Laundries and textiles
Solution
Treatment of process water and wastewater
Industrial laundries and textile manufacturing use various processes with a significant water consumption. Proper treatment of the process water can provide improved recyclability.
We have provided solutions within:
- Cleaning of mats, carpets, clothes, and textiles
- Dyeing of textiles and carpets
Removal of organic matter and microplastics
Environmental-friendly discharge
With our chemical-mechanical solution we can ensure efficient removal of organic matter and impurities. We have documented high removal of microplastics and micro rubber. It provides a sustainable and decentralized treatment of wastewater before discharge and dilution in municipal sewers.
We have proven, that AL-2 Separation System with chemical-mechanical treatment of wastewater can:
- remove > 99% of microplastic particles larger than 100 µm
- remove 98% of microplastics and micro rubber larger than 10 µm
In addition to the removal of microplastics, the amount of organic material and heavy metals is significantly reduced, which means a significantly reduced load on the municipal wastewater treatment plants. AL-2 Teknik’s solutions provide both environmental and economic benefits.
Innovation
Documented removal of microplastics
At AL-2 Teknik, we perform ongoing development projects in collaboration with leading knowledge organizations. Within laundry wastewater and microplastics, we have in 2020 participated in a project under the Danish Environmental Protection Agency’s subsidy scheme MUDP with the title “Sustainable and decentralized cleaning of laundry wastewater, including removal of microplastics”. The project was a collaboration between AL-2
Teknik A/S, Berendsen Textil Service A/S, Dankalk K/S, College of Engineering, Aarhus University, and the Danish Technological Institute.
