Recycle your washing water endlessly
A sustainable solution
Water consumption is significant for laundries but reuse of water has been difficult.
Two issues make reuse of washing water difficult:
- Filters tend to clog due to fabric fibers secreted during wash
- Waste products such as phtalates, oil or detergents are difficult to remove from the water.
However, we have succeeded with a method that makes recycling of washing water a very wise solution, when caring for both economy and environment.
Our solution
In a project with Berendsen, we have tested a solution using various filters, UVC light and some chemistry, and are now able to purify the water 100% for bacteria.
Aquarden´s solution combines a unique membrane with an effective cleaning technique, which is followed by UV treatment. In combination this delivers such superior results that Berendsen have now had a washing machine running for at full month without repairs or stopped filters.
Benefits
Biosafe solution: The total solution ensures the removal of phtalates, oil and detergents, thereby ensuring clean and safe reuse of washing water.
No clogging of filters: The treatment method prohibits fouling of the membranes and provides a stable permeate flux.
Optimal re-use of chemistry: An enhanced cleaning technique reduces the amount of CIP chemistry.
Cost-effective: Our solution provides a strong business case as reuse of washing water is much more costs efficient.
Easy maintenance: The complete automated solution with minimal service eases the maintenance process.
Scalable: A fully scalable solution, from 0.5 m3/h to several hundred m3/h.
