Shanghai, China, June 6, 2013 - Veolia Water Solutions & Technologies （Veolia） announced today that its Zero Liquid Discharge (ZLD) Solution, including the HPD® Evaporation and Crystallization, OPUS®, and EVALED™, has won the first place at the Market Choice Awards at Aquatech China, the world class trade event in process, drinking and waste water technology sectors. Veolia was honoured for the unique process designs and flexible solutions with advanced technologies successfully applied in a broad range of markets in helping the industrial and municipal clients reduce the residue discharge while minimize operational costs and environmental impact.
With the rising public concern about the environment, and the launch of"The 12th Five Year Environmental Protection Plan" by the Chinese government, on top of recently announced emissions reduction target for major pollutants, including chemical oxygen demand and ammonia nitrogen, China-operated manufacturers are definitely facing tougher challenges. Companies now have to better manage their wastewater treatment processes while remaining competitive in the market. It is inevitable for enterprises to replace existing or build new water treatment plant with cost-effective and efficient waste water systems in order to reduce operation costs and comply with increasingly stringent environmental regulations.
Veolia's flexible and comprehensive ZLD solutions can help all types of industrial clients meet their needs in recycling, reuse, and recovery of valuable resources:
- Veolia's HPD® Evaporation and Crystallization technology has helped clients meet their financial production and environmental objectives by providing systems that produce products and by-products, reuse/recycle valuable water resources, and reduce effluent volume.Veolia offers several options for designing an optimal system to meet each customer's unique zero discharge or waste reduction objectives, water treatment efficiency, and energy consumption. HPD® evaporation system capacities can range from around 50 gpm to greater than 1200 gpm per unit.
- OPUS® a Veolia proprietary technology, is an Optimized Pretreatment and Unique Separation process for desalination of feed water with high concentrations of silica, organics, hardness, boron and particulates. This unique technology generates high quality water with a low waste volume especially for refinery wastewater reuse applications.
- Completely computer-based without the need for operator intervention, EVALED™ evaporators allow high concentration ratios, good separation levels as well as recycling and a decrease in volumes to be disposed. EVALED™ Evaporators meets specific needs of industrial and municipal clients with a maximum capacity of 250 tons of distillate/24h.
