Topic 1.
Minimization in consumption
of water and/or chemicals
in continuous processes
in general
Case illustration:
Water for rinsing of printing
belt
Concept In many continuous processes, water and chemicals are dosed independent of
the running of fabric. In many cases this means that water or chemicals dosage
will continue when the fabric is stopped for whatever reason. This project
should assess whether a start/stop of water or chemicals dosage can be automatically
connected to the start/stop of the continuous machine and how such
an implementation influences the running of the machine and the quality of
the fabric. A Danish survey has identified examples of continuous processes in
which the mentioned implementation seems possible: water cleaning of the
printing belt in printing machines, water cooling of the rubber belt in shrinking
machines, water dosage for wetting purposes before drying, water dosage
for flushing purposes, etc.
Improvement potentials Reduction of consumption of water and chemicals.
Relevance A large number of continuous processes.
