¿Por qué las plantas industriales necesitan sistemas de gestión de Vertido Cero (ZLD) ?
Los procesos industriales requieren energía, materias primas y agua. Estos procesos generan productos, residuos y aguas residuales. Las estrategias de gestión del agua, como los sistemas de Vertido Cero o ZLD, pueden minimizar el consumo de agua dulce generando agua pura para reuso, recuperar subproductos valiosos, reducir costes de gestión de residuos, garantizar el cumplimiento de las regulaciones ambientales y mejorar la sostenibilidad de las operaciones generales de la planta.

Welcome to the ZLD Space-Time Lab
Ever wondered what really happens when bold innovation meets the gritty reality of industrial systems? Meet Patrick—one of Alfa Laval’s ZLD experts and challengers, and a regular voice on this blog. In this opening post, Patrick sets the stage for what this blog is all about: inviting you into the messy, inspiring, and often surprising space where big ideas are tested, stretched, and transformed into real-world solutions. He also shares why he’s still captivated by Zero Liquid Discharge, despite a rocky first run, and explores how the lessons hidden in failure can often pave the way for breakthrough success. Welcome to the ZLD Space-Time Lab: where problems are respected, collaboration is key, and innovation thrives between imagination and reality.
What is Zero Liquid Discharge?
Zero Liquid Discharge (ZLD) is an innovative technology equipped to minimize industrial water waste. It enables a circular flow of water, allowing it to be reused multiple times within the same process. The benefits of using a Zero Liquid Discharge system include reduced water pollution, as it prevents harmful pollutants from being discharged into natural water bodies. It also reduces waste volume, minimizing the amount of waste that needs to be managed and disposed of. Additionally, ZLD systems lower fresh water intake by recycling and reusing wastewater, leading to significant cost savings over time. Furthermore, these systems allow for the recovery of valuable by-products from wastewater, which can be reused or sold.
