THE INDUSTRIAL PAINT SPRAY BOOTH IS CERTAINLY A MICROCOSM OF THE ENVIRONMENTAL PROBLEMS FACING THE INDUSTRIAL COMMUNITY. ALL PHASES OF INDUSTRIAL WASTE ARE PRESENT: SOLID, LIQUID, AND GAS. LARGE VOLUMES OF WATER, PRECIOUS NATURAL RESOURCES FOUND IN THE PAINT, AND VOLATILE ORGANIC COMPOUNDS, BOTH LIQUID AND GAS, COMBINE TO CREATE AN ENVIRONMENTAL PROBLEM OF SUBSTANTIAL PROPORTION. WHILE RECOGNIZING THESE VARIOUS PROBLEMS, THIS PAPER DEALS WITH PROVEN MEANS TO RECYCLE WATER AND DRAMATICALLY MINIMIZE THE VOLUMES OF SOLID AND LIQUID WASTE LEAVING INDUSTRIAL PAINTING FACILITIES. SEVERAL CASE HISTORIES ARE PRESENTED WHICH ILLUSTRATE THE POTENTIAL SAVINGS TO BE REALIZED BY ELEMENTARY WASTE WATER MANAGEMENT STRATEGIES AND WASTE MINIMIZATION. SOME DISCUSSION IS ALSO INCLUDED REGARDING THE DRY FILTER METHOD OF COLLECTING OVERSPRAYED PAINT PIGMENT.
