Summary:The textile industry is an important consumer of water. In the past years water reuse was far from being implemented because of the relatively low process water cost and the lack of knowledge about the technical methods of water reuse. The technical feasibility of advanced water reuse has been tested, verified and confirmed during the Levi Strauss research program at Wervik (Belgium). Ozonation as a polishing decolourization step is considered as an integral part of the recycling process. As water becomes more expensive and water resources more limited, this clean technology has a good prospect for widespread use. It cannot be denied that recycling implies considerable investment and higher operation costs for many textile plants. On the other hand reuse is calculated to significantly reduce groundwater demands as well as discharge loads and taxes.
