Abstract

A bleach liquor recovery system for a commercial bleaching apparatus. The recovery system includes a bleaching tank for bleaching loads of textile fabric items with a predetermined batch volume of bleach liquor and a bleach liquor supply system for providing fresh bleach liquor to the bleaching tank. The bleach liquor supply system includes a chemical mixing system for generating the fresh bleach liquor and a bleach liquor injection line for delivering the fresh bleach liquor from the chemical mixing system to the bleaching tank. A bleach liquor recirculation system is connected to the bleaching tank for reclaiming at least a portion of the bleach liquor from the bleaching tank after bleaching a load of textile fabric items and for recycling the reclaimed bleach liquor into successive loads of textile fabric items in the bleaching tank. In the preferred embodiment, a collection tank stores the reclaimed bleach liquor between the successive loads of textile fabric items. A control system is connected to the bleach liquor supply system and the bleach liquor recirculation system for controlling introduction of the fresh bleach liquor and the reclaimed bleach liquor into the bleaching tank.
