1.1 About the Industrial Activity Textiles are among the basic needs of human being. The textile industries therefore have great economic significance by virtue of its contribution to overall industrial out put and employment generation. This sector has wide spectrum of industries raging from small-scale units that use traditional manufacturing process, to large integrated mills using modern machineries and equipment. There are 2324 textile industries in the country including composite and process houses. State-wise distribution of these units is given in Table 1.1 Table 1.1 State-wise distribution of textile industries

State/UT Composite mills Semi composite processing units Total Andhra Pradesh - 54 54 Assam 1 1 2 Bihar - 4 4 Delhi - 61 61 Gujarat 17 506 523 Haryana 1 74 75 Himachal Pradesh - 4 4 Jammu & Kashmir 1 2 3 Karnataka 8 33 41 Kerala 3 11 14 Madhya Pradesh 3 9 12 Maharashtra 27 222 249 Orissa 1 1 2 Punjab 4 378 382 Rajasthan 2 30 32 Tamilnadu 2 739 741 Uttar Pradesh 4 76 80 West Bengal 8 32 40 Pondicherry 1 4 5

Total 83 2241 2324 Source: Advance Methods for Treatment of Textile Industry Effluents, CPCB April 2007 Textile industries transform fibers into yarn; convert the yarn into fabrics or related products, and dye and finish these materials at various stages of production. In processing of textiles, the industry uses a number of dyes, chemicals, auxiliary chemicals and sizing materials. As a result, contaminated wastewater is generated which can cause environmental problems unless properly treated before its disposal. The wastewater treatment is mostly by primary and secondary processes. However, these conventional treatment systems are not very effective in removal of pollutants such as dissolved solids, colour, trace metals etc. The advance treatment methods, while reducing these pollutants also give scope for recovery and recycling of water and chemicals.

Important positions reckon by the Indian Textile Industry across globe are as given below:

Cotton Second largest cotton and cellulose fibres producing country in the world Silk Second largest producer of silk and contributes about 18% to the total

world raw silk production Wool Third largest sheep population in the world, having 6.15 crores sheep,

producing 45 million kg of raw wool, and accounting for 3.1% of total world wool production. Ranks 6th amongst clean wool producer countries and 9th amongst greasy wool producers

Man-Made Fibres Fourth largest producer in synthetic fibres/yarns globally Jute Largest producer and second largest exporter of the jute goods

Source: Confederation of Indian Textile Industry – www.citiindia.com 1.2 Textile Industry in Rajasthan Textile is an important industry in Rajasthan, accounting for nearly 20 percent of the investment made in the State. Rajasthan contributes over 7.5 percent of India's production of cotton and blended yarn (235,000 tonnes in 2002-03) and over 5 percent of fabrics (60 million sq meters). Rajasthan has leading position in spinning of polyester viscose yarn & synthetic suiting (at Bhilwara) and processing, printing & dyeing of low cost, low weight fabric (at Pali, Balotra, Sanganer and Bagru). Besides, Jaipur is also a well-known center for manufacturing garments primarily for exports. Some knitting units are in process of setting up their ventures at Neemrana. Abundant availability of raw material, availability of trained labor and a network of backward and forward linkages make Rajasthan an attractive location for textile industry. Bhilwara emerged as one of the India's largest manufacturer of suiting, fabrics and yarn. Rajasthan has leading position in spinning of polyester viscose yarn & synthetic suiting and processing, printing & dyeing of low cost, low weight fabric (at Pali, Balotra, Sanganer and Bagru). Besides, Jaipur is also a well-known center for manufacturing garments primarily for exports. Sanganer town, district Jaipur is famous worldwide for its dyeing and printing industries. 1.3 Water Pollution Problems in Textile Industry

Colour Presence of color in the waste is one of the main problems in textile industry. Color is easily visible to human eyes, even at very low concentration. Hence, colour from textile wastes carries significant esthetic importance. Most of the dyes are stable. They are also not easily degradable by the conventional treatment methods. Removal of dyes from the effluent is major problem in most of textile industries

Dissolved Solids

Dissolved solids contained in the industry effluents are also a critical parameter. Use of common salt and glauber salt etc. in the processes,

Page 13: RSPCB - Textiles Case Study

Rajasthan State Pollution Control Board 4 Environmental Guidance Manual – Textiles Projects

directly increase total dissolve solids (TDS) level in the effluent. TDS are difficult to be treated with conventional treatment systems. Disposal of high TDS bearing effluents can lead to increase in TDS of ground water and surface water. Dissolved solids in effluent may also be harmful to vegetation and restrict its use for agricultural purpose

