WHY
SPENT FILTER BACKWASH WATER RECOVERY?
There is increasing interest in recovering spent filter backwash
water.
Economics
One reason is that spent filter backwash water represents a large volume of water with low solids content. Recovering this water can result in a savings in water resources and the chemicals originally used to pre-treat it.
Regulatory Compliance
Another reason for recovering spent filter backwash water is regulatory. Many regulatory agencies prohibit the discharge of water plant wastes into the environment or have waste handling procedures that are costly.
