Colour, salts, surfactants, and metals
Dyeing and finishing streams shift by batch, chemistry, shade, and water consumption pattern.
Industry Application
Textile & Dyeing
The textile industry is one of the largest water consumers, using massive volumes for bleaching, dyeing, and finishing fabrics. Each stage produces complex wastewater rich in dyes, salts, surfactants, and heavy metals. Typically, 80 to 150 litres of water are used per kilogram of fabric.
Remove colour before recovery
ElectroX reduces colour, dyes, and surfactants so downstream treatment is not forced to do all the work.
Lower the ZLD penalty
Reduced hardness, silica, and reject burden improves reuse economics for textile treatment trains.
20%
of global water pollution is from textile wastewater.
Industry Challenges
High salt and sludge generation
High levels of colour, surfactants, and dye in the effluent
High OPEX in ZLD solutions due to low RO/UF recovery
Conventional methods struggle with high toxic content
How ElectroX Helps
ElectroX improves both front-end contaminant removal and downstream recovery economics.
Delivers around 90% removal of colour, dyes, and surfactants from textile streams
Reduces the waste burden that usually compounds operating costs in textile treatment.
Improves downstream recovery by effectively reducing total hardness and silica.
Reduces RO reject and helps bring down the overall cost of ZLD operations.
