Zero Liquid Discharge (ZLD) Systems
Leading ZLD Plant Manufacturer in India for Sustainable Wastewater Management
In today’s world, where environmental sustainability and regulatory compliance are paramount, industries face the critical challenge of managing wastewater effectively. Acmefil, a leading ZLD plant manufacturer in India, offers cutting-edge zero liquid discharge (ZLD) solutions that enable industries to eliminate liquid effluent discharge, recover valuable resources, and promote sustainable practices.
What Is Zero Liquid Discharge (ZLD)?
Zero Liquid Discharge (ZLD) is an advanced wastewater treatment process that ensures no liquid waste leaves your facility. By employing a combination of innovative technologies, such as evaporation, crystallisation, and drying, ZLD systems treat industrial effluent, recover clean water for reuse, and concentrate solid waste for proper disposal or reuse. This approach not only minimises environmental impact but also enhances water conservation and resource recovery.
What Is Zero Liquid Discharge (ZLD)?
Every industry has unique wastewater characteristics and treatment requirements. Acmefil specialises in developing customised ZLD plants that address specific effluent challenges, ensuring optimal performance, compliance with environmental standards, and cost-effectiveness.
State-of-the-Art ZLD Technologies
Our ZLD systems incorporate advanced technologies such as:
- Membrane Filtration (e.g., Reverse Osmosis, Ultrafiltration)
- Evaporation Systems (Multiple-Effect Evaporators)
- Crystallisation Units
- Drying Systems (Spray Dryers, Agitated Thin Film Dryers)
- Biological Treatment Processes (e.g., Bio-methanation)
By integrating these technologies, we maximise water recovery, reduce waste volume, and enable resource recovery.
Benefits of ZLD Systems
- Environmental Compliance and Sustainability:By achieving zero liquid discharge, you eliminate the risk of environmental pollution from wastewater discharge, ensuring compliance with regulations and contributing to sustainability goals.
- Water Conservation:Our ZLD systems enable up to 99% water recovery, significantly reducing fresh water consumption and conserving this precious resource.
- Cost Savings and Resource Efficiency:Recovering valuable by-products and reusing treated water can lead to substantial cost savings, enhancing operational efficiency and profitability.
- Enhanced Corporate Image:Adopting advanced ZLD technologies demonstrates your commitment to environmental stewardship, improving your reputation among stakeholders and customers.
Innovative Technologies for Optimal Performance
- Advanced Membrane Processes
- Reverse Osmosis (RO):Removes dissolved salts and impurities, producing high-quality permeate water.
- Ultrafiltration (UF):Acts as a pre-treatment to RO, removing suspended solids and colloids.
- Evaporation and Crystallisation Systems
- Multiple-Effect Evaporators (MEE):Efficiently concentrate effluents by utilising steam energy across multiple stages.
- Crystallizers:Induce crystallisation of salts for recovery or disposal.
- Drying Technologies
- Agitated Thin Film Dryers:Ideal for drying high-viscosity materials and heat- sensitive products.
- Biological Treatment Options
- Bio-methanation:Converts organic matter into biogas, which can be used as an energy source.
- Aerobic and Anaerobic Treatments:Reduce COD and BOD levels in the effluent.
Success Stories
Textile Industry
A leading textile manufacturer faced challenges with high TDS and colour in their effluent. Solex implemented a customised ZLD solution integrating RO and MEE systems, achieving over 98% water recovery and enabling the reuse of treated water in their dyeing processes.
Pharmaceutical Sector
A pharmaceutical company required a solution for complex effluents with high organic loads. We designed a ZLD system incorporating biological treatment and evaporation technologies, resulting in compliance with environmental norms and significant cost savings from water reuse.
