Clean Technology

Cleaner technology can significantly reduce the costs of environmental compliance by reducing effluent loadings and chemical costs in leather manufacture. BLC's targeted leather research and practical knowledge provides the basis for independent advice on chemical processes and equipment requirements for a wide range of cleaner technology options.

Process management

Using the BLC philosophy on cleaner technology, built on process efficiency and optimisation, tanners can benefit from a reduced loading on effluent and real cost savings in chemicals, time and water. An additional advantage of process optimisation is the potential to identify opportunities to improve the quality and consistency of the leather.

Chemical recycling
Beyond process optimisation comes the opportunity to recycle liquors and chemicals. BLC offers a range of complete solutions for the recycling of chrome, soak liquors and, using new membrane technologies, removal of process chemicals from tanning and dyeing liquors.

Water Recycling
BLC has carried out extensive work on the recycling of water using membrane technologies and most, if not all, waste water can be recycled with the range of membranes that are now available.
