Laundry & Textile Industry: Industrial Effluent Treatment and End-of-Pipe Water Recycling

To save costs for fresh water and effluents, industrial laundries have installed many internal water cycles. These measures have helped to significantly reduce the specific water consumption. To further reduce the water costs, wastewater instead of being discharged can be recycled as process water.

Membrane separation plants eliminate organic and inorganic substances and avoid their accumulation in the cycle. Due to the link between the quantity of laundry detergent, the laundry detergent substances and the degree of pollution, the membrane
process must be adapted to the individual laundry process. In industrial laundries, which do not have a biological pretreatment, a membrane plant can very easily be upgraded. Not only the water saving but also the reduction of soening chemicals and
heat energy contribute to reduce cost reductions.

Moreover, especially in the textile industry, effluent decolourization is also an important aspect.

WEHRLE owns a wide range of experience and technologies with regard to raw water and effluent treatment and is able to use tailor-made processes or process combinations. Not only the technical solution but also the best-possible cost-effectiveness
of the plant is thus a priority to us.
