Water Supply and Recirculation Systems
topic
Water-jet weaving rooms require closed-loop water supply systems that collect water from the fabric and loom floor, filter to remove fibre and finish contaminants through coarse screens and fine filters, adjust pH to 6 to 8 to prevent nozzle corrosion, and recirculate to the pump system, with makeup water addition compensating for evaporation losses while effluent discharge management addresses finish and fibre-contaminated water disposal regulations.
Role
Manages the water usage and environmental impact of water-jet weaving through recirculation systems that minimise fresh water consumption and effluent discharge volume, with water quality management being critical for maintaining consistent insertion performance since contaminated water increases nozzle wear and reduces insertion reliability through variable hydraulic properties of contaminated water streams.
