Original Abstract

There is a limited amount of fresh water in the world. Almost everyone knows this fact, so companies are considering water reuse. In some cases, however, the thought of what waste we produce when we reuse water is overlooked. This article deals with the classification of concentrate from membrane processes, specifically reverse osmosis concentrate. Membrane technology was used for water reuse in an industrial laundry. It is necessary to consider how the concentrate is subsequently handled in membrane processes. The concentrate may be concentrated to the point that it no longer meets the legal limits. The following limitations were monitored: Decree No 428/2001, which defines the sewer regulations and Decree No 8/2021, which defines hazardous waste. This work aims to determine if it is possible to discharge reverse osmosis concentrate into the sewerage system and whether it is hazardous waste or not. The results of this work show that the monitored parameters present in the reverse osmosis concentrate osmosis are above the limit for discharge to the sewer. Still, at the same time, they are below the limit to be classified as hazardous waste.
