High-efficiency industrial water treatment systems at textile manufacturing facilities prepare water for air humidification and dust suppression. They also purify water used for fabric dyeing and rinsing, as well as for boiler installations that require large volumes of make-up water.
Water Softening and Demineralization
Depending on production objectives, technological processes, and the types of fibers being processed, specific requirements are imposed on both the quality and volume of water. In many cases, industrial water preparation at textile manufacturing facilities requires demineralization and water softening, specifically the removal of magnesium and calcium compounds.
Ion-Exchange Method of Water Demineralization and Softening
The ion-exchange method used in industrial water treatment systems for softening and demineralization involves the application of a specialized medium — ion-exchange resin. As water passes through industrial filters containing this medium, magnesium and calcium ions are replaced with sodium ions, resulting in reduced water hardness and mineral content.
Membrane-Based Water Softening and Demineralization
All industrial water treatment systems based on membrane technology are classified into several additional types depending on the pore size of the treatment membranes:
- microfiltration units;
- high-performance industrial reverse osmosis systems;
- nanofiltration and ultrafiltration systems.
All of the above systems require scheduled membrane replacement, therefore they must be designed for ease of installation and assembly. The surface area of such membranes should be as large as possible to ensure high operational efficiency.
Materials Used for Filters and Membranes
Industrial water filters and membranes used for water treatment in textile manufacturing are produced from materials that are characterized by the following properties:
- high resistance to the negative effects of the separated medium components;
- high selectivity and excellent permeability of membrane and filter materials;
- the ability of materials to retain the original performance characteristics of the equipment during intensive operation.
Membranes made of polyamide are considered the most resistant to the negative effects of various biological and chemical factors. Cellulose acetate membranes are characterized by lower durability and a shorter service life.
