Cotton Reactive-Dye Wastewater
Suitable for persistent red, blue or black residual color from cotton reactive-dye production ranges.
Bluwat BWD-01 Water Decoloring Agent
Textile Dyeing Wastewater Treatment in China
A cationic decoloring solution for reactive, disperse and direct dye wastewater, designed to improve charge neutralization, floc formation and solid-liquid separation under changing textile production conditions.

01
Product Overview
Textile wet processing in China does not create one uniform wastewater. Fiber type, dye class, shade depth, washing recipe and finishing chemistry can change the color and charge demand from one production batch to the next.
BWD-01 supplies strong cationic charge to destabilize negatively charged soluble dyes and fine color-bearing particles. It is especially relevant to reactive, disperse and direct dyes.
The treatment objective is not merely to make the sample look clearer, but to produce flocs that can be separated reliably by sedimentation or dissolved-air flotation.
02
Textile Wastewater Problem in China
Frequent shade changes create mixed-color effluent with unstable color, COD and colloidal loads. Conventional inorganic coagulation may remove suspended solids but leave a visible soluble-color fraction.
Operators may then increase coagulant dosage, creating more sludge without proportional color improvement.
Why the Problem Occurs
Reactive dyes can remain dissolved after conventional settling because their water-soluble groups resist simple physical separation.
Polyester dyeing introduces fine disperse-dye particles and auxiliaries that keep color bodies suspended.
Combined drainage from printing, dyeing, washing and finishing causes rapid changes in charge demand and coagulant dosage.
03
BWD-01 Treatment Solution
Use BWD-01 as the primary cationic decolorant, then confirm whether PAC should be dosed before or after it through a jar test for each major production recipe.
The selected program should be based on actual wastewater rather than a universal dose. A controlled jar test identifies the point where charge neutralization, floc formation, separation speed and sludge production are balanced.
PAC can be tested before or after BWD-01, but the two products must be prepared and dosed separately.

Recommended Application Scenarios
Polyester Disperse-Dye Wastewater
Useful where fine disperse-dye particles pass through primary clarification and remain suspended.
Textile Industrial Parks
Can be evaluated for mixed effluent receiving variable loads from several printing and dyeing factories.
06
How BWD-01 Works
Cationic groups interact with negatively charged reactive, disperse and direct dyes and colored colloids.
Reduced electrostatic repulsion allows dissolved or finely dispersed color bodies to associate.
Destabilized contaminants form visible aggregates; PAC may strengthen or densify the flocs where testing supports it.
The resulting flocs are removed by sedimentation or air flotation, producing clearer treated water.
07
How to Choose and Test BWD-01
Separate cotton-rich and polyester-rich samples during laboratory screening.
Compare color, CODcr, settling rate and sludge volume instead of optimizing visible color alone.
Recheck dosage after major shade, salt or auxiliary changes.
Use untreated and current-treatment controls in every jar-test series. Record raw-water pH, true or apparent color, CODcr, turbidity, temperature and production source. Photographs are useful, but analytical results and sludge behavior are required for a defensible selection.
08
Recommended Application Procedure
Collect representative wastewaterTake the sample after appropriate screening and equalization.
Prepare BWD-01 working solutionsDilute the product with 10 to 40 times clean water.
Screen wastewater pHUse pH 7.5-8.0 as the TDS starting range, then test nearby values if necessary.
Dose BWD-01Add it to the wastewater and mix thoroughly for several minutes.
Test PAC sequenceWhere color and CODcr remain high, test PAC before and after BWD-01 in separate beakers. Do not premix the chemicals.
Evaluate separationAllow flocs to settle or evaluate them by dissolved-air flotation, matching the full-scale process.
Compare final performanceReview color, CODcr, turbidity, floc strength, separation time, sludge volume and total treatment cost before scale-up.
09
Expected Treatment Results
The BWD-01 TDS reports typical performance ranges in suitable applications. These are reference values rather than guaranteed results.
50%-99%Typical decolorization reference range
50%-80%Typical CODcr reduction reference range
Actual performance depends on dye class, concentration, auxiliaries, pH, mixing, chemical sequence and separation equipment.
Compared with a high-dose inorganic-only program, BWD-01 may provide faster flocculation and settling and may reduce the inorganic contribution to sludge. Where sludge reduction is a project objective, compare dry solids, dewatering behavior and disposal cost.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can one BWD-01 dosage cover both reactive and disperse dye batches?
Usually not. The two dye systems can create different charge and colloidal conditions. Establish separate jar-test ranges for cotton reactive-dye and polyester disperse-dye wastewater, then set operating windows for mixed effluent.
Is BWD-01 suitable for centralized textile industrial parks in China?
Yes, it can be screened for centralized color removal, but equalization is important. A representative composite sample and regular dosage review are needed because the contributing factories and shade schedules change.
What is the recommended BWD-01 dilution and wastewater pH?
The TDS recommends dilution with 10 to 40 times water and identifies wastewater pH 7.5-8.0 as a useful starting range. Final dilution, pH and dose must be confirmed using the actual effluent.
Can BWD-01 be mixed directly with polyaluminum chloride?
No. BWD-01 and PAC should be prepared and dosed separately. PAC may be added before or after BWD-01 depending on the flocculation test and treatment process, but the concentrates should not be premixed.
How should the final BWD-01 dosage be selected?
Use a jar test with representative wastewater. Compare color, CODcr, turbidity, floc size, separation time and sludge volume. The best operating dose is the lowest stable dose that meets the plant's complete treatment objective.
