Sir, the industry was granted consent to operate under the Water Act, 1974 valid upto 21/09/2024 and under Air Act, 1981 valid upto 30/06/2026 for the manufacturing of Dyeing Washing & Finishing of Cloth @ 24 TPD for discharge of trade Effluent @ 1195 KLD and Domestic Effluent @ 5 KLD into CETP pipeline with shares of 1200 KLD.
Now, the industry has applied for obtaining ‘consent to establish'/ (NOC expansion) under the Water Act, 1974 and Air Act, 1981 with requisite documents for modernized its existing dyeing unit by increase in production capacity such as printing alongwith addition in building by replacing its existing 4 TPH boiler & 1.5 TPH Thermopack with 8 TPH Boiler & 40 Lac Kcal Thermopack.
The industry was visited by RO on 07.03.2024 and it was observed as under:
1. The industry was in operation during visit.
2. The industry has installed 20 soft flow machines (2 no. 1000 kg, 2 no. 750 kg, 4 no. 500 kg, 4 no. 400 kg, 1 no. 300 kg, 3 no. 200 kg, 1 no. 100 kg, 2 no. 50 kg and 1 no. 25 kg).
3. The industry has connected its effluent discharge to CETP, Focal Point, Ludhiana line and reading of the totalizer was 81389.61 m3. The industry was found discharging its trade effluent into CETP, Focal Point Line during visit.
4. The industry has submitted copy of request letter to Municipal Corporation, Ludhiana for disconnection of its sewer connection.
5. The industry has also installed the flow meter at the outlet to CETP line.
6. The industry has already applied for obtaining PWRDA permission for ground water extraction.
7. The industry has shares for effluent discharge 1200 KLD.
8. Now, the industry has proposed to modernized its existing dyeing unit by increase in production capacity such as printing alongwith addition in building.
9. It has also proposed to replace the existing 4 TPH boiler & 1.5 TPH Thermopack with 8 TPH Boiler & 40 Lac Kcal Thermopack, which will be equipped with separate cyclone separators followed by alkali scrubbers as APCD.
10. Currently, the unit is operating in existing premises having area 4270 sq.yds. and now it has proposed additional area of 9896 sq.yds. Total area of the unit after expansion will be 14166 sq.yds.
11. The industry has proposed that it will shift all the existing machinery into new proposed building and only knitting will be carried out in the existing premises.
12. The industry has proposed that there will be no increase in the effluent by addition in the printing process. It has proposed to add 1 no. printing machine, 1no. mercerizer machine, 1no. loop ager machine, 1no. continuous tumbler, 1 no. deoiling, 3 no. raising machines, 3 no. stenter (10 chamber).
13. It has proposed to discharge trade effluent @ 1195 KLD and domestic effluent @ 5 KLD into dedicated conveyance system leading to CETP (40 MLD).
14. The industry is discharging average effluent @ 625 KLD (Average from Feb, 2022 to Jan, 2024). However, it has shares @ 1200 KLD for discharging its effluent into CETP line.
15. Further, the industry has proposed to add DG set of capacity 750 KVA, which will be equipped with canopy and adequate stack height.
RO reported that the calculation of water consumption is 987 KLD out of which trade effluent generation from dyeing activity will be 888.3 KLD, from re-dyeing @ 88.8 KLD, from Stenter @ 28 KLD, from Slitting Machine @ 10.5 KLD and from Printing Machine @ 100 KLD. Total expected effleunt will be 1200 KLD for cotton (PC) dyeing. The industry has shares for effluent discharge 1200 KLD. However, RO verified during visit that the industry is discharging average effluent @ 625 KLD (Average from Feb, 2022 to Jan, 2024).
The industry has existing plot area 4270 sq.yds and it has proposed additional adjoining plot having area 9896 sq.yds. There are no specific sitting guidelines for such type of industries. However, the existing as well as proposed area is located in Industrial zone as per Master Plan (2010-2031) of Ludhiana being in Focal Point.
The ground water extraction will be 37500 KL/month, which is more than exempted quantity. The industry has already applied for obtaining permission for Ground water extraction from PWRDA.
RO recommended that ‘consent to establish'/ (NOC Expansion) under the Water (Prevention & Control of Pollution) Act, 1974 and Air (Prevention & Control of Pollution) Act, 1981 for proposed Printing of Cloth @ 3 TPD Mercerizing of Cloth @ 2 TPD alongwith existing Dyeing Washing & Finishing of Cloth @ 24 TPD may be granted for one year with suitable conditions of the Board.
If approved, 'Consent to Establish' (NOC for expansion) under the Water (Prevention & Control of Pollution) Act, 1974 and Air (Prevention & Control of Pollution) Act, 1981 may be granted to the industry as proposed by RO, please.
