Problems with textile processing wastewater treatment systems
- High volume of wastewater
- Scarce space available for in-plant treatment
- Complex nature of wastewater with dyes and auxiliaries
- Biological treatment unable to handle organic and hydraulic loads
- Larger treatment plant based on biological system are not viable – from engineering and economic point
- Manpower is not readily available to handle conventional plants
Xccelerated coagulation treatment of textile wastewater - Tomorrow’s technology today
Conventional process includes 4 to 5 treatment steps: Primary, Filtration, Secondary, Clarification, Tertiary. Generates sludge at multiple points and cannot be made automatic.
Electrochemical system for 100 KL/day textile house needs: 3 to 4 sq m of Area (excluding Filtration area), 8 to 10 HP of total power source. Treatment cost varies between 8 to 12 Rs./1000 liter. Capital cost in range of 10-12 Rs./Liter