Toxic metals Wastewater of textiles is not free from metal contents. There are mainly two sources of metals. Firstly, the metals may come as impurity with the chemicals used during processing such as caustic soda, sodium carbonate and salts. For instance, caustic soda may contain mercury if produced using mercury cell processes. Secondly, the source of metal could be dye stuffs like metalised mordent dyes. The metal complex dyes are mostly based on chromium

Residual chlorine

The use of chlorine compounds in textile processing, residual chlorine is found in the waste stream. The wastewater (if disposed without treatment) depletes dissolved oxygen in the receiving water body and as such aquatic life gets affected. Residual chlorine may also react with other compounds in the wastewater stream to form toxic substances

Others Textile effluents are often contaminated with non-biodegradable organics termed as refractory materials. Detergents are typical example of such materials. The presence of these chemical results in high chemical demand (COD) value of the effluent Organic pollutants, which originate from organic compounds of dyestuffs, acids, sizing materials, enzymes, tallow etc. are also found in textile effluent. Such impurities are reflected in the analysis of bio-chemical oxygen demand (BOD) and COD. These pollutants are controlled by use of biological treatment processes. In many textile units, particularly engaged in synthetic processing, low BOD/COD ratio of effluent is observed which makes even biological treatment not a ready proposition The wastewater of cotton based textile units is usually alkaline, whereas synthetic and woolen fabric processing generates acidic effluent

Environmental Aspects and Guidance

5.0 General The Textile processing involves both dry and wet process. Textile process consumes large quantities of water, use large variety of chemicals and consume energy. Environmental impacts from textile processing industries include consumption of various natural resources like water, fuel and energy and chemicals. Apart from this textile industry creates water pollution, air pollution, hazardous and non hazardous wastes and noise. Many in plant measures are required to conserve the resources and reduce the generation of wastes. This chapter highlights various environmental aspects from different unit processes and utilities 5.1 Unit Processes in Textiles Various unit processes involved in textile processing with brief description is outlined below Spinning industry

Cotton spinning

Figure (1) shows the production line for cotton spinning. In this line cotton from bales is processed through successive machines to be cleaned from dust, trashes and foreign matters, opened, mixed, carded, then drafted to a thin thread and twisted to produce the yarn. This line could also be used for spinning man-made fibers with characteristics similar to cotton, or blends of cotton and man-made fibers. The produced yarn is wound on large packages with conical shape on winding machines producing cone packages.

Wool spinning

Figure (2) shows the production processes for wool spinning. In this line, wool fibers from bales are scoured to be cleaned from grease, carbonized to remove the plant matter, carded, combed then drafted to a thin thread and twisted to produce woolen or worsted yarns. The produced yarn is wound on large package as final product for weaving or knitting, or for carpet production. The same line may be used to process man-made fibers of the type similar to wool, or blends of wool and man-made fibers.

CHAPTER 5

Page 40: RSPCB - Textiles Case Study

Rajasthan State Pollution Control Board 31 Environmental Guidance Manual – Textiles Projects

Fabric formation industry

Weaving Figure (3) shows the production processes for weaving yarns into fabric. In this line a large number of parallel threads are arranged with the required length, wound on a beam, strengthened and smoothed by sizing, and interlaced with weft threads on the loom to produce a woven fabric, which is wound on another beam (cloth beam).

Knitting Figure (4) shows the production processes for knitting yarns into fabrics. In both circular and flat knitting, yarn packages feed the knitting machine, which forms a fabric by interlooping the threads together, using knitting needles. But in warp knitting, a large number of warp threads are arranged in parallel and wound on a beam to feed the knitting machine. The warp-knitting machine forms a fabric by interlooping the threads, using knitting needles.

Non-woven Figure (5) shows the production line for needle punched non-woven fabric. In this line, man-made fibers are opened to form a fiber web with the required weight, then passed through the needle punching machine, where the fibers are pushed depth wise by barbed needles and get entangled, to produce a felt-like fabric with high coherence and strength. To strengthen the needle-punched non-woven, it may be treated with adhesive to give more bonding between fibers. This may be achieved by spraying the fabric with a chemical adhesive.

Tufted Carpet

Figure (6) shows the production processes of tufted carpet. In this technology, the tufting machine is fed with a large number of threads, and a spun-bonded non-woven fabric, as the ground of the carpet. The needles of the tufting machine make tracks of parallel stitches through the ground fabric, creating a terry surface. The formed carpet is back coated with adhesive resin to bind the carpet pile to the ground fabric and the adhesive is covered with jute fabric as a back. Then, the carpet surface is sheared to improve the appearance and regulate it.

Singeing This process (cotton only) is considered one of the processes for finishing preparation, and is only concerned with cotton woven fabrics. In this process the greige fabric surface on both sides is subjected to a gas flame, which burns the protruding fibers and results in a smooth surface.

Desizing In this process the size materials on the warp threads of the fabric are removed, by passing the fabric in a bath of sulpheric acid or by using enzymes, soap or hot water depending on the sizing material. This process is also considered one of the preparation processes for finishing.

