A scientific approach to wastewater recovery and reuse in the textile industry

Wastewater recovery and reuse in industries requires all the basic steps of quality management. It should involve a comprehensive in plant survey of p rocesses with wastewater generation, identification of recoverable streams, and treatment requirements for reuse. It should equally undertake evaluati on of wastewater quality remaining after segregation of the recovered porti on, with specific emphasis on technological implications of appropriate tre atment and compliance with effluent limitations. In this study, all these f actors were experimentally assessed and evaluated for a knit fabric process ing textile plant.
