A washing, dyeing, and finishing (WDF) factory can recover exhaust heat from gas engines by utilizing the energy to generate steam for process heating. Readymade garment (RMC) factories, where there is...
Processing operations in the textile industry consume a lot of water. While the mechanical aspects involving spinning and weaving need little water, the wet processing operations use water extensively...
This series showcases success stories of partnership for cleaner textile (PaCT) partner factories in the Bangladesh textile sector that have implemented cleaner production projects.
This series provides examples of partnership for cleaner textile (PaCT’s) advisory work with clients to implement cleaner production solutions in the Bangladesh textile wet processing sector.
The textile processing industry, especially washing, dyeing and finishing (WDF) factories, involves major water consumption. This can be significantly reduced by optimizing processes in WDF factories...
If water in a boiler contains high concentrations of dissolved solids, it carries over through the steam produced, which can lead to foaming. This leads to a phenomenon called water hammer, which damages...
Most thermal energy wastage stems from lack of awareness amongst workers and managers, and inadequate upkeep of plants, machinery and auxiliary systems. Lack of monitoring interferes with the estimation...
A condensate recovery system (CRS) can either be vented-into-atmosphere or it can be pressurized. If the condensate is recovered in an open-to-atmosphere tank it is vented, otherwise it goes to a pressurized...
The textile sector is a highly energy-demanding industry, particularly the dyeing and finishing processes that continuously require large quantities Of energy to generate hot water and steam, However...
Textile and readymade garment (RMG) factories are some of the most polluting industries. Resource consumption and waste generation in the textile and RMG industries are significantly high. It is estimated...
This series showcases success stories of partnership for cleaner textile (PaCT) partner factories in the Bangladesh textile sector, which have implemented cleaner production projects.
Zaber and Zubair (Z&Z) Fabrics Limited of Noman Group, is a continuous/cold pad batch dye house, comprising of five individual dye houses. For over two decades, the factory has been producing dyed, printed...
Textile processing is notorious for its energy and water intensity, consumption of a large variety of toxic chemicals, and for its high pollution load, This consequently raises the cost of resources and...
This series showcases success stories of partnership for cleaner textile (PaCT) partner factories in the Bangladesh textile sector, which have implemented cleaner production projects.
Boilers often operate at higher than optimum air levels, mal
Mercerizing is an alkaline treatment with caustic soda (NaOH) under tensile strength which can improve the luster and strength of a fabric, giving it a permanent shine. Mercerizing uses a lot of caustic...
Many textile factories realize the embedded costs of water, energy and other resources in the production process. For instance, water is free, but pumping, treating, heating, cooling and/or discharging...
