ENVIRONMENTAL COMPLIANCE CHALLENGES AND SCOPE FOR ENHANCED COMPLIANCE IN THE TEXTILE INDUSTRY

Overview

Types Of Textile Industry Pollution Problems of Textile Industry Specific Problems in environmental

COMPLIACE aspects Prospective and Proven Remedial

Measures for sustainable compliance Action-oriented Conclusions

TYPES OF TEXTILE INDUSTRY

DECENTARALISED AND ORGANISED SECTORS

GINNING,POWERLOOMS, YARN DYEING UNITS,INTEGRATED PROCESS HOUSES,DENIM PROCESSING AND APPAREL UNITS,HOSIERY UNITS,HAND OPERATED COTTAGE UNITS,KNITTING AND DYEING UNITS

CARPET INDUSTRY,FULLY INTEGRATED COMPOSITE TEXTILE MILLS,WOOLEN INDUSTRY,READY MADE GARMENT INDUSTRY,HAND LOOM INDUSTRY,TRADITIONAL TEXTILE UNITS, JUTE INDUSTRY,GEO TEXTILES,INDUSTRIAL FABRICS,CARBON FIBRE INDUSTRY

POLLUTION PROBLEMS OF THE TEXTILE INDUSTRY

WATER,SOLID WASTE DISPOSAL, HAZARDOUS WASTE DISPOSAL, AMBIENT AIR QUALITY,RECYCLING OF WATER AND

CHEMICALS ,RECOVERY OF WASTE HEAT,SUSTAINABLE COMPLIANCE OF

ENVIRONMENTAL AUDIT REQUIREMENTS, ADOPTION OF CLEAN TECHNOLOGIES, and CLEANER

PRODUCTION PRACTICES CONTROL OF GREEN HOUSE GASES, SUSTAINABILITY OF CLEAN DEVELOPMENT TOTAL LACK OF CONCEPT AND PHILOSOPHY OF GREEN CHAIN

MECHANISM POOR QUALITY OF PRODUCTS IN COMPARISION TO THE

WORLD STANDARDS LACK OF EFFICIENT TERTIARY MEASURES LACK OF KNOWLEDGE OF EMERGING TECHNOLOGIES POOR FOCUS ON SAFETY,HEALTH AND HYGIENE ASPECTS

AND TOTAL INDIFFERENCE TO SOCIETAL RESPONSIBILITY

MECHANISM,QUALITY STANDARDS, REMOTE SENSING OF THE ENVIRONMENT

SCENARIO IN CLUSTERS OF THE INDUSTRY, INSTRUMENTATION AND CONTROL IN

POLLUTION CONTROL SYSTEMS, AND POOR INFRASTRUCTURE AND TRAINING IN ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION CONTROL SYSTEMS, INDIFFERENT/NEGLIGENT MANAGEMENT FOCUS ON POLLUTION CONTROL ISSUES

USUALLY POOR PERFORMANCE OF THE COMMON EFFLUENT TREATMENT PLANTS

SPECIFIC CURRENT BURNING PROBLEMS IN THE ENVIRONMENTAL ASPECTS

SUSTAINABLE COMPLIANCE OF ENVIRONMENTAL AUDIT STIPULATIONS

HIGH COLOUR,C O D,T D S,AND, PH IN PRTICULAR INDUSTRY LIKE CARBONISING POLYESTER INDUSTRY

REMOVAL OF RSPM,Sox,AND FUMES FROM VARIOUS EXHAUSTS

SUSTAINABLE WASTE HEAT RECOVERY SYSTEMS

RAW WATER QUALITY,AVAILABILITY,AND REUSE OF THE TREATED EFFLUENT

SOLID WASTE,HAZARDOUS AND NON-HAZARDOUS,DISPOSAL

COMPLIANCE OF ZERO DISCHARGE REQUIREMENTS

OBSOLETE ENVIRONMENT MANAGAMENT CONTROLS AND SYSTEMS IN THE FACE OF INCREASINGLY STRINGENT STANDARDS

MOST OF THE EXISTING MANUFACTURING OPERATIONS AND PRACTICES FOLLOWED ARE NOT AT ALL AMENABLE FOR SUSTAINABLE AND GENUINE COMPLIANCE, DUE TO TECHNICAL,ECONOMICAL AND MIND-SET RELATED CONSTRAINTS

LACK OF SPACE FOR THE PLANTS AND MACHINERY ON POLLUTION CONTROL

RECOVERY OF UNFIXED DYES,SYNTHETIC SIZING CHEMICALS LIKE ACRYLATES, CAUSTIC SODA IN LOW CONCENTRATION IN THE DISCHARGES,RECOVERY OF HEAT FROM STENTER EXHAUSTS

ADOPTION OF CLEAN DEVELOPMENT MECHANISM AND CLEAN PRODUCTION PRACTICES ON A WIDER AND SUSTAINABLE SCALE

EFFICIENT COMBUSTION OF FUELS IN THE BOILERS AND THERMIC FLUID HEATERS,AND EFFICIENT USE OF ELECTRIC POWER—POOR ENERGY USE AND RESULTANT HUGE GREEN FOOTPRINT

POOR/NO INSTRUMENTATION AND CONTROL IN ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS WITH POOR,UNRILIABLE RECORDS

