ZLD & volume reduction
Brine minimization, acid/alkali recovery, and leachate-class difficulty—mass balance from membrane to thermal disposal.
2026Zero liquid discharge (ZLD): membrane concentration coupled with thermal finishingExplicit concentrate routing from RO/NF/UHPRO into thermal solids pathways. Defensible water balance and lower thermal capex when membranes do the volume…
2026Brine concentration: shrinking volume before disposal or thermal end-pointsConcentration staging with LSI/silica governance and traceable brine chemistry. Smaller downstream duty and clearer solids handling narrative.
