Textile Printing & Dyeing Wastewater Reuse

Colour removal, biological treatment and membrane reuse for a printing and dyeing mill.

Challenge

Project Requirements

Dyeing effluent carried high colour, COD and salinity, and the mill faced both discharge limits and rising water costs.

Engineered Solution

  • Coagulation and air flotation for colour and suspended solids
  • Anaerobic plus aerobic biological treatment for COD and ammonia
  • Ultrafiltration and reverse osmosis for reclaimed water production
  • Concentrate handling and sludge dewatering

Results

Outcome On Site

Discharge quality within local standards
A large share of process water supplied from reuse
Water purchase and discharge fees both reduced
