What is ZLD ?

ZLD is Zero liquid Discharge. A system which doesn't reject any water from the RO system. Practically you may get systems with almost 95% recovery. Is it possible ? Yes, there are systems available. However, here are my key point suggestions to all those Business Owners who wish to do something in this space :-

Do Not Bother if your reject water TDS is below 2000 PPM 

You can use the water in sanitary pipelines or gardening within your own premise. Why I said "Don't Bother" is for a simple reason that the cost is not worth it.

When is it really worth ?


It is advisable for very huge quantities of water like 100000 Ltrs per hour & TDS more than 30000 etc. These applications are for industrial usage or Marine applications.
