Cross Textiles, a denim and lifestyle brand with customers such as Jack & Jones, H&M, Inditex, Ralph Lauren and Mango, selected NX Filtration for the delivery of its direct nanofiltration (dNF) membranes for wastewater treatment and reuse at its production facilities in Çorlu, Turkey. The dNF technology enables the removal of color and organics from the textile wastewater stream, making this water suitable for reuse in Cross Textiles’ facilities.
This project follows a series of pilot tests during the first half of 2021. These pilots demonstrated the ability of dNF to remove color, turbidity and organics, including specific components for the textile industry (such as dyes, detergents and fixing agents) from Cross Textiles’ wastewater stream. This enables the reuse of wastewater, reducing Cross Textiles’ water footprint. Based on these results, Cross Textiles decided to implement a full-scale water reuse system with a capacity of 1,200 cubic meters per day, enabling them to reduce their water intake with over 50%. The system will be based on NX Filtration’s dNF40 membranes. The system is expected to be commissioned in the second quarter of 2022.
“We are proud to support Cross Textiles in their journey to reduce their water footprint,” Said Rick te Lintelo, sales director at NX Filtration. “This is yet another example of the enormous potential of our dNF technology to avoid wastewater discharge and enable reuse in the textile industry.”
