Altela implemented a Zero-Liquid Discharge (ZLD) solution for a major textile manufacturing facility in Dallas. The project addressed the client’s need to treat highly contaminated wastewater from the dyeing process and eliminate liquid waste discharge. By incorporating advanced thermal evaporation and crystallization, the system maximized water recovery and significantly reduced waste production, providing both environmental and operational advantages.
The ZLD system ensured that no liquid waste was discharged from the facility, transforming the plant into a closed-loop system and minimizing its environmental footprint.
The system recovered 95% of wastewater for reuse in production, greatly reducing the plant’s freshwater consumption and promoting sustainable water management.
In addition to water recovery, the crystallization process enabled the recovery of salts and chemicals from the wastewater, allowing them to be reused or safely disposed of, further reducing waste.
The ZLD solution helped the textile manufacturer comply with Texas’ strict water discharge regulations, eliminating the risk of regulatory violations and ensuring long-term environmental compliance.
The textile manufacturing industry produces large volumes of highly contaminated wastewater, especially during dyeing and finishing processes. The client, a leading textile manufacturer based in Dallas, faced rising operational costs and growing pressure to comply with stricter environmental regulations regarding wastewater discharge.
Altela’s engineering team designed and installed a Zero-Liquid Discharge (ZLD) system that combines thermal evaporation and crystallization technologies. The solution captures and evaporates the wastewater, condenses the vapor into clean water for reuse, and crystallizes the remaining waste into solid form. This approach completely eliminates liquid discharge, allowing the facility to operate sustainably while reducing dependence on freshwater sources.
The project included the installation of advanced monitoring and automation tools that enable the facility to optimize energy consumption and track system performance in real time. Additionally, Altela’s ZLD system enabled the recovery of valuable salts and byproducts that could either be reused in production or disposed of responsibly, further enhancing the plant’s sustainability.
Altela’s ZLD system not only helped the client achieve full compliance with Texas water regulations but also reduced the facility’s overall environmental impact. The successful implementation of this project positions the client as a leader in sustainable textile production.
