Dyebath Reuse: A Textile Example

Dyebath reuse in the textile industry involves the process of analyzing, replenishing , and reusing exhausted dyebaths to dye further batches of materials. Dyebath reuse can reduce pollution concentration and effluent volume, but generally requires a small capital outlay. However, it saves on the cost of dyes, chemicals and energy. An example of the costs and savings related to a dyebath in the US is given in the following table.

Depending on the machine, types of fabrics, and range of shades, dyebath reuse could save companies about US $ 21,000 per year for each machine, following an initial capital outlay of US S35,000-45,000. If properly controlled, dyebaths can be used for 15 or more cycles, with an average of 5 to 25 times.

Recycling in the Fabricated Metal Production

A variety of methodologies exist in the fabricated metal production industry recycle oils solvents, and metals from processing operations. The capital investment required for recycling equipment can be recovered in a short period
