Aqua-Chem Develops New Dye-Removal Solution in Wastewater

Aqua-Chem, in collaboration with J&J Industries, has developed a new solution to remove dye and chemical additives from industrial wastewater used in large-scale carpet manufacturing.

The new solution, developed as a pilot project, will allow 70% of wastewater effluents in dyeing operations to be reused and is expected to recover 90% of wastewater in the full-scale system.

The recovered water can be reused in carpet dyeing in an environmentally innovative process, reports environmental-protection.org.uk.

Enviro-Solutions, an industrial water treatment equipment and chemical company that was acquired recently by Aqua-Chem, also participated in the pilot project.