Page 41: RSPCB - Textiles Case Study

Rajasthan State Pollution Control Board 32 Environmental Guidance Manual – Textiles Projects

Finishing industry

Scouring In this process, the desized fabric is passed through a cleaning bath, using alkaline or solvent solutions to dissolve any impurities or soiling on the fabric. Desizing and scouring could be done in one operation in some plants. The operation is a preparation step for bleaching and dyeing. It is possible to do desizing by using hot water and soap.

Bleaching This process (for natural fibres) is also one of the preparation processes for finishing, to obtain white colour in the fabric, by using bleaches, such as hydrogen peroxide or hypochlorite.

Mercerizing This process (for cotton only) is also a preparation process for finishing, in which the fabric is treated with sodium hydroxide to create luster, more strength and higher affinity for dyes in the fabric. This process could be applied to woven or knitted cotton fabrics.

Dyeing This process is the finishing process in which the yarn, fabrics, or garments are treated to add color and intricacy to the product, using dyestuffs, auxiliaries, reductants, oxidants, …etc. This process is well known to be a major source of pollution due to the many chemicals used, and the large quantities of wastewater resulting from the process, and loaded with pollutants.

Printing In this process the fabric is printed with color and patterns, using pigments, dyes, acids, alkalis, softener, binder and emulsifier solvents. Printing is also one of the major sources for pollution.

Carbonizing In this process (for wool), woven or knitted wool fabrics are treated with sulphuric acid to remove the vegetable cellulosic matter naturally existing in wool fibers.

Special finishing

In the special finishing process (moth-proofing, water repellant, stain resist, …etc.), the fabric is chemically treated to achieve certain characteristics in the finished fabric giving it special performance, such as water-proof, crease resistance, …etc.

Brushing and napping

This process is considered as a mechanical finishing process, in which the fabric surface is subjected to a brushing action to raise fibers from the yarns and create a hairy surface in the fabric. This process may be applied to both woven and knitted fabrics.

Shearing This process is also a mechanical finishing process that is applied to woven fabric, to shear the protruding fibers from fabric surface and create smooth surface fabrics. This process is a sources for fiber particulates

Softening by calendering

This is a mechanical finishing process simulating, the ironing process of fabric to produce smooth unwrinkled surface. The woven fabric is passed between smooth pressed rollers to remove surface fibers and reduce friction between fibers, resulting in soft feel in the fabric

Sanforizing This is a mechanical finishing process applied to woven fabrics to compact the structure by passing the fabric between smooth heavy rollers, and produce compacted fabrics

Page 42: RSPCB - Textiles Case Study

Rajasthan State Pollution Control Board 33 Environmental Guidance Manual – Textiles Projects

Garment Industry

Fabric laying

In this process the fabric is laid on a long table in multiplayer arrangement, using a special machine with reciprocating carriage. This process is applied for the main garment fabric, and also the lining fabric

Placing patterns

After collecting the number of fabric layers, the patterns of the garment are placed on top of the layers, and fixed by special pins

Cutting The multi layers are cut according to the patterns by using electric cutter which moves around the patterns to produce garment parts and, similarly lining parts and interlining parts

Sewing In this process, the garment parts are assembled together by stitching on sewing machines. Also, the lining parts are assembled by sewing operation

Sticking interlining

In this process, stiffening interlining pieces are heat pressed on some garment pieces, using a special heat press

Ironing This is a finishing process to remove wrinkles from garment and give a neat appearance

Packaging In this process, finished garments are packed in plastic bags, then in carton boxes according to the size

5.2 Inputs to Various Processes It is essential to control inputs to get right out puts from each process and to reduce wastes. As the environmental impacts arise from the inputs into processes, we need to understand the inputs. The following table provides information on basic input materials requirement in different processes.

Inputs to dry processes Cotton Spinning Raw cotton fibers, man-made fibers with specifications similar to cotton, or

blends of cotton and man-made fibers. The raw fibers are supplied in bales. Wool Spinning Raw wool fibers, man-made fibers with specifications of wool, or blends of

wool and man-made fibers. The raw fiber material is supplied in bales. Weaving Cotton yarns, woolen yarns, man-made yarns, blended yarns, textured

yarns, stretch yarns, …etc. Knitting Cotton yarns, woolen yarns, man-made yarns, blended yarns, textured

yarns, stretch yarns, …etc. Non woven Man-made fibers, wool fibers, or blends Tufting Acrylic yarns, polypropylene yarns, blended yarns with the wool-type. Garment Woven or knitted fabrics, from cotton, wool, man-made fibers, blends of

natural and man-made fibers, interlining fabric and lining fabric, buttons, zebs, …etc.

