Ink and Printing Wastewater Treatment

Printing ink wastewater is high in colour, concentration and variability, and is difficult to treat with conventional methods. These compact units use coagulation followed by plate-and-frame filtration for reliable treatment at small flows.

Why is ink and printing wastewater difficult to treat?

It typically has high colour, high COD and widely varying quality and quantity, which can upset conventional biological processes. Coagulation plus plate-and-frame filtration provides a robust, compact solution.

What capacities are available?

Standard units cover 0.5, 1–2, 2.5, 3 and 5 m³/d, with versions with integrated filtration for tighter outlet requirements.

What is included in the standard unit?

The standard plate-and-frame filter and air compressor are included. Dosing systems are configured separately per project.

Ink & Printing Wastewater Treatment Unit Selection Notes

Application: This ink and printing wastewater treatment unit is designed for wastewater with color, pigment, ink residue, COD and suspended solids from printing and packaging production.

Key sizing data: Confirm wastewater color, COD, SS, pH, ink type, cleaning frequency, daily flow, sludge handling, chemical dosing preference and required discharge limit.

System context: This product can be used as one part of a complete industrial wastewater treatment equipment and waste water treatment systems package. For comparison, see Dissolved Air Flotation (DAF) Unit.

Request a quotation: Send wastewater source, daily flow, peak flow, COD, BOD, SS, oil and grease, ammonia nitrogen, pH, discharge standard and site country so our engineers can recommend a suitable configuration.
