Sažetak
The main environmental impact of the textile industry derives from the “wet processes”, mainly implemented by the textile finishing industry. The textile industry can be characterized as a high water consumer and the overall sector in Europe is suffering due to more stringent discharge limits, raising water costs and partly limited water resources. Up to date few or no process water recycling technologies are in place. Across the textile sector batch processes and washes are applied and due to the inefficiency of the applied process, chemicals are added in excess and are therefore only partly used in the process. The sector is losing competitiveness on international markets, which results in closure of companies and re-location. The aim of the paper is to present an overview of the environmental technologies available ; in order to reduce both the water consumption and environmental impacts, using membrane based separation processes and membrane bioreactors to reduce the amounts of process chemicals discharged. Besides the literature overview, we will present the results of two project groups and their projects: EraSME entitled »High-efficient and cost-effective air-lift MBR for water reuse in textile finishing« working on a wastewater treatment technology for wastewater produced by a textile company. In South Africa (SA) an on-site pilot-scale dual-stage membrane bioreactor system was evaluated for the treatment, recovery and re-use of industrial textile wastewater. The results of this study provides SA’s textile industries, with options to: 1) reduce their water consumption, thereby utilizing less of a valuable decreasing commodity ; 2) meet the discharge standards as specified by the SA government ; 3) reduce the industries discharge costs ; as well as 4) reduce their carbon footprint.
