Attaquant Enterprises, a leading zero liquid discharge plant (ZID) manufacturers, suppliers and exporters in South Africa, 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.
The advanced membrane technologies and vapor compression technologies in our plant help reduce produced water, injected water and multiple types of chemical solvents such as glycol, methanol and hydrochloric acid (HCL). Due to its overall qualities, these are applied to multiple industrial sectors for improving performance.
Being one of the best zero liquid discharge plant (ZID) manufacturers and suppliers in South Africa, our plant uses modern technology for processing waste water and improves performance in industrial areas. Here we have listed down the procedure in detail:
For more clarification about our ZID working process, we have mentioned below a technical sheet:
Process | Technical Specifications | Operating Conditions | Technology Updates | Energy Consumption |
---|---|---|---|---|
Wastewater Pre-Treatment |

Advanced UF membranes with lower fouling rates Electrocoagulation for chemical-free treatment |
~ 0.1 - 0.3 kWh/m³ (for filtration) |
Primary Treatment (Clarification) |
• Sedimentation Clarifiers • Dissolved Air Flotation (DAF) • Biological Treatment (if needed) |
• Pressure: 3-4 bar (DAF) • Temperature: 25-35°C (Optimal for biological treatment) |
MBR for combined biological and filtration treatment | ~ 0.3 - 0.5 kWh/m³ |
Concentration (Reverse Osmosis) |
• Reverse Osmosis Membranes • Energy Recovery Devices (ERD) |
• Pressure: 50-80 bar • Temperature: 25-40°C |
HERO (High Efficiency RO) for high recovery | ~ 2.0 - 3.5 kWh/m³ |
Brine Concentration (Evaporation/Crystallization) |
• Multi-Effect Evaporators (MEE) • Mechanical Vapor Compression (MVC) • Crystallizers |
• Temperature: 70-110°C (MEE/MVC) • Pressure: Atmospheric or slightly above |
Falling film evaporators for improved energy efficiency | ~ 15-30 kWh/m³ (MVC/MEE) |
Solid Separation and Management |
• Centrifuges or Belt Presses • Thermal Dryers • Salt Recovery Systems |
• Pressure: N/A • Temperature: 90-120°C (Dryers) |
Advanced sludge drying (supercritical CO2 drying) | ~ 0.5 - 1.0 kWh/kg of dry solid |
Water Recovery and Reuse |
• Electrodialysis Reversal (EDR) • Membrane Distillation (MD) • Hybrid Systems (RO + MD/EDR) |
• Pressure: < 10 bar (EDR) • Temperature: 30-60°C (MD) |
Hybrid RO + MD systems for higher recovery rates | ~ 1.5 - 2.5 kWh/m³ |
As a former Zero Liquid discharge plant (ZID) suppliers and exporter in South Africa, we have added multiple types and updated features in our plant which gives various amounts of benefits such as:
Feature | Description | Benefit | Example of Application |
---|---|---|---|
Complete Water Reuse | Our ZID helps for improving all wastewater is treated and recycled within the system without any discharge into the environment. | It reduces the fresh water consumption and minimizes environmental impact. | Our Zero Liquid Discharge (ZID) plant is used in industries located in water-scarce regions to maximize water conservation. |
Concentrated Waste Minimization | ZLD systems concentrate waste streams to a solid or near-solid form before disposal. | Decreases the volume of hazardous waste needing disposal, reducing landfill use and disposal costs. | These systems are used in chemical industries where waste generation needs strict control, reducing sludge transportation and disposal challenges. |
Compliance with Environmental Regulations | Our Zero Liquid Discharge (ZID) plant is made for meeting stringent environmental regulations that limit or prohibit liquid discharge. | Avoids fines, legal penalties, and ensures compliance with government and environmental standards. | Our ZID plant is used in industries like power generation or textile manufacturing where effluent discharge standards are strictly enforced. |
Recovery of Valuable By-products | Our Zero Liquid Discharge (ZID) plant helps in recovering valuable by-products such as salts and minerals from wastewater. | Reduces raw material costs by recovering and reusing chemicals or minerals, improving overall economic efficiency. | Applied in mining and mineral processing industries where metals and salts can be recovered and reused in operations. |
One of the leading Zero Liquid discharge plant (ZID) manufactures and suppliers in South Africa, our plant is used in numerous industries due to its advanced functions. We have mentioned below some list of applications such as:
As a dominant zero liquid discharge plant (ZID) manufacturers, suppliers and exporters in South Africa, we as Attaquant Enterprises are committed to contributing to environmental sustainability and meeting net-zero carbon emissions through our new technological zero liquid discharge (ZLD) wastewater treatment. These are installed with various advanced machines that help treat the wastewater in a uniform manner, and each process is done with an automation process. For more information, contact us today!