Inputs to wet processes Sizing Polyvinyl alcohol, Carboxy methyl Cellulose, Oils, Waxes, Adhesives, Urea,

Diethylene glycol, etc. Desizing Enzymes, Sulphuric acid, Detergents and Alkali Scouring Sodium hydroxide, Sodium Carbonate, surfactants, chlorinated solvents

Page 43: RSPCB - Textiles Case Study

Bleaching Hypochlorite, hydrogen peroxide, acetic acid. Mercerization Sodium hydroxide, surfactants, acid, liquid ammonium Dyeing Dyestuffs, auxiliaries, reductants, oxidants Printing Dyes (acids or alkalis), pigments, kerosene, binders, ammonia, xylenes. Chemical finishing

Formaldehyde, phosphorus, ammonia, silicone, fluorocarbon resins, toluene, zircon salts etc.

5.3 Dye Inputs Not all the dye is fixed to the fibre during the dyeing process. Table 5.3 shows the percentage of unfixed dyes for various textiles. The reactive dyes used for cotton have the poorest fixation rate, and since 52% of the textile-fibre market is cotton, most colored effluent problems arise from dyeing cotton with reactive dyes. Heavy metals are associated with the effluents from wool dyeing. Table 5.3 Percentage of unfixed dye for different dye types and applications

Fibre Dye type Unfixed dye (percentage) Wool and Nylon Acid dyes/reactive dyes for wool 7 – 20

Pre-metalised dyes 2 – 7 After chromes 1 – 2

Treatment Technologies

6.0 Conventional Treatment Systems and Limitations Typically the conventional wastewater treatment system in textile processing industries includes screen chamber, oil & grease trap, equalization and coagulation in primary treatment systems. Activated sludge treatment or two-stage aeration, clarifier in secondary treatment system. Although COD/BOD reductions are achieved through this conventional treatment system, objectionable color, high TDS levels of effluents remain and effluents are not fit to be discharged to surface water or on land. Hence, tertiary treatment systems are becoming necessary for achieving disposal standards. The Central Pollution Control Board had recently published a report on “Advance Methods for Treatment of Textile Industry Effluents”. Some of the options available are described briefly here: 6.1 Adsorption The adsorption process is used to removes color and other soluble organic pollutants from effluent. The process also removes toxic chemicals such as pesticides, phenols, cyanides and organic dyes that cannot be treated by conventional treatment methods. Dissolved organics are adsorbed on surface as wastewater containing these is made to pass through adsorbent. Most commonly used adsorbent for treatment is activated carbon. The activated carbon once it is saturated needs replacement or regeneration. Regeneration can be done chemically or thermally. The chemical regeneration can be done in within the column itself either with acid or other oxidizing chemicals. This normally effects partial recovery of activity and necessitate frequent recharging of carbon. For thermal regeneration, the exhausted carbon is fed to furnace and heated in a controlled condition. This process volatilizes and oxidizes the impurities held in carbon. Other materials such as activated clay, silica, fly ash, etc are also known to be promising adsorbents 6.2 Ion Exchange Ion exchange process is normally used for the removal of inorganic salts and some specific organic anionic components such as phenol. All salts are composed of a positive ion of a base and a negative ion of an acid. Ion exchange materials are capable of exchanging soluble ions and cations with electrolyte solutions. For example, a cation exchanger in the sodium form when contacted with a solution of calcium chloride, will scavenge the calcium ions from the solution and replace them with sodium ions However, this process generates backwashes and concentrated effluents, which requires further treatment such as evaporation. This process is not suitable for removal of non- ionic compounds.

CHAPTER 6

Page 54: RSPCB - Textiles Case Study

Rajasthan State Pollution Control Board 45 Environmental Guidance Manual – Textiles Projects

6.3 Membrane Filtration Reverse Osmosis The process of reverse osmosis is based on the ability of certain specific polymeric membranes, usually cellulose acetate or nylon to pass pure water at fairly high rates and to reject salts. Reverse osmosis can be used as end-of-pipe treatment and recycling system for effluent. After primary, secondary and/or tertiary treatment, further purification by removal of organics and dissolved salts is possible by use of reverse osmosis. RO membranes are susceptible to fouling due to organics, colloids and microorganism. Scale causing constituents like hardness, carbonate. Silica, heavy metals, oil etc has to be removed from the feed. As the membranes are sensitive to oxidizing agents like chlorine or ozone, they should also be absent. Ultra filtration This process is similar to reverse osmosis. The difference between reverse osmosis and ultra filtration is primarily the retention properties of the membranes. Reverse osmosis membranes retain all solutes including salts, while ultra filtration membranes retain only macromolecules and suspended solids. Thus salts, solvents and low molecular weight organic solutes pass through ultra filtration membrane with the permeate water. Since the membrane does not retain salts, the osmotic pressure differences across ultra filtration membrane are negligible. Flux rates through the membranes are fairly high, and hence lower pressures can be used. Ultra filtration membranes may be made from cellulose acetate, polyelectrolyte complexes, nylon and inert polymers. Hence, acidic or caustic streams may also be treated. Nano filtration Nano filtration can be positioned between reverse osmosis and ultra filtration. Nano filtration is essentially a lower pressure version membrane where the purity of permeate water less important. This process is used where the high salt rejection of reverse osmosis is not necessary. The nano filtration is capable of removing hardness elements such as calcium or magnesium together with bacteria, viruses and color. Nano filtration operated on lower pressure than reverse osmosis and as such treatment cost is lower than reverse osmosis treatment. Nano filtration is preferred when permeate with TDS but without color, COD and hardness is acceptable. Feed water to nano filtration should be of similar qualities as in case of reverse osmosis. Turbidity and colloids should be low. Disinfection of feed may also necessary to remove microorganism. Filtration Spectrum of Different Membranes

