Improving water-consumptive processes under conditions of operating viscose fibre manufacture

The authors have developed norms for water use and water diversion with the objective of ascertaining the most water-consumptive processes, developing measures to reduce the consumption of free water, and eliminate losses of it. The authors have identified the most water-consumptive technological processes in the basic and auxiliary works in the manufacture of viscose fibre. Results of realizing the developments of the Khimvolokno'' NPO and of the Ryazanskii ''Khimvolokno'' PO, aimed at reducing water usage and discharge of contaminants into wastewater have been presented.
