Caustic Recovery Plants

Caustic Recovery Plant


Caustic Soda Recovery Plants for Textile Industry separate the wash liquor from mercerized into strong lye and vapor condensate. The condensate can be used for pre-washing and the caustic soda can be reused in the mercerizing process once again. Creative Solution has successfully designed, fabricated, and commissioned such installations in India.

Mercerization is a finishing process in the textile industry where the textile fibers are treated under tensile stress with caustic soda. Large quantities of diluted caustic soda (weak lye) are a waste product of this process. Caustic Recovery Plants (CRP) can turn a very large proportion of this weak lye into reusable concentrated caustic soda (strong lye).
For the diverse requirements of our valued clients, we manufacture and supply the finest quality array of Caustic Recovery Plants. Developed in accordance with the quality standards, these plants are manufactured using premium quality raw material and advanced technology.

Advantages :

  • Caustic soda (weak lye) used can be recovered
  • Strong lye recovered can be cleaned with hydrogen peroxide
  • Vapor condensate has a low pH-value (can be used in other processes, e.g. washing in the mercerizing machine, bleaching)
  • Ensuring minimum loss of caustic through condensate and complies with pollution control standards.
  • The plant is highly energy-efficient (the hot water generated is used)
  • Sustainability in the mercerization process
  • Return on investment (Payback-time) less than six months
