Best available technique for water reuse in textile SMEs (BATTLE LIFE Project)

The textile sector has a high water demand. Its biggest impact on the environment is related to primary water consumption (80–100 m 3/ton of finished textile) and waste water discharge (115–175 kg of COD/ton of finished textile, a large range of organic chemicals, low biodegradability, colour, salin...

Description
Summary:The textile sector has a high water demand. Its biggest impact on the environment is related to primary water consumption (80–100 m 3/ton of finished textile) and waste water discharge (115–175 kg of COD/ton of finished textile, a large range of organic chemicals, low biodegradability, colour, salinity). Therefore, reuse of the effluents represents an economical and ecological challenge for the overall sector. A user-friendly technique to improve the environmental performances of textile finishing enterprises is pursued with the BATTLE project presented in thispaper.