Ozonization Large, complex organic molecules, detergents, phenols etc. can be broken into simpler compounds by ozonation. Among the industrial applications, oxidation of organic and inorganic, deodorization, and decolorization are the main usages. Ozone doses in level of 2 mg/l have been reported to result in virtually complete removal of colour and hard pollutants such as detergents. 6.4 Evaporation Typically evaporation process is used for evaporation of high concentrated rejects of R.O, ultra filtration, nano filtration etc, where TDS concentration is high. Multiple Effect Evaporators, Mechanical Vapor Compression, Direct Contact Evaporation are various methods used for evaporation of effluents. 6.5 Crystallization This method is used to crystallize salts and recover them from its mother liquor. The crystallizers may be single stage or multi-stage for extracting useful chemicals like sodium sulphate, calcium sulphate, sodium chloride, calcium chloride etc, from process solutions and effluents. 6.6 Cost Benefit Analysis – A Case Study The effluent stream bearing high salt i.e. the spent dye bath can be segregated and treated with recovery of salt. This effluent stream has low volume and can be treated using chemical treatment followed by multi-effect evaporation and crystallization. Glauber salt (Sodium Sulphate Decahedrate Na2SO4.10H2O) based dyeing enables recovery of the salt. The other effluent stream i.e. wash water can be treated separately by primary/secondary treatment methods followed by RO system to recover water. A case study done of treatment system by CPCB based on above concept in an industry, which is engaged in processing of hosiery fabrics and yarns with an average production of 5 tonnes of hosiery cloths and yarns per day. During processing i.e. scouring, bleaching and dyeing contaminated wastewater is generated which is about 500 KLD. The treatment of wastewater consists of primary treatment, ozonation, reverse osmosis membrane filtration, multiple effect evaporators and crystallizer. These measures enabled the industry to recover water and glauber salt (sodium sulphate) for recycle in the production process.

Page 56: RSPCB - Textiles Case Study

Rajasthan State Pollution Control Board 47 Environmental Guidance Manual – Textiles Projects

Total estimated wastewater discharge is 500 KLD. Out of this, 50 KLD is from dye bath wastewater and the first wash, and remaining 450 KLD is wash water effluent. In the RO stage I, about 75% of wash water effluent i.e. 382.5 KLD is recovered, and remaining 25% (42.5 KLD) reject is treated in RO stage II. The water recovery in RO stage II is 50% i.e. 21.25 KLD. Water recovery by RO system is 403.75 KLD, which is 80.75 % of the entire effluent generated. Water recovery is also done by condensation of vapors, which was reported to 60 KLD. Therefore, total water recovery in the system is 463.75 KLD, which is 92.75 % of total wastewater discharge of industry. Besides the water recovery, the system facilitates salt recovery, which is estimated to be about 2000 kg per day.

Details of recovery and savings

Quantity of water recovered = 382.05 + 21.25 + 60 = 463.75 KLD = 12057.5 KL per month = 144690 KL per year

Cost of water @ Rs. 50/KL = Rs. 72,34,500 per year Cost of recovered salt (as reported by industry)

= Rs. 0.35 lakh per month = Rs. 4.20 lakhs per year

Total recovery = 72.34 + 4.20 = Rs. 76.54 Lakhs/year Loss/Saving = Rs. 103.05 – 76.54 = 26.51 lakh/year (loss) Saving (without taking into interest and depreciation)

= 76.54 – 64.8 = Rs. 11.74 lakhs/year

water • The pollution load in terms of BOD, COD and TDS in dye bath effluent was measured as

1823 mg/l, 9366 mg/l and 17000 mg/l respectively. The values of BOD, COD and TDS in wash water effluent is 190 mg/l, 586 mg/l and 3104 mg/l

