Assessment of Textile Effluent Quality: A Laboratory Analysis of ETP Effectiveness in Meeting ECR Standards
How to cite (IJASEIT) :
The textile sector contributes significantly to industrial pollution, especially by the release of effluents comprising dyes, chemicals, and other contaminants (Islam & Mostafa, 2019). Proper treatment of these effluents is critical for reducing their environmental impact. The purpose of this study is to analyze the effluent quality of FOURH Textile, a renowned textile manufacturing company, by examining samples collected before and after treatment at their Effluent Treatment Plant (ETP). The evaluation aims to determine if the treated effluent meets the Environmental Conservation Rules (ECR) requirements established by the regulatory authorities.
Effluent samples were obtained from FOURH Textile's plant, focusing on the untreated (influent) and treated (effluent) streams. These samples were subjected to a battery of laboratory tests to determine pH, biochemical oxygen demand (BOD), chemical oxygen demand (COD), total suspended solids (TSS), and heavy metal levels(Nergis et al., 2009). This study compares the findings of untreated and treated effluents to assess the effectiveness of the ETP in lowering pollutant levels to acceptable limits as per ECR standards. The conclusions of this investigation will shed light on the ETP's performance at FOURH Textile, as well as its compliance with environmental requirements.
