Woven fabric processing includes sizing, desizing, scouring, bleaching, mercerizing, dyeing, and finishing. Each stage produces distinct effluent characteristics, with desize liquor containing high BOD from starch or PVA sizes and bleaching liquors containing residual hydrogen peroxide and alkali.
Reynolds & Bauhm designs treatment systems that handle the variable effluent from multi-stage woven processing. Separate collection and pre-treatment of high-strength desize liquor, combined biological treatment for merged streams, and neutralisation of alkaline bleaching wastewater ensure comprehensive treatment.
Screening, grit removal, and equalization to protect downstream equipment and balance flows.
Coagulation, flocculation, and pH adjustment for solids and colour removal.
Activated sludge, MBBR, or SBR for BOD and nutrient removal.
Filtration, activated carbon, and optional RO for water recovery.
