Zero Liquid Discharge (ZLD) wastewater treatment is an advanced process designed to eliminate the discharge of any liquid waste from an industrial or municipal facility. The goal of ZLD is to recover as much water as possible from the wastewater stream and minimize environmental impact by treating and reusing the water or converting it into solid waste.
The process involves multiple stages of treatment, including physical, chemical, and biological processes, concentration, and crystallization to achieve complete water recovery.
UCC Environmental ZLD Solutions
UCC Environmental’s Zero Liquid Discharge solutions are among the most effective for facilities looking to eliminate liquid waste discharge entirely. By treating and reusing water, ZLD solutions enable industries to recover nearly all water used in their processes, ensuring compliance with the strictest environmental regulations while reducing overall water consumption.

Why Is Zero Liquid Discharge Important?
In April 2024, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) announced that Effluent Limitation Guidelines (ELG) now require coal-fired powerplants to move to a Zero Liquid Discharge (ZLD) strategy for FGD wastewater, bottom ash transport water, and Combustion Residual Leachate (CRL).
