Project Background

A packaging manufacturer in Indonesia approached Bluwat Chemicals for help in treating wastewater generated from water based printing ink processes. The wastewater showed strong blue coloration, high organic content, poor settling behavior, and required a treatment solution that could fit within a limited operating budget.

The client needed a process that could improve treatment performance while keeping chemical cost and operation complexity under control.

Wastewater Characteristics

Existing Problems

Before optimization, the client used a simple coagulation system, but the treatment results were not stable enough for practical factory operation.

• Incomplete color removal
• High turbidity after treatment
• Large chemical consumption
• Unstable results across different batches

A more economical and effective treatment solution was required.

Bluwat Optimized Solution

Based on wastewater characteristics and practical treatment needs, Bluwat Chemicals developed a simple and cost effective three step treatment process.

Treatment Results

After optimization, the wastewater treatment process showed clear improvement in both efficiency and cost performance.

The optimized process achieved both performance improvement and treatment cost reduction.

Key Benefits

Cost Effective Solution

Lower dosage and optimized chemical use helped reduce the overall treatment cost.

Easy Operation

The three step process is simple to apply and suitable for local packaging factories without complex equipment requirements.

Fast Clarification

Quick separation of sludge and clear water improved overall treatment efficiency.

Adaptable to Variable Wastewater

The solution maintained stable performance under different production conditions and wastewater variations.
