South Pacific Laundry installed a Kemco Water Recycling system in 2010 to reduce water usage and costs. The system recycles 85% of water used in the laundry process through two stage filtration including ceramic microfiltration and reverse osmosis. It has the potential to save $250,000 per year in water and energy costs. The system handles challenges like water hardness, foaming, and temperatures. Future plans include reusing recycled water for more applications in the factory.
