Different Process for Textile Effluent Treatment Plants
Waterman Engineers Australia
Using a Textile Effluent Treatment Plant (TETP) for treatment of wastewater from the textile industry is an option that can be explored, depending on the specific requirements of the facility. Using an Effluent Treatment Plant for Textile Industry, can also help to address any water quality issues that the facility may face. A TETP is a unique treatment system that combines physio-chemical treatment with chemical coagulation to remove contaminants and impurities from the wastewater.

What is is the Different Treatment Process in Textile Effluent Plant?
Various types of treatment processes are used for textile effluent treatment. These processes include physical and chemical methods, which are based on the use of coagulants, flocculants, and adsorbents. These processes are used to degrade both organic and inorganic pollutants.

Textile effluents are usually high in color, suspended solids, and biochemical oxygen demand (BOD). These effluents contain organic compounds, metals, salts, and ammonia-nitrogen.

In the past, many researchers have applied different processes to treat textile wastewater. One of the most effective processes for textile wastewater treatment is adsorption. This process uses adsorbent materials, which have a large surface area. The adsorbent attracts molecules and separates them from dissolved chemical compounds. Adsorption is a simple and effective process.
Another effective process is electro coagulation. This process removes colour effectively. However, it requires energy and produces sludge, which is hazardous. The efficiency of electro coagulation is dependent on the pH value and the electrical current used.
Using photochemical oxidation processes can help degrade the recalcitrant organic material in textile wastewater. This is a more cost-effective process. During this process, the recalcitrant compound is oxidized by the production of highly reactive radicals.
Another process, ultrasonic catalysis, uses ultrasonic energy to enhance the interaction between radical and dye molecules. This process can be combined with photolytic energy or acoustic energy. This process produces highly reactive radicals and can be used for increasing the efficiency of textile effluent treatment.
Another process, ozonation, could be used for the degradation of recalcitrant compounds. This process also uses UV radiation.
