This report describes the field testing of the Field Laundry Wastewater Recycling System (FLWRS) in conjunction with a military field laundry unit during a training exercise. Results indicated that the FLWRS is an effective method for treating laundry wastewater for reuse in laundry operations. The testing indicated that the following modifications would improve FLWRS operations: (1) Withdrawing wastewater from the bottom center of the treatment tank and returning it to the top outer periphery during recirculation; (2) Installing a pressure gauge in the filter effluent line to allow monitoring of the pressure differential across the filter cake; (3) Adding treatment chemicals only when absolutely necessary to decrease total dissolved solids; (4) Providing instructions on changing chemical doses in accordance with changes in wastewater quality.
