Batik Washing and Dyeing Wastewater
Suitable for evaluation after free wax or oil has been removed or properly destabilized.
Bluwat BWD-01 Water Decoloring Agent
Textile Dyeing Wastewater Treatment in Indonesia
A cationic decoloring solution for batik, reactive dye and mixed textile wastewater, designed to improve color removal, floc formation and reliable separation under variable production conditions.

01
Product Overview
Textile wet processing in Indonesia 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, direct and other soluble or dispersed textile colorants.
The 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 Indonesia
Mixed dye recipes, wax-related residues and variable small-batch discharges create difficult color and flocculation conditions.
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
Small-batch production can discharge highly concentrated color without consistent equalization.
Wax, surfactant and washing residues can interfere with direct coagulation.
Different artisan and industrial recipes produce wide variation in dye charge and solubility.
03
BWD-01 Treatment Solution
Use source segregation and oil or wax control where needed, then apply BWD-01 to the colored aqueous phase under a jar-tested pH and dosage.
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
Cotton Reactive and Direct-Dye Wastewater
Supports treatment of soluble and negatively charged color from cotton fabric processing.
Shared Textile Treatment Plants
Can be evaluated for mixed-color discharges from several workshops after representative equalization.
06
How BWD-01 Works
Cationic groups interact with negatively charged reactive, direct and other soluble or dispersed textile colorants 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
Check for free wax or oil before treating the sample as a color-only problem.
Use composite samples that reflect several production recipes.
Confirm whether sedimentation or dissolved-air flotation gives the better separation route.
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 BWD-01 remove wax from batik wastewater?
BWD-01 is primarily a decolorant and flocculating polymer. Free wax or oil should be removed or destabilized by the appropriate pretreatment before color-removal dosage is optimized.
Is BWD-01 suitable for small batik production clusters?
It can be evaluated in a shared plant, especially after equalization. The operator should use composite samples and simple routine jar tests because individual workshops may discharge very different recipes.
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.
