The invention relates to methods, systems and apparatus for distributed management of raw water and internal combustion engine (ICE) gas emissions generated during industrial operations. One aspect of the invention at least partially utilizes a hot gas air knife to increase or partially increase surface area between a raw water and a hot gas in order to vaporize a proportion of the aqueous phase of the raw water and concentrate contaminants within a residual raw water concentrate. The water vapor generated by the vaporization process may be demisted, discharged directly to the atmosphere or alternatively condensed and captured for use. Another aspect relates to how the liquids and gasses interact to continuously flush the surfaces of the system which may help mitigate scaling issues. The invention may help facilitate rapid transfer of ICE combustion gas particulate and ICE combustion gas chemicals onto and into the raw water as it concentrates.

A vaporization system includes: a vaporization device that is configured to vaporize a liquid material and that includes an inlet port through which the liquid material is introduced and an outlet port through which vaporized gas generated by vaporizing the liquid material is discharged; at least one first fixing screw with which at least one of the inlet port or the outlet port is screwed and fixed onto a base; at least one pipe member that is configured to communicate with the fixed port and through which the vaporized gas or the liquid material flows; and at least one second fixing screw with which the at least one pipe member is screwed and fixed onto the fixed port with a seal member interposed between the at least one pipe member and the fixed port.

A novel processed vapor make-up water subsystem that uses a make-up water boiler to boil and purify make-up water and its method of use are described. Upon vaporization, dissolved solids remain in the liquid water in the bottom of the make-up boiler and the solids free steam is introduced into the main boiler loop through a deaerator. Periodically, the water in the bottom of the make-up boiler is blown down when the amount of dissolved solids in the water reach a predetermined level.

A steam using facility in which a generated condensate amount changes in association with a change in an environmental state value, based on a correlation between the environmental state value and the generated condensate amount. An environmental state value when the generated condensate amount becomes a set alarm amount is set as an alarm state value. An alarm is issued when an actual environmental state value by a measuring instrument changes in an increasing direction of the generated condensate amount to reach the set alarm state value.
