Milliken & Co., Golden Valley Plant Process overview:
Baled fibers are opened and cleaned via mechanical means. The opening and cleaning of fibers readies
these materials for the open-end spinning process. During the open-end spinning process, the fibers are
configured by mechanical means into a strand of yarn. Spun yarn is accumulated and shipped out as the
final product.
The mechanical processes of converting baled fibers to spun yarn does not require chemical processing.
The plant does require filtration to maintain room conditions, e.g. temperature and humidity. Filtration
is accomplished through air washers located throughout the facility. Air washer carryover and
blowdown is transported via plant drains to the storage lagoon. Chemicals used in the air washers are
listed below (1,2 Chemicals list). These chemicals reduce biological growth and corrosion in the air
washers.
