  • A Study on Characterization & Treatment of Laundry Effluent
    IJIRST –International Journal for Innovative Research in Science & Technology| Volume 4 | Issue 1 | June 2017 ISSN (online): 2349-6010 A Study on Characterization & Treatment of Laundry Effluent Prof Dr K N Sheth Mittal Patel Director Assistant Professor Geetanjali Institute of Technical Studies, Udaipur SVBIT, Gandhi Nagar (Gujarat) Mrunali D Desai Assistant Professor Department of Environmental Engineering ISTAR, Vallabh Vdyanagar (Gujarat) Abstract It is a substantial fact that specific disposal standard for laundry effluent have not been prescribed by Gujarat pollution Control Board (GPCB). Laundry waste uses soap, soda, detergents and other chemicals for removal of stains, oil, grease and dirt from the soil clothing. The laundry waste is originated in the residential zone on account of manual cleaning, cleaning by domestic washing machines as well as large amount of effluents are generated by commercial washing including dry-cleaning. An attempt has been made in the present investigation to generalize the characteristics of laundry effluent generated by various sources in Vadodara (Gujarat). It has been found during the laboratory studies, that SS, BOD and COD of laundry waste are high. Treatability studies were carried out in the environmental engineering laboratory of B.V.M. Engineering College, V.V.Nagar for removal of these contaminants. The coagulation-flocculation followed by dual media filtration was found to be most suitable sequence of the treatment. Keywords: Laundry effluent, soil clothing, coagulation-flocculation, dual media filtration _______________________________________________________________________________________________________ I. INTRODUCTION Laundry industry is a service industry, In other words, laundry industry is not a manufacturing industry. [1] The State Pollution Control Board has, therefore, not framed standards for specific contaminant levels for the disposal of Laundry waste.

The stu- dents were asked to indicate their management problems and practices of food, clothing, and money, their housing conditions, their problems in finding recreation and transportation, and their problems in their academic work and in practicing their religion. All students were enrolled in the University at the time of the interview. Of the group, 25 were males and 16 were females. Twenty -eight were working for their Master's degrees and 10 were working for a Doctor's degree; three students were taking graduate courses but not working for degrees. When the students were asked about their food managment problems and practices, 35 students indicated that they prepared their own meals, while three students ate with American families, two ate in boarding houses, and one in a cooperative. More than half of the 35 students who cooked their own meals planned them depending on what they had on hand in kitchen cabinets and in the refrigerator. Over one -half of these 35 students shopped for food once a week; however 19 made no shopping list of groceries to buy.

  • Hotel/Motel Laundry Planning File
    HOTEL/MOTEL LAUNDRY PLANNING FILE B22SL05006/20072 Laundry Systems for hotels and motels WHY INSTALL AN ON-PREMISES LAUNDRY? 1. Launder everything on premises. A Milnor on-premises laundry can handle all of a hotel/motel's clean fabric needs in a simple manner. Milnor washer-extractors can process bath and bed linens, blankets, pillows, restaurant and banquet napery, and kitchen linen, plus such items as employee uniforms, slip covers and cleaning rags and mops. Many types of rugs and drapes can also be processed in a Milnor on-premises laundry. 2. Distinctive linens build prestige. Many hotel and motel operators have enhanced their image of quality through tasteful fabric selection. Everything from linen to drapes can be selected in the colors and patterns of your choice. 3. Get more use from less inventory. An on-premises laundry provides more use from less inventory. Table napery, bath linen, and other goods can be laundered immediately after use and be ready again in about an hour if necessary. Smaller inventories mean less storage space and more money for investment elsewhere. 4. You won't be caught short. On-premises laundering eliminates "caught short" situations. It gives you a ready supply of towels, sheets, napkins, tablecloths, and uniforms. This is especially important during weekends and holidays, when outside services are not available. 5. Control quality, sanitation. On-premises laundering assures quality processing because you are in control. You can prolong fabric life by using a distinct formula for the specific degree of soil. Milnor's E-P Plus® washer-extractors make this easy, with several specific formulas developed and field-tested by chemists for hotels and motels.

  • Dhobis & Dhabas in Delhi
    License & Livelihood Dhobis & Dhabas in Delhi Kunal Datt The licensing system of the Delhi government with regard to dhobis1 and dhabas2 seems to have been made considering the “under the table” income of the government officers. It has not only corrupted the legal framework of our society but has also given birth to innumerable problems for these small traders of goods and services who are only trying to earn a decent living for themselves. Dhabas In a country where 90% of the population is self-employed, the only way to develop the economy is the liberalisation of these trades. Dhaba owners may have to wait in line up to 20 years just to get the license and commence business. If the licensing system were only abolished, then it would be much simpler and economical for the business, government and also the consumer. Dhaba owners pay up to Rs 2,000 as protection money to the Delhi Police per month, a similar amount to the Prevention of Food Adulteration (Health) Department of the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD), and a lot more if we include the articles of trade “pilfered” by police and health inspectors. These costs are directly transferred to the consumers who not only have to pay the salaries of the government employees through taxes, but also have to pay for their bribes by paying more for the same food, as the dhaba owner has to make up for his loss by charging more. According to the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD), a dhaba is a premise where the public is admitted for purpose of consumption of any food or drink or any place where food is sold or prepared for sale.
