工业喷漆室无疑是工业界面临的环境问题的缩影。工业废物的所有阶段都存在:固体、液体和气体。大量的水、在油漆中发现的宝贵自然资源，以及挥发性有机化合物，包括液体和气体，共同造成了相当大比例的环境问题。在认识到这些不同问题的同时，本文讨论了经验证的水回收方法，并极大地减少了离开工业涂装设施的固体和液体废物量。文中列举了几个案例，说明了基本废水管理策略和废物最小化可实现的潜在节约。还包括一些关于收集过喷油漆颜料的干式过滤方法的讨论。

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.
