Waste Water Study For Industries (Focused On Textile)

The document discusses waste water treatment techniques for the textile industry. It begins with an introduction about how the textile industry uses large amounts of water in its processing operations, which can generate millions of gallons of dye wastewater daily. It then discusses how textile industries source water directly from rivers using pumps and pipelines, and the potential water pollutants from textile industries like formaldehyde, chlorine, and heavy metals. Finally, it describes decentralized wastewater treatment as most suitable for the textile industry, and lists some common treatment techniques used like screening, straining, homogenization, and neutralization.

Waste water study for Industries (focused on Textile)

INTRODUCTION

Textile Industry are the industries where raw materials are used and processed into final
usable product. The Indian textile industry is one of the largest in the world with a
massive raw material and textiles manufacturing base. Our economy is largely
dependent on the textile manufacturing and trade in addition to other major industries.
But textile Industry is in no way different than other chemical industries, which causes
pollution of one or the other type. The textile industry consumes large amount of water
in its varied processing operations. In the mechanical processes of spinning and
weaving, water consumed is very small as compared to textile wet processing
operations, where water is used extensively. Water usage at textile mills can generate
millions of gallons of dye wastewater daily. The unnecessary usage of water adds
substantially to the cost of finished textile products through increased charges for fresh
water and for sewer discharge.

1. Source of Water to Industry:- Industries uses the river water which is easily
available from to use and cheaper economically which reduce the overall cost of
the textile product ,they uses pump set to supply water from river to textile
industry an through pipe line and store it into large tanks. Firstly they check the
contaminations in water before use and filter it for further process for textile
industry.

2. Chemistry behind water pollution in textile industry :-


Contaminated water in the textile industry may contain formaldehyde, chlorine and
heavy metallic chemicals

3. Waste water treatment techniques:-


Decentralized Treatment for Textile Wastewater
In the case of the textile industry, a decentralized mode of wastewater treatment
makes sense because it brings treatment to the point of manufacture. Also,
treating textile effluent at the source, before it has been diluted in sewers,
significantly improves efficiency. In areas where municipal facilities impose
surcharges for highly polluted water, these charges can be reduced.
Efficient biological and chemical treatments to process textile wastewater are
available, but the agents used in chemical treatment tend to be expensive and
environmentally damaging themselves. However, some microbes used
in biological treatment work together to safely degrade complex organic wastes
and other compounds, while at the same time reducing COD, BOD, and nitrogen.
Textile industry treatment techniques
1. Screening, straining. This first step of treatment is to remove small particles from
the process water. ...
2. Homogenization. This step is useful to mix the water. ...
3. Neutralization. After homogenization, the solution has a pH of around 9 to 10. ...
4. Physical- chemical- treatment.
