Water reuse in industry – challenges, risks, and success factors for stable and economical systems

Water reuse in industry is much more than just a "membrane project." Fluctuating inflow conditions are crucial for stable, economical plants, as they increase the risk of scaling and biofouling. The article shows why robust pre-treatment with buffering, solids and grease separation, and controlled nutrient balance is the key to success, and which technologies and design principles have proven themselves in practice.
