An Integrated Nanofiltration + Evaporation Solution for High Strength Rubber Wastewater Treatment, Water Reuse and Zero Liquid Discharge

This paper describes a solution combining membrane filtration and evaporation that was developed in the PROMETHEUS project aiming to treat high strength, polymer containing rubber part manufacturing wastewater. A pilot study was carried out in early 2012 at a rubber factory, Cikautxo, located in the Basque Country in Spain
