It is estimated that a large percentage of the planet’s fresh water is used by different types of industries to manufacture products and by-products. Industries are therefore a large consumer of water, and reusing every drop of water brings industries closer to becoming increasingly sustainable, which, in addition to being a necessity, is beginning to be a requirement of end users.

In addition to to reduce the environmental impactreuse of industrial water, generates large economic savings for companiesThe main advantages of this approach are the reduction of demand, the pressure on the water supply, the elimination of the need to transport water and, therefore, the reduction of operating costs, making an industry a more efficient and profitable one. more cost-effective and efficient.

Benefits of process water reuse

  • Lower consumption of water and additives
    The reuse of process water, in addition to reducing the water and energy footprint of industrial activity, represents a significant economic saving due to the drastic reduction in the consumption of process water and valuable additives such as coolants, biocides, disinfectants, etc.

    By reducing feed water consumption, chemical consumption is reduced to maintain the desired concentration.

  • Reduced wastewater discharge
    Benefits of reusing process water in industries.

    – Lower pollutant load and flow in the influent of the wastewater treatment plant (WWTP), thus improving system performance and facilitating the implementation of water reclamation systems.
    – Possibility of increasing production with the same WWTPI
    – Lower cost of the landfill control fee
    – Potential penalties for non-compliance of discharges reduced

  • Higher efficiency with loaded water
    Filter cleaning is performed autonomously without reducing the flow rate of filtered water, adapting the frequency of cleaning to the incoming solids load.
  • Reduced operating costs
    Reduced risk of clogging
    nozzles and narrow passage pipes, avoiding unscheduled system shutdowns.
    Lower feed water consumption with lower energy consumption.
  • Increased productivity
  • Increased efficiency of the production process with less downtime for cleaning and system maintenance.
    A reliable process water reuse system is a contingency plan that ensures water availability in the event of supply restrictions.
  • Longer installation life
    Higher water quality reduces the system’s working pressure, minimizing the risk of breakage and deterioration of equipment and components.

How AZUD Industrial solves it

Option ①

FULL FLOW FILTRATION

Filtration of 100 % of the circulating flow.
To remove coarse particles that may clog sensitive components or narrow passage sections, such as nozzles or measuring and control equipment.

Option ②

LATERAL FLOW FILTRATION

Filtration of 5-20 % of the circulating flow.
To eliminate particles entering the system in installations where it is not desired to hydraulically interfere with the recirculation circuit.

Option ③

CLEANING OF THE BUFFER TANK

Recirculation filtration equivalent to the total system volume every 4-6 hours.
For cleaning the buffer tank, in installations where the recirculation circuit is inaccessible or where hydraulic interference is not desired.
