Achieving zero liquid discharge in metal finishing
A metal finishing facility achieved zero liquid discharge while reducing freshwater demand. Learn how ECD supported a more efficient and sustainable treatment strategy.
Water-intensive industries like metal finishing face increasing pressure to reduce discharge and operate more sustainably. Achieving zero liquid discharge (ZLD) is one way to meet these goals, but it can be complex and costly with traditional technologies.
This case study examines how a metal finishing facility implemented ECD as part of a ZLD strategy. By improving water recovery and reducing reliance on freshwater, the facility was able to meet regulatory requirements while maintaining operational efficiency.
The solution demonstrates how ECD can support advanced treatment goals like ZLD while helping facilities manage risk, reduce waste, and optimize water use
