Too many manufacturers look at their wastewater management systems as a sunk cost. They are spending a ton in order to meet discharge limits, but think that replacing or upgrading their systems would cost too much.

With environmental regulations constantly changing and increasing costs associated with waste handling, companies need to make smart and informed business decisions about sludge disposition. Sludge is an unfortunate byproduct of any industrial wastewater treatment process.

Engineers and managers in the Aerospace and Surface Finishing/Refinishing industries know firsthand the difficulty of balancing cost-effective solutions with long term results.

Industrial wastewater treatment results in an undesirable, yet unavoidable by-product—sludge. The methods facilities employ to handle and dispose of sludge has a material impact on operating expenses as excess water in solids directly influences haul-off costs.

Industrial manufacturers seeking solutions for wastewater treatment have a powerful weapon at their disposal in Zero Liquid Discharge (ZLD).

Quality wastewater treatment ought to be a business asset in your operations. Problem-free treatment saves time, trouble, and even costly bad publicity. When quality standards aren’t met, the consequences can be serious for your bottom line and even your brand.

The best wastewater treatment platform is a modular one. Wastewater undergoes a number of separate but interconnected processes, becoming cleaner and cleaner with each step, until it is in compliance with your facilities permit.

Reverse osmosis (RO) is one of the most common, trusted methods in water treatment and can be effective for many wastewater applications, allowing facilities to recover water, save time and improve productivity.

How do you know if ZLD is appropriate for your organization? Ultimately, you’ll want to consult wastewater professionals like the experts at DMP Corporation to determine the specific benefits and requirements of a ZLD system in your plant.
