Introduction
The textile industry is a major global water consumer, generating vast quantities of wastewater laden with dyes, chemicals, and organic pollutants. Traditional treatment methods often fall short in meeting stringent environmental regulations while ensuring cost efficiency. As a leading ultrafiltration (UF) membrane manufacturer, we provide high-performance, durable, and cost-effective solutions tailored for textile wastewater treatment and recycling. Our self-developed UF membranes ensure superior filtration efficiency, rapid production, and competitive pricing, empowering textile manufacturers to achieve sustainability and regulatory compliance.
The Critical Need for Advanced Textile Wastewater Treatment
Textile wastewater is highly complex, containing:
1. Synthetic dyes (reactive, disperse, acidic) – Resistant to biodegradation.
2. Suspended solids (fibers, lint, colloidal particles) – Increasing turbidity.
3. Organic pollutants (PVA, surfactants, sizing agents) – High COD/BOD levels.
4. Heavy metals & salts – Used in dye fixation and finishing processes.
Conventional methods like coagulation and biological treatment struggle to remove dissolved dyes and fine particulates effectively. Ultrafiltration membranes bridge this gap by offering precise physical separation without chemical additives, making them ideal for modern textile wastewater management
Why Our Ultrafiltration Membranes Stand Out
1. Unmatched Contaminant Removal Efficiency
Our PVDF and PES-based UF membranes feature a 0.01–0.1 µm pore size, effectively removing:
Dye molecules (up to 99% removal rate for reactive dyes).
Colloidal particles & microplastics (reducing turbidity by >99%).
Bacteria & macromolecules (PVA recovery for reuse in sizing).
The treated water meets reuse standards for dyeing, washing, and cooling processes, cutting freshwater demand by 60–80%.
2. Energy-Efficient & Low Operational Costs
Unlike reverse osmosis (RO), our UF systems operate at low pressure (1–5 bar), reducing energy consumption by 30–50%2. Additionally, our in-house manufacturing eliminates middleman markups, offering affordable pricing without compromising quality.
3. Robust Design for Harsh Textile Effluents
Chemical resistance – Tolerates acids, alkalis, and oxidants.
Anti-fouling properties – Cross-flow filtration minimizes clogging.
Long lifespan – Backwashable and chemically cleanable for extended use
4. Compact & Scalable Solutions
Our modular UF systems require minimal footprint, ideal for space-constrained factories. They support:
Quick installation & automation – Reducing labor costs.
Flexible capacity expansion – Adapting to production growth.
5. Fast Turnaround & Customization
With direct factory production, we ensure:
Short lead times (2–4 weeks) – Faster than industry averages.
OEM/ODM services – Tailored pore sizes, configurations, and flow rates.
Key Applications in Textile Wastewater Management
1. Dye Recovery & Reuse
UF membranes separate hydrolyzed dyes from wastewater, enabling:
Reuse of dyes in subsequent batches, saving 20–30% in dye costs.
Clear permeate water for non-critical processes.
2. PVA (Sizing Agent) Recycling
Recovering polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) from desizing wastewater reduces raw material expenses by 40–50%.
3. Effluent Polishing Post-Biological Treatment
UF acts as a final purification step, ensuring compliance with GB 4287-2012 discharge standards.
4. Pre-Treatment for Zero Liquid Discharge (ZLD)
By removing suspended solids and macromolecules, UF protects downstream RO/evaporation systems, lowering fouling risks and operational costs
Future-Proofing Textile Wastewater Treatment
With tightening environmental regulations, ultrafiltration is no longer optional—it’s essential. Our membranes help textile manufacturers:
✔ Meet compliance with global water discharge standards.
✔ Reduce operational costs via resource recovery.
✔ Enhance sustainability by minimizing freshwater dependency.
Conclusion
Our ultrafiltration membranes deliver efficient, economical, and eco-friendly textile wastewater treatment. By combining self-manufacturing advantages, rapid delivery, and cutting-edge filtration technology, we provide solutions that cut costs, conserve water, and support green production.
