Water Science and Technology Vol 39 No 5 pp 81–88 © IWA Publishing 1999 Optimal treatment and rational reuse of water in textile industryC. Terras, P. Vandevivere and W. VerstraeteLaboratory of Microbial Ecology, University of Gent Coupure L 653, 9000 Gent Belgium ABSTRACT Because of the increasing water shortage in Flandres (Belgium), it will be necessary to switch over to alternative industrial water supply sources. The reuse of a part of the effluent requires the development and application of advanced water purification treatments in combination with process control. The current technologies under development in the frame of an EU-project are outlined. The latter project covers an integrated process for the provision of recycled water of guaranteed quality with minimum emissions. The whole process is divided into three modules; a sensor protected aerobic stage (SPAS), an anaerobic treatment (ANASORB) and a holistic polishing (HOLIPOL) module. The modules are flexible in application and can be used separately or together. The case of a jeans finishing plant in which a total recycling system at full scale is operated, is discussed. eProduct: Buy this article for £24.00 (IWA MEMBER PRICE: £18.00) All prices include VAT.
