Our service scope

Recovery and residuals.Planned together.

A recovery system and a ZLD objective are different scopes. We discuss the complete water balance and remaining streams before defining the approach.

Find the Right Starting Point
ZLDP/ZDPDischarge plans & plants

Our services include both a Zero Liquid Discharge Plan (ZLDP) and a Zero Discharge Plant (ZDP). Discuss the intended discharge objective, site water balance and treatment needs so the plan and plant engineering responsibilities can be defined together.

  • Discharge objective
  • Planning documents
  • Agreed responsibilities
ReuseWater recovery planning

Review the available wastewater information and the quality required for intended reuse. Plan suitable recovery stages around the site and its operating needs.

  • Reuse objective
  • Water quality
  • Recovery scope
RORO integration

Discuss where membrane treatment fits within the recovery approach. Feed conditions, pretreatment and the resulting concentrate need to be considered together.

  • Feedwater conditions
  • Membrane stage
  • Concentrate stream
RejectReject management

Identify the remaining liquid streams and their characteristics. Clarify the handling and further treatment needs within the agreed project scope.

  • Remaining streams
  • Quality & volume
  • Handling requirements
ZLDIntegrated ZLD planning

Define the zero liquid discharge objective and assess the combination of treatment, recovery and residual management required. The complete approach is agreed for the facility, rather than assumed from a single equipment stage.

  • Water balance
  • Integrated scope
  • Residual management

A clear project approach

Practical decisions.A defined next step.

The information and work are connected around your project scope.

  1. Map the water streams

    Start with source flows, wastewater and existing treatment.

  2. Define reuse requirements

    Establish the intended use and required recovered-water quality.

  3. Plan remaining streams

    Connect concentrate and residual handling with the recovery design.

  4. Agree the complete scope

    Clarify equipment, site work and operating responsibilities.

Getting started

Start with your facility.Share what you have.

These details help us understand the requirement and discuss the appropriate scope.

Water balance

Available incoming, used and wastewater flow information.

Stream quality

Reports for wastewater and existing reject streams.

Reuse objective

Where recovered water would be used and its required quality.

Site & operation

Space, utilities and existing treatment arrangements.

Helpful answers

Before weget started.

Understand the selection and project scope before taking the next step.

Is an RO plant the same as a ZLD system?

RO produces treated water and a remaining concentrate stream. A ZLD objective requires the remaining streams to be addressed as part of the complete approach. A membrane stage alone should not be assumed to establish zero liquid discharge.

Can you promise a recovery percentage before reviewing the site?

Recovery objectives depend on the water composition, intended reuse, treatment approach and operating conditions. The target and required scope are discussed after reviewing the available facility information.

Can recovery planning start from an existing plant?

Share the current treatment arrangement, flows, available reports and the reuse objective. These details help define how further recovery or reject management may fit with the existing installation.

What happens to the remaining concentrate?

Its volume and characteristics need to be reviewed when defining the recovery approach. Handling, further treatment and residual-management responsibilities are part of the project discussion, rather than an assumed outcome.
