Still there is a need to check the status of water being discharged by the factories and the air quality of surrounding areas after discharge to assess the environment pollution caused. The study of two ETP plants and detailed observation of effluent and treated water against various parameters was done and study of two dyeing plants for boiler and thermo pack and detailed observation of fuel efficiency and air emission as per pollution control board was undertaken. High level of pH and total suspended solids were found in discharge water. Condensate recovery system helped in saving 10% energy. SO2 in air stack was found to be 309 mg /cubic NM. Totally programmable auto dispensing systems and dyeing with high exhaustion, usage of multi-functional reactive dyes and re-circulation of energy is extremely important. Need is felt for up-gradation of the existing effluent treatment plants in industries based on monitoring in select units to meet the desired level of treatment based on compatibility with the design characteristics and performance adequacy of the operational STPs.

Introduction Sustainable development in accordance with the needs of the environment is the strategy our country has decided to adopt for economic growth.

Some amount of waste material is bound to be generated. It is the responsibility of the industry to ensure that this waste is reduced, recycled / treated and disposed properly, so that it does not cause environment pollution. Under the hazardous waste management act, certain guidelines are prescribed by the pollution control board for disposal of waste produced or used in various processes of knitwear dyeing. Still there is a need to check the status of water being discharged by the factories and the air quality of surrounding areas after discharge to assess the environment pollution caused. 2. Experimental Part To assess the actual status, a study of two ETP plants and detailed observation of effluent and treated water against various parameters was done and a study of two dyeing plants for boiler and thermo pack and detailed observation of fuel efficiency and air emission as per pollution control board was undertaken. 3. Results 3.1 Technological Demand of Modern Fabric Processing House in Ludhiana l Proper lay-out plan of the plant and machinery, keeping in mind the various pipe lines (water, Air, Steam, Electrical) planning, so that factory can be approved by foreign buying agencies as per their norms. l Using latest technologies in utilities i.e. Boilers, Water-Softening Plant, D.M/D.A. Plants, Effluent Treatment Plants, Electrical (D.G. Sets, Panels) and other norms set by Govt. of India). l Selection of Adequate technology ion the basis of its technological input, automation, operational economy and most important quality parameters. l Selection of proper man-power and payment of proper salaries to the right technical persons to achieve good results in dyeing. l Proper Research and Development (including Basic equipments which are required in dyeing house laboratory) for the development of raw finishes and cost reduction activities along with damage control. 3.2 Critical Problems faced by Dyeing Houses in Ludhiana l Shade variations in same batch. l Uneven Dyeing l Poor Reproducibility l Inappropriate appearance & feel of the fabric l Inability to dye larger batch. Status of Discharge Water, Ambient Air Quality and ........ Units 3 l No commitment of timely delivery. l Poor working conditions l Migration of skilled labor due to low wages. l Poor training facilities for manager and workers on latest technology. l Almost nil facilities of laboratory for R and D. l Inadequate control on dimensional stability of fabric 3.3 Observations The observation of effluent and treated water of two dyeing plants revealed
