ZERO DISCHARGE - STRATEGIES & SOLUTION FOR IETS
17 - 18 AUGUST 2026
12 CPD Approved by EiMAS
COURSE INTRODUCTION
This course provides essential knowledge and practical strategies for achieving Zero Liquid Discharge (ZLD) in Industrial Effluent Treatment Systems (IETS). Participants will explore advanced technologies, cost-effective solutions, and compliance strategies to minimize water waste, optimize resource recovery, and meet environmental standards. Ideal for professionals seeking sustainable and innovative wastewater management practices.
COURSE OBJECTIVES
By the end of this programme, participants should be able to:
- Explain Zero Liquid Discharge principles and their application in industrial effluent treatment.
- Characterise wastewater sources and factors that influence treatment design.
- Compare membrane, thermal and emerging technologies for water and resource recovery.
- Develop an integrated ZLD process flow suited to site requirements.
- Evaluate energy, water, cost and operational considerations in system design.
- Plan compliance, reporting, risk-management and emergency-response controls.
