ZLD - The Race to Zero is On
Efficient wastewater management and disposal is the cornerstone of sustainable development. With increasingly stringent regulations on the discharge of effluents to the sea, surface water bodies and deep well injection, Zero Liquid Discharge (ZLD) provides a complete closed loop cycle where effluents are recycled and reused, discharge is eliminated and environmental regulations are complied with in full.

When Innovation and Necessity Meet - The Birth of Israeli Desalination
Alexander Zarchin (1897-1988) was a Ukrainian-born Israeli engineer and passionate inventor, with many remarkable developments in chemistry and physics under his wing. After emigrating from Russia to Israel in 1947, he became one of the pioneers of seawater desalination in Israel, and was also the inventor of Vacuum Freezing Vapor Compression - or VFVC - a freeze desalination method for seawater (read more about “The Zarchin Process” below).

The Future of Brine Management
Industrial advancements and population growth increase the need to generate water from available sources such as sea and brackish water.
Current technologies available today for water production / desalination can be divided into two major categories - membrane technology, primarily reverse osmosis (RO), and thermal technologies such as multiple effect distillation and mechanical vapor compression.

Mine the Gap - Water Treatment for the Mining Sector
What needs is the industry facing today?
According to Reuters, the world’s top mining companies have been recently warned that assets will be stranded and investors will walk away unless they deal with water scarcity in key mining regions such as Africa, Australia and Latin America.
