouling, clogging, and equipment failure. Our atomization approach solves all of these pain points by creating a mist so fine that the water evaporates efficiently regardless of dissolved content. The way that we fracture the water is very cost-effective, reducing both energy consumption and operational overhead compared to thermal evaporation systems or mechanical vapor recompression units.
