Min™ZLD
Minimal Liquid Discharge, Maximum Water Recovery
Min™ZLDIS THE OPTIMAL SOLUTION FOR:
- Industries looking to move toward Zero Liquid Discharge in stages
- Sites where energy efficiency and cost control are critical
- Facilities with brackish, high-TDS, or hard-to-treat wastewater
- Organizations committed to circular water use and ESG performance
PRODUCT OVERVIEW
Min™ZLD is InfraCorp’s next-generation water treatment solution designed to maximize water reuse and minimize liquid discharge in industrial processes. Offering a pragmatic alternative to full Zero Liquid Discharge (ZLDX) systems, Min™ZLD achieves 90–98% water recovery while reducing energy consumption and operational costs.
TYPICALMin™ZLD PROCESS COMPONENTS
- Pretreatment: Filtration, softening, and pH adjustment to protect membranes
- Membrane filtration: RO and/or NF to remove dissolved solids and organics
- Brine concentration: Mechanical vapor recompression or other brine concentrators to reduce brine volume
- Optional limited crystallization: To recover salts and minimize solid waste volume
- Solid waste management: Efficient handling of concentrated brine and salts
MinZLD™and ZLDX™ treatment processes are advanced high recovery water treatment solutions designed to minimize or eliminate wastewater discharge from industrial processes.
MinZLD™ process aim to significantly reduce the volume of liquid waste, typically achieving a reduction of 90-95%. This is accomplished through various technology steps such as membrane filtration, evaporation, or other methods.
The goal of MinZLD™ is to minimize the environmental impact of wastewater disposal and reduce the need for fresh water by enabling the recycling of treated water back into the industrial processes.
Min™ZLD – VALUE PROPOSITION
Min™ZLD delivers a smart, sustainable, and economically viable solution for industries seeking to drastically reduce wastewater discharge without the full complexity or cost of traditional Zero Liquid Discharge systems.
By combining high-efficiency membrane processes with low-energy thermal concentration, Min™ZLD recovers up to 98% of water, minimizes brine volume, and reduces environmental impact—all while lowering capital and operational expenditures.
