Objective
Textile finishing is an intensive water consumption activity and also an important pollution source. The process water is used for preparation bleaching and dyeing baths. It 's usually used for the washing processes. The washing commonly known as rinsing represents more than 75% of total water consumption. It's expected that by proper management of rinsing operations saving of more 30% of water consumption may be obtained in dyeing machines. European textile finishing consume annually 128 million m3 of water and generates very important a waste water. A best management and optimisation of rinsing will allow to save 38,3 million m of water per year in Europe. But it is possible to obtain best results with the re use and recuperation of residual bleaching and dyeing baths. Three main industrial objectives are foreseen in this project: - optimising rinsing operations, - Re using of rinsing waste water or processes baths - Recuperation of residual baths after a specific treatment baths Two main technical objectives are: - development of mathematics model in order to optimise rinsing operations, - definition of experiment plans and experiments in order to re-using or recuperation the waste water. It provides a new way of rinsing management by using measuring equipment which may be integrated in the computer aided control panel. Rinsing will be stopped at the moment when anyone water would be more effective. Less or strong contaminated water will be selected with help of appropriated sensors and diverted to storing tank from which is re used (so that less fresh water will be requested) or treated by ultra filtration or nano filtration. The partnership to carry out this project is an effective conjugation of environmental competencies between the R&D performers and industrial partners which work in complementary activities in four different countries (Spain, Portugal, Belgium and France) This project falls under the area 1 production technologies>> of BRITE EURAM lil program. It concerns, more particularly areas 1.1. incorporation of new technologies into production systems and 1.2 Development of clean production technologies.
