Keeping laundry water in use
Commercial washing needs water of a quality suited to the wash. At Kohila, Spacedrip installed a treatment system for part of Lindström’s process-water stream. The installation adds a route from used water back to the facility’s operations.
EE EstoniaIn practice. At Lindström’s Kohila laundry, a treatment system sends process water back for further use.
What to keep in view
The case concerns process-water reuse. It is not a claim that the output is supplied as drinking water.
Start with the reuse destination
What the system has to remove depends on where the treated water goes next. That requirement determines the equipment and operating controls. The launch account describes substantial reuse potential, but the figures need operating records and an agreed baseline before they can be used to estimate savings at another site.

Baking heat, used twice.
Compare reusing heat outside a production building with reusing water inside a working laundry.
Fish, plants and a roof put to work
Aquaponics provides a contrasting case where moving a resource between two processes is central to the installation.
