Evaporate your waste water away
Natural evaporation of waste water seems to be an undiscovered solution for the industry: the most cost effective way to get rid of waste water contaminated with salt or metals is give it to the wind

There is no longer any global fresh water issue!
In 2004 Zonnewater BV developed a desalination unit based on solar energy (95% thermal and 5% photovoltaic or wind energy), suited for coastal areas with an average temperature of 30 degrees Celsius
That we never think of it as an option is because we don't fully understand the mechanisms leading to effective evaporation.
If we think on solar ponds where salt is produced with the help of the sun in combination with the wind we think that the sun is an important factor compared to the wind.
In fact the sun is meaningless compared to the effectiveness of the wind in the process.
On our website we explain why we think that historical mistakes are made (salt area).
Evaporation is about surface, make it as big as possible and it is about surface tension, reduce it and water will disappear as snow in the sun.
No chemicals no tricks, cheap and effective but above all, no energy apart from the very high wind energy.
The system will NOT work for obvious reasons in area with lots of rain and in areas with low or no wind.
Your boss will not be pleased with this kind of solutions since it is cheap and not very fancy.
Your customers however will be more than pleased with it.
