Waste Water Treatment & Recycling The Primary Purpose of water treatment is public safety and environmental safety/health. Through reverse osmosis, all harmful substances such as chemicals, soap and human waste are removed before the water returns to the environment.

Ultra Filtration Plant Our mills have installed filtration plants that recycle 250,000 gallons of water per day. This provides 240 m 3 per day in water savings from recirculation of WTP back wash water and counter current flow system in the wash box.
