Attaquant Enterprises, a leading zero liquid discharge plant (ZID) manufacturers, suppliers and exporters in Ethiopia, is contributing to a greener environment and keeping environmental sustainability through our new technological zero liquid discharge equipment. These plants are primarily applied in the industrial sector for maintaining and utilizing advanced technological water treatment processes to limit liquid waste.

Our plant uses advanced membrane and vapor compression technologies to minimize produced water, injected water, and various chemical solvents like glycol, methanol, and hydrochloric acid (HCL). These technologies enhance performance across multiple industrial sectors due to their effectiveness.

A detailed overview of how our Zero Liquid Discharge Plant (ZID) works:

Being one of the best zero liquid discharge plant (ZID) manufacturers and suppliers in Ethiopia, our plant uses modern technology for processing waste water and improves performance in industrial areas. Here we have listed down the procedure in detail:

  • Wastewater Pre-Treatment: This is the first step of the ZID system, where we separate materials like oil, grease, and other particles. This stage is designed to eliminate unwanted substances using techniques such as filters, multimedia filters, and ultrafiltration membranes to remove suspended solids. We employ modern methods like advanced ultrafiltration membranes and electrocoagulation, which offer higher flow rates and lower fouling rates. Additionally, we use chemicals such as aluminum sulfate, ferric chloride, and lime to combine smaller particles into larger ones, making them easier to remove.
  • Primary Treatment (Clarification): To remove suspended solids, colloidal matter, and organic contaminants, we usually employ clarification methods after the initial pre-treatment. This process includes biological treatment to eliminate biodegradable organic materials. For better results, we use various techniques, such as sedimentation clarifiers, which utilize gravity to settle solids, and dissolved air flotation (DAF), which separates heavier compounds like oil, grease, and suspended solids by floating them to the surface with tiny air bubbles. With recent technological advancements, we have adopted high-rate clarifiers and membrane bioreactors (MBR), which feature improved designs to enhance sedimentation rates and reduce the space required for clarifier tanks.
  • Concentration (Reverse Osmosis): This is the key method in the ZID, which is reverse osmosis (RO). The pre-treated water is passed into the semi-permeable membrane that has the higher pressure. Due to the higher pressure, it removes the dissolved salts, heavy metals, and other impurities from water and reduces the volume. The RO membrane is specially designed for high rejection and has high-flux performance; also, our plant is connected with energy recovery devices that collect the energy from the high-pressure brine reject stream and reuse it. We have included new technologies such as low-fouling RO membranes, which reduce maintenance and extend the lifespan of the membrane. Also, the high-efficiency (HERO), which is the new approach that has the antiscalant for removing removal efficiency.
  • Brine Concentration (Evaporation/Crystallization): The next step involves concentrated brine, where we use evaporation and crystallization processes to reduce volume and concentrate the salt. In this process, water is boiled off, allowing the dissolved salts to crystallize. We employ mechanical vapor compression (MVC), which uses a mechanical compressor to recover and reuse energy generated during evaporation. The crystallization is carried out using multi-effect evaporators (MEE). To enhance the efficiency of heating water or other compounds, we utilize advanced heat exchanger materials that improve the durability of the evaporators.
  • Solid Separation and Management: After the brine concentration process, the solid left out of this process includes salts, metals, and other solid contaminants. These materials can be used for reuse processes, such as road salt or industrial chemicals, or sent to landfills. For extracting solid materials, our efficient zero liquid discharge (ZLD) water treatment plants are equipped with centrifuges or belt presses, which reduce the dewater and moisture. The salt and recovery technologies are used for recovering important salt compounds such as sodium sulfate and calcium chloride with advanced technologies such as selective crystallization technologies.
