The zero-liquid discharge (ZLD) market is set to grow at an annual rate of 12% and be worth $2.7bn by 2030, according to Lux Research. The expansion of ZLD technology, which stops liquid waste issuing from power plants or factories, will be because of greater use in China and India and technical innovation in the sector, as well as increased regulations against ground water contamination and the rising cost of water. Leading ZLD providers such as GE, Veolia, and Aquatech International have a large chunk of the market, but startups with emerging technologies are addressing cost and energy issues to enable even wider adoption," said Abhirabh Basu, Lux Research Associate and lead author of the report titled, 'Assessing Opportunities in the Fast-Growing Zero Liquid Discharge Market'. In India, where a quarter of all households have no access to safe drinking water, there are plans for more than 100 new projects that would treat wastewater with chemicals such as sodium hydroxide (NaOH) and
