Hi Mr. Cheyne Jolley,
Everything depends on how the water treatment is organized in the factory on in the cluster of ceramic factories. This industry uses clays, heavy metals and mostly inorganic pollutants. It is possible to recover and reuse all the water to recirculate it in the process and even recover the sediments as many tile factories in Spain do atomizing the treatment plant sediments and recovering the steam. I recommend you to contact ITC (Institut de Tecnica Ceramica) in Castellón Spain. They collaborate with big tile companies to achieve 0 waste.
Sincerely,
Pau Rodenas
