Zeev; Direct steam injection sounds like a box full of rattlesnakes, but the steam condenses fully into the water and nothing get out. You can apply huge rates of heating to a tank as you heat the bulk all at once. 10,000 gallons can be heated to boiling in 5-10 minutes. Faster than gas or other forms of heating. The ground dirt will be fed to a tank where it is mixed with water to form a slurry and kept moving. Depending on the construction they can use gravity flow to move large volumes through sluiceways to fill the tanks, If there is counter current heat exchange more pump energy needed, but ther will be a 50% heat saving. No evaporation, tanks are covered. The right concrete is acid proof and will take it for years. stainless agitators and other meet the acid ares will do. Known tech, no problem,. The materials must then be filtered orm centrifuged fom the water and also washed and the water recycled, before it loses too much heat, so only make up heat is needed. In this area al theese tanks etc will be outside, amd the insulation will be earth berming with styrofoam type filled walls, bottoms for extra insulation values. Cheap and easy to make. use desert dirt as filler if possible??
