BATTLE Project
BAT for water reuse in TextiLE SMEs

Maurizio Casarci
the Italian National Public Agency for
New Technologies, Energy and the Environment
ENEA is mainly called upon:
• to promote and carry out basic and applied research and
innovation technology activities, also through prototypes
and product industrialization;
• to disseminate and transfer technologies, encouraging
their use in productive and social sectors;
• to provide high-tech services, studies, tests and
evaluations to both public and private bodies and
enterprises.
With regard to Water Resource Management,
ENEA Environment Dept carries out projects on:




wastewater treatment,
water re-use,
re-qualification of water bodies,
development of new technologies as well as
demonstrative and pre-industrial projects
for civil, industrial, agricultural uses.

BATTLE
BACKGROUND
• IPPC directive
• Previous research projects
Battle in the LIFE Programme
• Specific objective
– Implementation of more advanced techniques (in
connection with environmental protection) than
those described as Best Available Techniques in
BAT reference documents.
• Side objective
– Support of activities addressing obstacles to the
development of clean technologies not covered by
IPPC, particularly those undertaken by SMEs
Expected results
 BATs applicability in SMEs
 Demonstration of the new BAT in the Italian medium-size
enterprise Stamperia di Martinengo (BATTLE’s partner): water
reuse plant reducing at least 50% of fresh water consumed and
the same amount of wastewater discharged in the environment
by a fully reliable, innovative, totally automated, reclamation
system, based on the combination of membrane technology for
effluents treatment and Expert System for plant control and
operation.
The plant will be at demonstrative scale (500 m3/day of
wastewater treated) assuring the production of treated water of
constant good quality for the textile processes.
 BAT for optimisation of water cycle in textile SMEs (for
proposal to the IPPC bureau for the inclusion in the BREF).
Results will be disseminated, with the full support of the Textile
Associations, to reach most of the European companies.
BATs applicability in SMEs
• Identification and analysis of BAT on water (use
and discharge) in the BREF
• Questionnaire dissemination and collection in
IPPC companies
• Audits/interviews in IPPC companies
• Identification of BATs feasible in SMEs and
assessment of applicability
• Proposal of modification and/or substitution to
comply with different needs and constrains of
SMEs
New BAT definition
• Definition of the targets for a new BAT for the
optimization of water use and reuse. (Textile BREF
contains only general advices on wastewater treatment
and reuse)
• The proposed BAT will integrate the BREF indications
with the results of the EU project TOWEF0.
• The proposed BAT is conceived to be included in the
sector BREFs. It has the characteristics to be
considered “best” and “available” according to the
requirements of the IPPC Directive
• The techno-economic feasibility of the proposed BAT
will be assessed in the Stamperia di Martinengo (a SME
close to the threshold of the IPPC Directive)
• A manual for the BAT will be issued with guidelines for
the application in other textile SMEs all over Europe.
Demonstration plant
Stamperia di Martinengo – present situation:
• No reuse of water is implemented
• Primary water (in some cases pretreated by
softening is fed to all machines to carry out the
processes
• Discharged effluents are mixed together before
final treatment in company WWTP and discharge
into river Serio