• The wash water effluent after primary treatment and ozonation achieves 77.8% COD reduction and 78.4% reduction in BOD

• The further treatment of the effluent in two stage RO system gives a permeate having BOD, COD and TDS levels of 6 mg/l, 17-26 mg/l and 196-922mg/l respectively. Colour content and hardness were also completely removed

• The condensate of evaporation is pure water with TSS, COD and BOD contents of 8mg/l, 81mg/l and 30mg/l. colour content and hardness were found to be zero in the condensate

• The RO stage I gives permeate water which was found to 76.5% (382.5 KLD) of the total wastewater. This water is recycled in the production process

• The total recovery of permeate water with the use of RO stage II, comes to be 80.75% (403.75 KLD) of the total effluent generation

• The estimated condensate from multiple effect evaporators comes to be 60 KLD and as such the total recovery of water for the entire system works out to be 92.75% (463.75 KLD)

• Recurring cost for treatment waste waster using primary treatment comes to be Rs. 13.46 per KL. When primary treatment and RO system are put together, the recurring cost goes up to 23.07 per KL. With all the treatment units (primary + RO + Evaporation crystallize) this cost comes to be Rs. 41.53 per KL of wastewater

• The industry recovers water and glauber salt, which gives returns of Rs. 76.54 lakhs per year 6.8 Limitations of Advance Treatment Methods For advance treatment like reverse osmosis, different units such as sand filter, activated carbon adsorption, iron and manganese filter etc. may be required to meet the feed effluent requirement. Maintaining desired effluent quality at each stage requires regular monitoring. The treatment system requires trained manpower to operate. In some cases suppliers man the system. Activated carbon and other media are periodically required to be replaced or regenerated. Regeneration is a specialized operation. Performance of membrane filtration largely depends on the performance of primary treatment system. Consistency in primary treatment system is of prime importance. The evaporators used for effluent volume reduction or concentration is not free from trouble. They require frequent cleaning to remove scale deposition on tube walls. Reverse osmosis technology is extensively being used for water purification and now gained importance in wastewater treatment as well. The filtration methods do need to dispose high concentrated wastewater produced as reject. 6.9 Recommendations of CPCB for Effluent Management in Textile Industries Textile industry effluent can be treated with or without segregation of effluent streams. Treatment of effluent streams collectively can give recovery of water but the recovery of salt may not be feasible. Segregation of effluent streams on other hand makes it possible to recover both water and salts. The highly polluting effluent streams such as spent dye bath has low volume, which is normally 10 per cent of the total effluent discharge. Low polluting streams like wash water contributes the remaining 90 per cent of effluent. In plant house keeping measures reduce the volume of the effluents. Segregation of these streams could be so managed that low polluting stream contains nominal dissolved solids so that it meets quality requirement for its reuse or disposal after treatment. Advance treatment methods can be appropriately applied to manage both the effluent streams.

Page 59: RSPCB - Textiles Case Study

Rajasthan State Pollution Control Board 50 Environmental Guidance Manual – Textiles Projects

For effective management of effluent in textile industries, some options are as below:

• The highly polluting effluent stream can be segregated and evaporated after primary

treatment system. As volume is less, cost of treatment will be less. The other low polluting streams can be given primary/secondary/tertiary treatment to meet the disposal standards or for use in industry for appropriate operations. With the application of reverse osmosis, the effluent stream can be made suitable for reuse in production process itself. The reject stream of reverse osmosis to is be treated along with high polluting effluent stream which can be evaporated

• Spent dye bath effluent can be segregated and treated with recovery of salt. This effluent can be treated using a primary treatment followed by evaporation and crystallization. Glauber salt (Sodium Sulphate decahydrate, Na2SO4.10H2O) based dyeing enables recovery of the salt. The other effluent stream i.e. wash water can be treated separately in primary/secondary/tertiary treatment to meet the disposal standards or for reuse. It can also be treated with reverse osmosis system to recover and recycle water.

• Segregate spent dye bath effluent from wash water streams for further treatment. Dye bath effluent is to be treated using a Nan filtration system and wash water effluent with reverse osmosis. Nano filtration allows maximum passage of the salt with no colour in the permeate. As such, the permeate can be directly recycled back to dye bath so as to minimize fresh addition of salt. For this option, common salt (Sodium Chloride, NaCl) is advised for usage in dyeing process. The rejects of reverse osmosis and Nano filtration can be disposed of through evaporation system.

