The CoLD® Process is a proprietary crystallization process developed by Veolia as a simpler and more economical approach to desalination of produced water than conventional thermal processes. The CoLD Process eliminates the need for expensive pretreatment of the produced water, thereby reducing capital and operating costs. The CoLD Process is an ideal solution to address stricter water reuse standards, ZLD, and increasing regulation of discharge limits of total dissolved solids (TDS) facing the shale oil & gas industry.
