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. Vapour compression evaporation can recover up to 95 per cent of the wastewater as distillate.
