Continuous Water Recycling For Reusable Plastic Containers

摘要

The pilot study and full scale installation of UF-RO based System to recycle around 75%of wastewater from plastic pallet washing facility is described. The installed System hadseveral issues that had to be resolved. Cooling tower was installed to cool water to below85°F. Ion exchange Systems were installed after the UF membranes to remove iron andsilica. Multiple filtration systems were installed to reduce TSS before the UF membranes(hollow fibers GE membranes). After that, the reuse System has been working andproducing excellent quality effluent that is reused in the washing machines.
