Zero Liquid Discharge (ZLD)

Zero Liquid Discharge (ZLD) is an advanced wastewater treatment approach that eliminates liquid waste, ensuring maximum water recovery and environmental sustainability. Xepcon integrates technologies like membrane filtration, evaporation, and crystallization to reclaim and reuse water while minimizing environmental impact.

Xepcon recognizes that ZLD projects are CAPEX- and OPEX-intensive, with the evaporator and crystallizer being the costliest components. By maximizing volume reduction via membranes and optimizing reverse osmosis pre-treatment, we push RO recoveries to osmotic pressure limits — reducing scaling, fouling, and the high costs of downstream processes.

Zero Liquid Discharge (ZLD) can be achieved through different approaches, each with distinct advantages and challenges. Here’s a comparison of some common ZLD strategies.