• The effluent stream arising out of textile processing can be collectively treated using primary/secondary/tertiary treatment to meet the disposal standards. In case, wastewater is planned for reuse, and then treated water can be treated with the use of reverse osmosis or other methods. The reject stream of reverse osmosis can be disposed of through evaporation system. But this option increases treatment costs due to large volume of waste

Good Practices

Textile processing units, particularly wet processing units consume large quantities of water and discharge large quantities of wastes. Also, uses various chemicals and dyes, which can harm the environment. There are opportunities of using alternative chemicals and reducing generation of wastes from process by adopting CP techniques. This chapter outlines some of the measures based on the literature survey. 7.0 Use of Alternative Dyes A number of dyes have been banned from use due to their potentially toxic, mutagenic or carcinogenic properties. Some of the dyes are known to release amines during processing. Due to carcinogenic potential of these amines, many dyes are being banned or suggested to go alternative dyes in many countries. List of alternatives for such potentially dangerous dyes are given hereunder Table. 7.0 Usage of Alternative Dyes

• Single-stage desizing-scouring-bleaching processes for processing cellulosics and their blends with synthetics

• Solvent-aided scouring and bleaching processes • Activated peroxide bleaching taking chemically-treated goods straight into a peroxide

bath through the washing machine

• Dyeing-sizing of warp yarns for denim-style products • Hot mercerization in place of conventional cold mercerization, often enabling the

elimination of separate scouring treatment. • Combined disperse and reactive/direct colour dyeing of blended fabrics containing low

percentages of cellulosics • Use of padding method in place of exhaust methods for dyeing, wherever possible • Use of bicarbonate in a peroxide bath for vat oxidation to convert caustic alkalinity into

carbonate alkalinity for its easier removal. Alkalinity requires a plentiful supply of water • Electrolytic process for the dyeing of vat colors and reduction-clearing of disperse-colour

printed synthetic fabrics • Dry-heat fixation techniques for the development of Rapidogen prints in place of the

conventional acid-steaming method • Direct finishing of pigment-printed goods and direct carbonising of disperse-printed

goods without intermediate washing

• The pre-treatment of cellulosic fibres with cationic compounds increases the degree of fixation for reactive dyestuffs

• The alkaline dyeing process for polyester fibres offers shorter dyeing cycles by avoiding pH changes, and improved quality by reducing oligomer problems.

• Computer systems to control the dyeing process and optimize recipes. Programs to take account of varying liquor ratios and calculate the optimum pH, salt, alkali and other chemical levels. Other factors such as fibre, temperature, time and dye-house structure to be accommodated in these programming

• In rotary screen printing, up to 8.5 kg of colour or print paste can be present in the pipe between the dye tank and squeegee blade. This will be ‘lost’ when the pipe is cleaned out at changeover. Reduced-diameter pipe work and reverse compressed air injection have reduced this loss to just 1.5 kg

• Wash water use for squeegee cleaning can be reduced from 100 liters per squeegee by replacing manual washing with automatic high pressure water cleaning

Page 64: RSPCB - Textiles Case Study

Rajasthan State Pollution Control Board 55 Environmental Guidance Manual – Textiles Projects

7.4 Chemical Recovery & Re-Use Options The recovery and re-use of chemicals are to be explored in the following areas:

• The re-use of dye solutions from the dye bath; • The recovery of caustic after the mercerizing process; • The recovery of size in cotton processing (in practice this is limited to integrated

operations which apply and remove size) In conventional dyeing, usually only the dye and a few specialty chemicals are totally consumed during the process. Most of the chemicals remain in the dye bath and are discarded with it. The feasibility of dye bath re-use depends on dye, colour, shade and whether dyeing is carried out in a batch or a continuous process. In some cases, dye baths can be re-used at least 5 - 10 times (in other cases up to 25 times) until the build-up of impurities limits further re-use. 7.5 Water Conservation Measures Repair leaks, faulty valves etc Establish maintenance checklists and set priorities for repair, depending on the severity of the fault. Remember that small, constant leaks may look insignificant but the associated water loss can be substantial, especially if multiplied over a whole site. Remember, too, that leaks continue for 24 hours/day, seven days/week. Turn off running taps and hoses This simple procedure can result in substantial savings. People are often unaware of the cost of leaving taps and hoses running. They are more likely to turn off running taps and hoses if they are made aware of the annual cost of waste. Meanwhile, fixing hand triggers to hoses is a simple way of reducing water use and saving money. Water Conservation Measures • Installing water meters to monitor water use, • Using automatic shut-off nozzles and marking hand-operated valves in such a way that open, close and directed-flow positions are easily identified • Using high-pressure, low volume-cleaning systems, such as CIP (clean in place) for washing equipment • Installing liquid level controls with automatic pump stops where overflow is not likely to occur • Recycling cooling water through cooling towers • Minimizing spills on the floor minimizes floor washing in the dye house • Repairing leaks in the water pipe network • Handling solid waste dry • Recycling steam condensate whenever possible

Page 65: RSPCB - Textiles Case Study

Rajasthan State Pollution Control Board 56 Environmental Guidance Manual – Textiles Projects

