The diversity of textile effluents: a unique challenge
The textile and leather industry involves a multitude of processes and products, with each stage generating specific effluents:
- Textile fiber production: pre-treatment with successive washes, spinning with lubricants…
- Textile production: weaving, knitting, with lubricants and cohesive agents
- Finishing: bleaching, absorption or impregnation dyeing, water-based printing, special properties (bactericidal, waterproof, color, etc.).
- Leather processing: tanning, transformation of raw hide into finished leather…
Each operation generates effluents with specific characteristics: micropollutants, PFAS, dissolved pollution, organic and nitrogen pollution, heavy metals (chromium VI, etc.). The complexity of industrial wastewater requires specific solutions adapted to the production site.
Saving water: innovation and reuse
Huge quantities of water are used during the many stages of textile production and leather processing. The increasing scarcity of available water is prompting industries in this sector to adapt their methods to limit this waste. New cleaning technologies, with a series of discontinuous processes replacing several rinses, enable more refined water management. The reuse of treated wastewater (REUT) is an innovative solution for reducing water consumption.
Cutting-edge technologies for optimal treatment
To meet the specific challenges of the textile and leather industries, Ovive offers a range of advanced technologies and systems for effluent treatment:
- Pre-treatment systems
- Advanced filtration processes
- Flocculation
- Tertiary treatment equipment
- Physico-chemical treatments
- Biological treatments
Ovive’s treatment plants incorporate state-of-the-art technologies such as oxidation, membrane filtration and flocculation processes to ensure discharge compliance. Chemical and biological treatment solutions eliminate organic and chemical pollutants, including dyes and suspended solids. Sludge management, a common by-product of wastewater treatment, is optimized to minimize disposal costs and maximize efficiency.
Tailor-made solutions for efficient purification
Every production site has unique wastewater management needs. Ovive offers tailor-made solutions to ensure efficient wastewater treatment. Our systems are designed to treat a wide range of pollutants, including COD, suspended solids and heavy metals. We use advanced technologies such as membrane filtration and oxidation processes to ensure optimum performance. We also offer site-specific industrial wastewater management solutions, including wastewater reuse (WWR) systems to reduce water consumption and high-tech equipment for efficient purification.
