Zero Liquid Discharge, or ZLD, is a technique which aims to discharge no liquid waste to the environment, instead recovering as many products from the ‘waste’ stream as possible and leaving just water, which can be re-used. Depending on the nature of the initial waste stream, and the effectiveness of the evaporation system and any post-evaporation treatment, the water can then be used for various purposes including cleaning, as a heating or cooling fluid, or even inclusion into other products.