• Using technologies which do not require large quantities of water, such as low dye bath ratio, high pressure steam washing and plasma cleaning of fabrics Process Water Re-Use Options Significant savings can be made in textile processing industries by recovering and re-using of water at processes itself. Few areas where these options can be examined by the units are out lined hereunder: • Recycling of final wash water after H2O2 bleaching as a wash water for second scouring

step or for earlier bleaching steps • Reusing bleaching wash water to start another bleaching batch • Re-use of hot bleach water for starting optical brightening batch • Re-use of optical brightening wash water to start another batch of optical brightening batch • Final wash water of cone scouring and bleaching can be used as wash water for scouring

and bleaching • Cold rinse water used after scouring step for sulphur black dying can be used for the

reduction step • Re-use of hydrosulphite wash water for another batch of hydrosulphite batch • Re- use of clarified print wash water in washing and blankets and screens of the print

machine 7.6 Energy Conservation Measures • Insulation of steam pipelines • Insulation of steam traps • Repairing or replacing steam valves • Maximizing boiler efficiency by periodical maintaiance • Re-use of condensate • Adoption of low temperature dying & printing • Installing pressure regulators on steam lines • Monitoring the rate of energy consumption for the factory (KWH/kg product) and

comparing it with the international standards • Reducing the rate of end breaks per thousand spindle per hour on the spinning machine,

because the production / hour increases while the energy consumption is constant, resulting in lower specific energy consumption

• Optimizing the level of light intensity, and avoiding bright lighting of work area 7.7 Establish a Waste Management Team The first step is to include a waste management team with the responsibility, commitment and resources for implementing water, chemicals, and effluent management programme. The stages for implementing water, chemical and effluent management programme are: • Establish a management team

Page 66: RSPCB - Textiles Case Study

Rajasthan State Pollution Control Board 57 Environmental Guidance Manual – Textiles Projects

• Plan the programme (resources, targets and time scales) • Carryout an audit to establish water and chemicals use and effluent production • Identify all opportunities for reducing the consumption of water and chemicals • Assess the feasibility of options • Implement the solutions • Monitor the implemented options • Report the progress and cost savings to the work force and to management • Manage the initiate to sustain and increase savings

Annexure - 22

Noise Limits for Generator Sets run with Diesel 1. Noise limit for diesel generator sets (up to 1000 KVA) manufacture on or after the 1st July 2003 The maximum permissible sound pressure level for new diesel generator (DG) sets with rated capacity up to 1000 KVA, manufactured on or after the 1st July, 2003 shall be 75 dB (A) at 1 meter from the enclosure surface The diesel generator sets should be provided with integral acoustic enclosure at the manufacturing stage itself The implementation of noise limit for these diesel generator sets shall be regulated as given in paragraph 3 below 2. Noise limit for DG sets not covered by paragraph 1 Noise limits for diesel generator sets not covered by paragraph 1, shall be as follows: 2.1 Noise from DG set shall be controlled by providing an acoustic enclosure or by treating the room acoustically, at the users end 2.2 The acoustic enclosure or acoustic treatment of the room shall be designed for minimum 25 dB (A) insertion loss or for meeting the ambient noise standards, whichever is on the higher side (if the actual ambient noise is on the higher side, it may not be possible to check the performance of the acoustic enclosure/acoustic treatment. Under such circumstances the performance may be checked for noise reduction up to actual ambient noise level, preferably, in the nighttime). The measurement for insertion loss may be done at different points at 0.5m from the acoustic enclosure/room, and then averaged 2.3 The DG set shall be provided with proper exhaust muffler with insertion loss of minimum 25 dB (A) 2.4 these limits shall be regulated by the State Pollution Control Boards and the State Pollution Control Committees 2.5 Guidelines for the manufacturers/users of Diesel Generator sets shall be as under:

01. The manufacturer shall offer to the user a standard acoustic enclosure of 25 dB (A) insertion loss and also a suitable exhaust muffler with insertion loss of 25 dB(A) 02. The user shall make efforts to bring down the noise levels due to the DG set; outside hid premises, within the ambient noise requirements by proper siting and control measures

03. Installation of a DG set must be strictly in compliance with the recommendations of the DG set manufacturer 04. A proper routine and preventive maintenance procedure for the DG set should be set and followed in consultation with the DG set manufacturer which would help prevent noise levels of the DG set from deteriorating with use

3. Limits of noise for DG Sets (Up to 1000 KVA) Manufactured on or after the 1st July 2003 3.1 Applicability

01. These Rules apply to DG sets up to 1000 KVA rated output, manufactures of imported in India, on or after 1st July 2003

02. These rules shall not apply to

a. DG sets manufactures or imported for the purpose of exports outside India; and b. DG sets intended for the purpose of sample and not for sale in India
