Abstract (en)

[origin: WO9502722A1] The invention concerns a method of water management in a counterflow washing plant with a multiplicity of chambers connected to each other in series. Washing auxiliaries are added and process water is re-used to the maximum extent in order to minimize fresh-water consumption, at least part of the rinse water being re-used as wash water. The invention also concerns an installation for feeding in and discharging water and for adding washing agents in a washing plant designed for water management by the method proposed. In particular, the invention concerns a method and installation for water management in such plants for washing textile fabrics, an agent such as peracetic acid being added as an auxiliary which liberates active oxygen to disinfect and/or bleach the fabric. The process water is re-used, without causing excess consumption, by routing it in such a way that no water containing washing auxiliaries arrives in the pre-wash zone.
