True Zero Liquid Discharge

Zero Liquid Discharge (ZLD), a process which is meant to be beneficial to effluent generating organizations, by saving money, as well as "Environment", as nearly all the generated waste have been reused back.

ZLD can be achieved by following means,

1) Thermal Operations

2) Filtration Operations

3) Combinations of Both


The main constraint of above-mentioned means are, the both technologies require high CAPEX as well as OPEX.

Consequently, water treatment experts were seeking for new innovative means, by which they can achieve ZLD, in most Economical Way.

The process, which makes me write this article, one of the most adopted ZLD System, for Reverse Osmosis (RO) Plant Reject, is Spaying Reject into the Atmosphere.

The said system looks like this


Coming to the point, which your "So-called Water Treatment Experts" didn't tell you, is ZLD simply means, "ZERO LIQUID DISCHARGE". Spraying high Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) RO Reject into the Atmosphere, is not ZLD.

Even, TDS limit of 2,100 mg/l, allowed by Government Bodies for Gardening, can emit about 500 mg/m3 of Mixed Pollutants into the Atmosphere.

Now, think what Environmental Impact will your system have when one spray High TDS RO Reject Water having TDS Value of 15,000 mg/l (Not Economical for Evaporation) and quantity of 1,000 Liters/Hour.

The said system will emit about 5,000 mg/m3.sec of the Mixed Pollutants into the Atmosphere.

Moreover, nearly same emission rates can be observed, in Open Pan Evaporators (OPE), having evaporation capacity of 1,000 Liters/Hour.

Due to Alkaline Nature and Micro Size (< 0.4 micrometer) of the Mixed Pollutants lead to Dermal as well as Respiratory System Damages.

This simply means, all the investment done by you to conserve the Environment is gone Waste.

The solution is very simple, to go for Common ZLD Systems, comprised of nearly 100% Resource Recovery Systems.

This will Reduce the CAPEX as well as OPEX, per unit, and enable the effective utilization of funds for the betterment of the Environment.

After Heat Wave - Still No Sustainability

After Heat Wave - Still No Sustainability After recent significant heat waves and their consequent outcomes in the weather trends, there is still a need for the adoption of sustainable measures. This post will focus on the effects of human activities on the energy cycle of the earth. The most immediate fix is the best option but for the short term only. Now, the time has come to achieve the long-term goals by imposing stringent policies. Source: University of Bristol Recent studies estimate that the world will add about 1 billion Air Conditioners (ACs) by the end of 2030, and projected to nearly double before 2040. This expansion of AC coverage threatens to worsen the crisis it's responding to, as most ACs still use refrigerants like Hydro Fluoro Carbons (HFCs), which can have 1,000 times the warming potency of Carbon Dioxide (CO2). Further, various studies estimate that if the world fails to lower, the dependence on HFCs could result in half a degree Celsius of warming by the end ...

Environmental Economics

Environmental economics is a branch of #economics that focuses on the relationship between the economy and the #environment . It seeks to understand and analyse how human activities impact the natural environment and how the environment, in turn, affects economic systems.  Environmental economics aims to provide insights and tools for addressing environmental challenges and achieving #sustainabledevelopment . In this blog post, we will focus on the working of sustainable #green economics with amendments emphasising the overall development of the world. In 2000, #climatechange had not gained the attention and urgency as today. In 2023, environmental economics is focused on understanding and addressing the economic implications of climate change, including the costs of mitigation and adaptation measures, #carboncredits , and the valuation of ecosystem services affected by climate change. After so many initiatives taken by various organisations, there is still a gap in the #emissio...
