Kemco’s KLEENWATER ™ System
Assists ALSCO Uniforms® Achieve Water Recycling Goals
For laundry facilities like Alsco Uniforms® Los Angeles, California facility, wastewater generated in the laundry processes offers multiple treatment and recycling and reuse options. Wastewater treatment methods can vary significantly from one facility to another. But the Kemco KLEENWATER™ System offers innovative technology for water recycling by combining Ceramic Membrane Filtration (CMF) and Reverse Osmosis (RO) technology. The Kemco KLEENWATER™ System is the only patented system capable of recycling water while preserving its thermal energy.
Specific affordances for laundry applications of the KLEENWATER™ System include an initial filtration stage, Ceramic Membrane Filtration (CMF), targeting larger particles and more challenging wastewater streams in pre-treating water for the RO process. The CMF tubular membranes effectively remove oils, syrups and solvents, while the RO spiral-wound membranes filter smaller suspended solids and chemicals, ensuring a high level of water purity.
By maintaining thermal stability, reducing boiler demand and lowering natural gas consumption, the KLEENWATER™ System enables Alsco Uniforms® to achieve water and thermal energy reuse rates of 75-85%.
