Wastewater management in wool processing

In this course you will take an in-depth look at the nature of wool processing effluents and explore the methods for management of polluting discharges. This course also investigates the methods for removing potential pollutants from liquid effluents and describes the application of effluent management techniques to wool processing. It also aims to provide you with an understanding of the processes involved in the management of wastewater and the options available to wool processors.

By the end of this course, you should be able to:

  • describe the components of the effluents from all wool processes and their potential impact on the environment
  • explain in general terms the methods for treatment of effluents, especially from wet processes
  • describe the concept of waste minimisation
  • outline the application of the management techniques to wool processing effluents.
