Claim Text:
1. An atomizer for use in waste water evaporation, comprising: a motor comprising a rotor shaft, the rotor shaft comprising a longitudinal axis; at least one conduit for receiving waste water; a housing supporting the motor and the at least one conduit within the housing such that the at least one conduit is positioned in proximity to the motor in order to absorb heat produced by the motor; and a cylindrical hub comprising a central axis and an outer surface disposed around and spaced apart from the central axis, and a plurality of holes in the outer surface for distributing the waste water as water droplets, the water droplets comprising a droplet size; wherein the motor is a variable speed motor and is cooled by the waste water flowing through the at least one conduit and the hub is connected to the rotor shaft such that the central axis of the cylindrical hub is aligned with the longitudinal axis of the rotor shaft and the hub is configured to spin about the central axis at a variable speed with the rotor shaft.
