A hospital laundry, located in North Carolina,
installed a wastewater recycling system due to restriction
in water availability and ever increasing water costs. They
installed a Kemco (CMF) system which is now providing recycled
water for the needs of the laundry.
Laundry wastewater is pumped from the washroom pit to a shaker
screen followed by the CMF system. CMF product water (called
“filtrate”) is sent to the laundry’s hot
water system and from there to the washing equipment which
are Continuous Batch Washers (CBW) processing hospital linens.
Dependent upon production levels and time of day, the
CMF system provides for up to 90% of the washroom water needs.
A sample analysis of the water is given in the table below:
