US 5,666,827 A · Multi-stage fluid and chemical recovery system for a textile article commercial bleaching apparatus

Abstract

A multi-stage fluid and chemical recovery system for a textile article commercial bleaching apparatus having a plurality of bleaching tanks, a fluid and chemical supply system for providing fluid and chemicals to the bleaching tanks, a recirculation system connected to the bleaching tanks for reclaiming fluids and chemicals from the bleaching tanks after treating quantities if textile articles and for preselectively recycling the reclaimed fluids and chemicals into successive quantities of textile articles in the bleaching tanks. A control system is connected to the fluid supply system and the fluid recirculation system for initiating and controlling the introduction of new fluids and chemicals and reclaimed fluids and chemicals to the bleaching tanks so that each stage of the system operates continuously and/or simultaneously with the other stages.
