Resource Recovery
OPERATORS ARE FACING NEW PRESSURES
Our beachhead market is India’s textile industry where Zero Liquid Discharge (ZLD) has become the gold standard in wastewater treatment.
FRESHWATER SCARCITY IS INTENSIFYING
Water demand for India’s textile industry will double over the next 10 years.
INDUSTRIAL REUSE REMAINS LOW
In S. and SE Asia industrial reuse is < 8%.
ZLD REGULATIONS ARE TIGHTENING
Since 2015, all textiles and tanneries in India generating above 25 kLD effluent must install ZLD.
WASTED OPPORTUNITIES TO RECOVER SALTS
For every kg of textiles, 1 kg of NaCl is used.
ZLD systems are expensive to build & operate
Non-reactive to changes in waste water composition.
Large plant foot print.
Energy intensive and low quality of recycled brine.
Nano-selective Forward Osmosis (FOns) is the solution
PRIMARY TREATMENT
Increases treatment capacity (load reduction).
SECONDARY TREATMENT
Generates high quality recycled brine.
TERTIARY TREATMENT
Eliminates costly tertiary equipment.
SAVINGS
Up to 55% OPEX and 50% CAPEX savings in greenfield systems.
