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.
