Eliminating Wastewater Discharges

Best Management Practices for Designing Closed Loop Zero Discharge Wastewater Treatment System

HRP’s presentation shall describe the typical “best practices” and strategies used in various industries for a closed loop zero discharge wastewater treatment system. The presentation would be geared towards key elements required in order to assess the feasibility of a closed loop zero discharge wastewater treatment system. The presentation will focus on the following key elements:

Facility Compliance goals
Evaluation of the upstream process and its chemistry.
Source and segregation of certain wastewater streams.
Conceptualization of several treatment technologies.
Pilot study.
Engineering specifications:
- Design Basis,
- Process Flow Diagrams,
- Process & Instrumentation Diagram,
- Mass Balance,
- Equipment Spec Sheets,
- Construction Drawings, and
- Operation and Maintenance Manual.