TOTAL LACK OF ECO-FRIENDLY PRACTICES IN MANUFACTURING OPERATIONS

INEFFICIENT OPERATIO AND POORLY DESIGNED COMMON EFFLUENT TREATMENT PLANTS FOR THE TEXTILE CLUSTERS

POROSPECTIVE AND PROVEN REMEDIAL MEASURES FOR ENHANCED COMPLIANCE

RECOVERY OF HEAT AND WATER BY WELL-PROVEN TECHNOLOGIES LIKE WASTE HEAT BOILERS,HEAT EXCHANGERS,NANO FILTRATION,REVERSE OSMOSIS,AND SO ON

PROVISION OF PLC-BASED CONTROLS ON THE BOILERS, THERMIC FLUID HEATERS AND E T P

USE OF ECO-FRIENDLY FUELS LIKE LOW- SULFER COAL,AGRO WASTES,AND FLUIDISED COMBUSTION AND OTHER MORE EFFICIENT COMBUSTION TECHNIQUES

USE OF CNG AND INDUSTRIAL GASEOUS FUELS REDUCTION IN WATER CONSUMPTION AT THE

MANUFACTURING STAGES BY INCORPORATION OF VARIOUS PROVEN TECHNIQUES LIKE, SQUEEZE ROLLERS,COUNTER CURRENT OPERATIONS,AUTOMATIC TEMPERATURE CONTROLLERS,COMPARTMENTALISATION,AND REUSE OF TREATED EFFLUENT IN WASHING OPERATIONS AND SO ON

AUTOMATIC Ph COTROLLER AND D. O. AND TEMPERATURE SENSORS,FLOW MESUREMENT DEVICES IN E T P

INCORPORATING OF SLUDGE DEWATERING EQUIPMENTS LIKE FILTER PRESSES,BELT PRESS SYSTEMS,VACUUM FILTRATION,SOLAR DRYING,ETC

INCORPORATION OF ONLINE CONTROLS INCORPORATION OF CLEANER PRODUCTION AND

CLEAN TECHNOLOGY INITIATIVES PROPER TRAINING OF THE TECHNICIANS, AND

ADOPTION OF ECO-FRIENDLY PRACTICES

PROPER DESIGN AND OPERATION OF C E T PS

PARADIGM SHIFT IN THE TOP MANAGEMENT PERCEPTION ON ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES

TRYING NOVEL EMERGING MANUFACTURING AND TREATMENT TECHNOLOGIES LIKE HIGH EXHAUSTION DYES,DRY PROCESSING,WIND AND SOLAR POWER,COMPACT CAPTIVE POWER GENERATION ETC

USE OF BIO-AUGMENTATION AND BIO-REMEDIATION IN E T P AND SOLID WASTE DISPOSAL

Action-oriented Conclusions THE TEXTILE INDUSTRY MANIFESTS EXTREME WIDE

VARIATION IN THE MANUFACTURING OPERATIONS AND PRACTICES DEPENDING UPON THE TYPE OF PRODUCT AND THE SIZE AND SECTOR OF THE INDUSTRY AND,THEREFORE,DEFIES ANY GENERALISED COMMON APPROACH TO THE ENVIRONMENTAL COMPLIANCE.

HOWEVER, THERE ARE A FEW COMMON FEATURES AND TRENDS AND THERE ARE A VAST VARIETY OF UNCOMMON ISSUES IN THE POLLUTION CONTROL ACROSS THE ENTIRE SPECTRUM OF THE INDUSTRY.

INCORPORATION OF A VAST ARRAY OF DEVICES NOW AVAILABLE IN THE COUNTRY LIKE AUTOMATIC CONTROLS,MORE EFFICIENT ENERGY SYSTEMS,MINIMISATION OF WATER CONSUMPTION THROUGH SEVERAL AUTOMATIC AND RETROFITTABLE MEASURES,MODERNISATION OF THE EXISTING E M S,USE OF SUITABLE RECYCLE TECHNOLOGIES,DISPOSAL OF SOLID WASTE THROUGH VERMI CULTURE/ BIO LOGICAL METHODS,USE OF SOLAR AND WIND ENERGY

ADVANCED OXIDATION SYSTEMS FOR MORE EFFICIENT REMOVAL OF TOXIC AND RECALCITRANT COMPOUNDS,ADOPTING ZERO DISCHARGE SYSTEMS LIKE REVERSE OSMOSIS,MULTIPLE EFFECT EVAPORATION, INCINERATION ETC WOULD GO A LONG WAY IN ENSURING GOOD COMPLIANCE OF THE NORMS

MUCH GREATER EMPHASIS ON EMERGING CONCEPTS AND TECHNOLOGIES ENCOMPASSING, CLEANER PRODUCTION PRACTICES,CLEAN TECHNOLOGY INITIATIVES,GREEN SUPPLY CHAIN MECHANISM,BIO AUGMENTATION AND BIO REMEDIATION,ECO-FRIENDLY CAPTIVE POWER GENERATION,DISCONTINUATION OF TOXIC AND BANNED CHEMICALS,ENCOURAGEMENT OF ALL ECO-FRIENDLY PRACTICES WITHIN AND OUTSIDE THE MANUFACTURING PLANT

TRAINING OF TECHNICIANS AND MANAGEMENT TO BRING ABOUT A PARADIGM SHIFT IN THEIR PERSPECTIVE OF THEIR OWN OBLIGATIONS TO THE ENVIRONMENT AND SOCIETY.
