The Changing Face of Water Treatment: Modern solutions help processors achieve water-related goals in a more proactive, cost-effective way.

Water reuse and recycling, along with other water treatment practices, are being widely adopted in chemical processes worldwide due to the rising cost of water and sustainability objectives. Advanced technologies like filtration, biological treatment, and water monitoring systems are being combined to achieve cost-effective and sustainable water treatment. Different industries require tailored solutions based on their specific requirements, location, and source water. Economic feasibility and sustainability are also considered when selecting water treatment programs, with minimal liquid discharge (MLD) being a more viable option than zero liquid discharge (ZLD) in many cases. The article explores sustainable water treatment solutions such as non-chemical devices, biosurfactants, and digital technologies, emphasizing the importance of finding customized solutions for each facility's needs and goals.
