Italy-based Euro Mec, water treatment plants introduced their revolutionary technology ‘Brine Rec’ at the recently concluded ITMA. The patented technology is a waste water management system that recovers salt (Brine) directly from the dye-bath, by doing so the solution gives users the advantage of not only reusing salt again and again but also reducing the load of the effluent treatment and water recovery plant. A well-designed dye house can even eliminate the reverse osmosis plant.
At a time when sustainability is the key for growth, the new technology is a boon to the industry. The technology can also be installed to a single dyeing machine and save on both capital and operational costs. Consuming energy of 8-10 kWh/m3, the technology also ensures heat recovery of up to 60 kWh/m3, besides giving reject waste of less than 15%. “A dye bath consists of three basic elements – colour, salts and heat of up to 90°C, by installing the Brine Rec there is substantial reduction of TDS and COLOR in waste water, which is very useful in waste water management,” says Pranay Behl of Janaksons Group, the India Partner of Euro Mec, Italy.
At a time when sustainability is the key for growth, the ‘Brine Rec’ technology is a boon to the industry. A combination of our waste water treatment, recovery system and ‘Brine Rec’ ensures water recovery of up to 99 per cent.
A combination of our waste water treatment, recovery system and ‘Brine Rec’ ensures water recovery of up to 99% that too without the expensive evaporation process with the help of a proprietary membrane system offered by us. “Since the dirty elements in the water like colour and salt are almost removed from the waste water at the initial stage, the load on the ETP plant is reduced substantially,” reasons Pranay. The technology has already been installed in Europe with great success.
Janaksons is bringing the technology into India and believes that it will be a major hit with the industry. “Environment issues cannot be neglected, but the running cost is a constraint, but with this breakthrough technology, which is tried and tested, dye houses can save on salt consumption and also expenses on ETP as water going to the ETP plants is relatively cleaner,” argues Pranay.
The ETP units from Janaksons – Euro Mec are based on biological oxidation and the specialty of this technology is that it removes the toxicity, eating away the impurities of the water instead of transforming them into a solid form like a standard conventional plant. Further, the sludge produced in a physical chemical plant is 3 times more than the sludge produced in a biological one because of the use of bacteria that eats away a lot of impurities. “The USP is the low running cost as there are no chemicals added and the waste produced is bio-degradable,” says Pranay.
With a team of trained engineers and around 20 ETP plant installations in India over the last 8 years, Pranay is confident that Janaksons is best equipped as a group to handle waste water management.
