MBR Membrane Application – Laundry Wastewater Treatment

Last Updated on July 27, 2022 by Kevin Chen

Washing wastewater is generated from bedding, work clothes, medical linen, and functional surgical linen and contains a small amount of domestic sewage. It mainly includes pre-washing sewage, main washing sewage, and drying sewage.

It has the following characteristics: the washing sewage contains surfactants, carboxymethyl vitamins, oil stains, dust particles, and various microorganisms. It has a turbid appearance containing many short fibers, bacteria, viruses, and other potentially infectious bacteria.

Case 1: Laundry Wastewater Treatment

The project mainly deals with the laundry wastewater generated by cleaning the plant’s bedding, work clothes, and functional surgical linen.

Characteristics of sewage treated in this project: the wastewater mainly contains detergents. The effective components of detergents are surfactants, detergents, bleach, and other auxiliary components. Washing wastewater contains a large number of short fibers, and aeration will produce a large number of bubbles. The average value of CODCr is low, but the CODcr value of main washing wastewater is high; the wastewater is turbid, and the color changes with the depth of the washing product; Different from ordinary laundry wastewater, the project mainly serves medical institutions. The wastewater contains infectious bacteria such as bacteria and viruses.

Case 2: Laundry Wastewater Treatment

The project mainly deals with the washing sewage of quilt covers, bed sheets, pillowcases, headrest pieces, and other personal items on all high-speed trains, bullet trains, and ordinary speed trains from Wuhan Railway Bureau and Wuhan three railway stations.

The sewage characteristics of this project are: the wastewater contains a lot of short fibers, a large number of laundry powder foam, the CODCr value is higher, the wastewater is turbid, and sometimes it has a very deep color. The wastewater is large and has a small amount of foam, which contains less suspended matter and a smaller CODCr value. The amount of waste water drained is small, and the water quality is slightly better than that of cleaning wastewater.
