Textiles

The Textile industry uses a wide range of raw materials, machinery and processes to manufacture the desired final product. Waste stream generated in this industry is essentially based on water-based effluent generated in the various activities of wet processing of textiles. The main cause of generation of this effluent is the use of huge volume of water, either in the actual chemical processing or during re-processing in preparatory, dyeing, printing and finishing processes.

Biological treatment systems are been used widely, but, they are not very efficient for the color and COD removal of highly resistant dyes. Thus, efficient removal of color and COD is a pressing need for the textile industry. Where ever chemicals are used, minimizing the generation and consequent disposal of the chemical sludge remains a challenge too.

Richcore’s novel enzyme technology, RichEcosol, is being effectively used for removing color, COD/BOD in textile wastewater without any additional capital expenditure. It facilitates a substantial decrease in sludge generation, increase in efficiency of RO and filtration systems through a significant decrease in effluent load as well as consumption of chemicals
