Brazil is among the top 4 knitwear producers in the world, and the textile sector is the second largest employer in the manufacturing industry, according to Abit. This volume of production requires significant water use in stages such as preparation, dyeing, and printing, which increases the importance of well-adjusted treatment plants and more efficient processes.
Textile effluents can exhibit persistent turbidity and discoloration, requiring technical control to maintain stable clarification. Furthermore, foam formation can affect both treatment operations and production process steps, increasing the risk of instability and costs.
For this segment, coagulants (organic and specialty), flocculants, antifoams, color removers, and nutrients are essential to increase clarification efficiency, control foam, and sustain biological balance when applicable. In particular, color removal and the adjustment of coagulation/flocculation increase treatment predictability and reduce the need for recurring corrections.
