ZLD systems Market Dynamics

Driver: High efficiency of ZLD systems

ZLD systems are wastewater management systems that ensure zero industrial wastewater discharge into the environment. Advanced treatment methods and technologies are used to treat industrial brine wastewater, which is essentially reduced to dry solids. An advanced and well-designed ZLD system recovers around 95% of liquid waste for reuse and can retrieve valuable byproducts such as salts and brines, reducing operational costs. Conventional wastewater treatment systems often result in brine waste and loss of valuable materials. The effluent cannot be brought to acceptable discharge standards using conventional or other chemical treatment methods. The water recovery efficiency of all these methods is less than ZLD systems. These factors make ZLD systems an effective and economically viable solution for wastewater treatment.

Restrain: High installation & operational cost of ZLD systems

The industrial plants that produce effluents install ZLD systems per their requirements through engineering, procurement, & construction (EPC) and turnkey companies. ZLD systems comprise various membranes and components procured from various equipment manufacturers. These systems carry out various processes, such as pretreatment (biological or chemical), filtration, evaporation, and crystallization of wastewater concentrates. Therefore, the procurement of raw materials used for designing & engineering ZLD systems, and their installation is capital-intensive. Other factors, such as the level of system automation needed, shipping costs, environmental regulatory fees, and taxes, are also important to consider while pricing ZLD systems.

Opportunity: Increasing concerns over disposal of brine concentrate into oceans

The disposal of brine concentrates generated from various processes, such as desalination, into oceans has become a major environmental issue. The desalination plants discharge dense brine into the ocean, which may cause harmful effects on the marine environment. Brine concentrates are produced from the reverse osmosis (RO) process to remove salts from water. The concentrates resulting from the reverse osmosis (RO) process contain chemical additives. When reverse osmosis technology is used to treat wastewater and groundwater, the contaminates and other components present in the water make the brine concentrates produced by the process more toxic, which can be bad for marine life and impact the weather cycles.

Challenge: Lack of awareness regarding disposal of wastewater concentrates

The use of ZLD systems is still a new concept in various regions, such as the Middle East & Africa, Asia Pacific, and South America, due to the use of various traditional methods such as pond evaporation, solar drying, and thermal evaporation, among others for the treatment of wastewater sludge. The lack of awareness among the masses regarding various environmental regulations related to wastewater management might hamper the growth of the ZLD systems market. For instance, Nigeria is an oil-rich country, and it is observed that there are no regulations for flue-gas desulfurization (FGD) and cooling tower blowdown in the country. However, this scenario is expected to change with increasing industrial growth in these regions in the coming years.

Conventional segment accounted for the largest share amongst systems in the ZLD systems market

Among systems, the conventional ZLD systems segment to lead the ZLD systems market in 2021. As, conventional ZLD systems are standard systems widely used by various end-use industries due to their specific designs, which involve pre-defined stages such as pretreatment, filtration, evaporation, and crystallization. These systems are compatible with small as well as medium operating plants that do not have customized requirements.

Evaporation & crystallization segment to lead the process in the overall ZLD systems market

Evaporation & crystallization is the most dominated and popular process for the ZLD systems. This process is widely used in multiple end use industries such as power, chemicals, textile, pharmaceuticals, and electronics. Evaporators & crystallizers are an important part of zero-liquid discharge systems as they ensure zero to minimal liquid discharge. This factor is driving the growth of the evaporation & crystallization process in ZLD systems market

Energy & Power segment holds the largest market of all the end-use industries in the ZLD systems market

Energy & Power segment holds the largest market share in the end-use industry of ZLD systems market. The dominant market position is attributed to the exponential growth in demand for ZLD systems in the energy & power application. The size of installations in energy & power is large in comparison to other sectors with flow rates higher than 10 cubic meters. The thermal power industry, which utilizes coal energy, is one of the key sectors expected to drive the market in this end-use industry. Countries such as China have released mandates for installing ZLD plants in the energy sector. CTX and Coal to Liquid (CTL) are some key processes that demand ZLD systems, and coal plants are largely situated in non-coastal regions, which inhibits the easy disposal of brine concentrates. These factors are expected to drive the ZLD systems market in the energy & power sector, during the forecast period.

Asia Pacific is estimated to grow at the fastest growth rate in the global ZLD systems market

The Asia Pacific region accounted for the largest market share in 2021 and is also expected to grow at the highest CAGR, during the forecast period. This growth is attributed to the increasing demand for ZLD systems because of stringent regulations regarding the treatment of wastewater, rapid industrialization, and the growing population. In addition, the increasing awareness about water treatment and industrial wastewater re-use is expected to increase the demand for ZLD systems in the region.
