Case Study: Recycling Of Industrial Waste Water And Surface Water In The Ukraine

Industrial wastewater is potentially a valuable resource for large plant complexes, and if not re-used, can incur significant disposal costs. In addition, surface run off from rainfall can become contaminated on an industrial site, and requires treatment before discharge. This Case Profile describes an installation at a large Chemical Plant complex in the Ukraine, at which RO has been used for some years to provide water for re-use from mixed waste sources. However, the original conventional pre-treatment resulted in high chemical cleaning frequency, downtime, and high RO replacement rates
