Dear Carlos,
Ozone, if implemented correctly after a bio reactor is very effective and economical in colour removal in textile and pulp and paper industries. The systems is very simple and easy to implement and on the long run will cost less than any alternatives that I have seen, due to low power consumption and raw product for ozone production being air. Unlike any chemicals that you need to buy, air is free...
If you are interested I could assist you in putting together a small and inexpensive pilot system that will not only illustrate how effective the ozone is in colour removal applications but will allow you to establish the size, price and operating cost of full scale industrial ozone system, that will solve your problem.
The same pilot system with some modifications will allow you to test most of the alternative technologies suggested here and to compare effectiveness and feasibility.
Small investment to construct a small pilot test system will qualify for any R&D tax credit (which will make it revenue neutral), will completely remove any risk (colossal waste of money on ineffective system) and guess work from your project.
Best Regards,
