Industrial water reuse and recycling is the process by which wastewater produced from one source is treated to be reused in the same process or recycled for another. Opportunities for wastewater reuse and recycle in an industrial plant may include:
- General wastewater recycling
- Cooling tower blowdown
- Boiler blowdown
- RO reject
- Once through cooling water
- Ion exchange rinse waters
- Collected rain waters
Various methods for recycling or reusing industrial water are available, depending on water quality requirements, space constraints, and budgetary considerations. Benefits can include the reduction of freshwater costs, wastewater flows, and the size of your water footprint. Operational efficiency and sustainability can also be increased along with improved production capacity due to the increase in available clean water.
Each industry has different sources of wastewater that must be evaluated carefully in order to find the right treatment and reuse solution.
