At Alba Water, we understand that every client faces unique water challenges — from varying water sources and flow rates to strict environmental regulations and space constraints. That’s why we don’t offer off-the-shelf systems. We design and deliver customized water treatment solutions that are engineered to meet your exact specifications.
Whether you’re working in mining, oil & gas, F&B, municipal, or power sectors, we take the time to understand your site, your goals, and your operational demands — then build a solution that fits.
We help industries tackle water challenges with advanced, sustainable treatment technologies. Our goal is simple reduce waste, recover more water, and lower operating costs. Through solutions like Minimal Liquid Discharge (MLD) and Zero Liquid Discharge (ZLD), we maximize water recovery while minimizing environmental impact. Our systems are designed to recover valuable byproducts like salts or fertilizers where feasible. Every drop saved contributes to a cleaner, more efficient future. Let’s turn water challenges into opportunities sustainably.

Minimum Liquid Discharge (MLD) has the potential to minimize operating costs of achieving high water recovery while reducing the amount of energy required to operate compared to traditional ZLD processes. With the industry’s broadest portfolio of purification and separation technologies, our solutions can provide cost savings, higher recovery, and improved environmental stewardship.
Zero liquid discharge (ZLD) is an engineering approach to water treatment where all water is recovered and contaminants are reduced to solid waste.
While many water treatment processes attempt to maximize the recovery of freshwater and minimize waste, ZLD is the most demanding target because the cost and challenges of recovery increase as the wastewater gets more concentrated. Salinity, scaling compounds, and organics all increase in concentration, which add costs associated with managing these increases. ZLD is achieved by stringing together water treatment technology that can treat wastewater as the contaminants are concentrated
