Las aguas residuales industriales varían considerablemente en términos de especificaciones, dependiendo de la industria y los hábitos y regulaciones locales. En muchos casos no son aceptadas por la planta de tratamiento municipal, por lo que se necesita un pretratamiento o un tratamiento completo in situ.
Wastewater - an untapped water resource
More and more realise that wastewater can also be a valuable water resource. There are many good reasons to consider reusing biologically treated municipal and industrial wastewater: Increase water resources, reduce intake of new water and limit effluent flow loads to sewers.
Reclaimed water can be used for numerous applications e.g. industrial process water, cooling towers and wash water; surface irrigation of crops, vineyards and golf courses; recreation lakes, wetlands, wildlife habitat and stream augmentation and ground water recharge.
Water treated with Alfa Laval MBR and AS-H Iso-Disc filtration systems can even be used as potable water if a final polishing step e.g. UV radiation, ultrafiltration, nanofiltration, reverse osmosis, active coal, ozone or chlor is added.
