Shawn; the issue will be temperature, TSS and oils and grease. since the water recycled will come from various sources the opportunity for cross contamination and "surprise"  feed water changes will be a common occurrence, standard PVDF UF membranes will not be tolerant to this and will fail quickly. Most recycle operations utilize a ceramic UF to tolerate the higher temps and oils. Cost would be prohibitive for a 600 l/day system. You can use carbon block and standard filtration to treat the wash stream and reuse the water in the rinse cycle. some sort of dosing will be required to control chemistry and odor. Typically you will see a 50-60% reuse rate before you start to get diminishing returns. ljessup@kemcosystems.com
