Zero Liquid Discharge
Zero Liquid Discharge (ZLD) System
Achieve Complete Wastewater Recovery with Paras Hydrotech’s Advanced ZLD Solutions
At Paras Hydrotech, we understand that water is not just a resource—it’s a critical asset. With increasing environmental regulations, rising water scarcity, and growing awareness of sustainable practices, Zero Liquid Discharge (ZLD) has become a necessity for industries rather than a luxury. Our ZLD systems, powered by Mechanical Vapor Recompression Evaporators (MVRE) and Agitated Thin Film Dryers (ATFD), offer the most energy-efficient and environmentally sound solution for treating and reusing industrial wastewater.
What is Zero Liquid Discharge (ZLD)?
Zero Liquid Discharge is a wastewater treatment process designed to eliminate liquid waste and recover clean water for reuse within the facility. In a ZLD system, the wastewater is concentrated and separated until only solids remain, ensuring that no liquid effluent is discharged into the environment. This not only meets stringent discharge regulations but also recovers valuable by-products and reduces freshwater dependency.
Our Technology: MVRE + ATFD Setup
1. MVRE – Mechanical Vapor Recompression Evaporator
The MVRE is the heart of the ZLD system. It works by evaporating the water from the wastewater using mechanical energy to recompress and reuse vapor, significantly reducing thermal energy requirements.
Key Benefits of MVRE:
Lower Energy Consumption: Uses vapor compression instead of external steam, slashing energy costs.
Closed-Loop System: Recycles heat internally, improving efficiency.
Compact Design: Saves space and simplifies installation.
Corrosion-Resistant Build: Built with high-grade SS or duplex materials for longer life.
2. ATFD – Agitated Thin Film Dryer
Once the wastewater has been concentrated to a slurry in the MVRE, the ATFD takes over to dry the concentrate, leaving behind only solid waste. The ATFD operates under vacuum or atmospheric conditions, depending on the feed characteristics.
Key Benefits of ATFD:
Handles High TDS Effluent: Effective with high salt and chemical concentrations.
Uniform Drying: Thin film technology ensures consistent drying and prevents fouling.
Energy Efficient: Minimal utility consumption due to efficient heat transfer.
Low Maintenance: Agitation prevents scaling and ensures smooth operation.
Why Choose MVRE + ATFD Combination?
When combined, MVRE and ATFD create a seamless, high-performance ZLD solution that:
Cuts down on operational costs by reducing energy consumption.
Increases water recovery efficiency up to 95–98%.
Delivers dry solids suitable for disposal or further processing.
Meets the strictest pollution control norms for industries.
Where Can It Be Used?
Our ZLD system with MVRE + ATFD setup is ideal for a wide range of industrial applications:
1. Textile & Dyeing Units
Treats high TDS wastewater containing dyes, salts, and organic load.

Reduces dependency on fresh water sources.
5. Tanneries, Electroplating & Heavy Industries
Removes heavy metals and recovers usable water.
Prevents groundwater contamination.
Why ZLD Matters for Wastewater Management
Environmental Compliance
Government agencies like CPCB and SPCBs are mandating ZLD for various sectors. Failing to comply can lead to penalties, closures, and reputational damage.Water Scarcity Management
With water stress becoming a national concern, ZLD enables industries to recycle up to 98% of their water, reducing dependency on freshwater sources.Sustainability Goals
As ESG reporting gains importance, ZLD systems contribute to an organization’s green credentials and carbon footprint reduction.Cost Savings Over Time
While initial investment may seem high, low running costs, water reuse, and by-product recovery make ZLD economically viable in the long term.
