Recycling and reusing industrial wastewater for industrial processes to become more sustainable

Water is a scarce resource that we have to treat with care, in an integral way over the entire water cycle. This is even more true now that climate change is leading to wetter winters, drier summers and more extreme weather phenomena. Only an integrated approach to water management will enable us to meet this challenge, which is something that industrial companies are also aware of. They are generally very dependent on water for their processes and also want to make their own efforts to guarantee the availability of water for the future and to contribute to a higher level of sustainability. They do this by collecting and purifying rainwater, reusing process water and condensate flows.

The technology used depends heavily on the application. In the purification and recuperation of almost every type of water, activated carbon filtration, such as the mobile filtration solutions provided by DESOTEC, can prove very efficient. If there is still water to be discharged into the sewerage network or into surface water, this type of purification - based on mobile activated carbon filters - as an 'end of pipe' solution helps to ensure that companies easily meet the discharge standard. Ideally, there is hardly any discharge and the company can recycle a considerable part of the water flows for reuse.

Desotec mobile filtration solutions are extremely suitable to filter all kinds of organic pollutants like COD or BOD out of the water in a very simple way. Depending on the application, activated carbon filtration can be the solution in itself, or it can be part of a multiphase treatment plant that allows to strive for maximum water recuperation.
