The industry was earlier granted consent to operate under the Water (Prevention & Control of Pollution) Act, 1974 vide no. CTOW/Varied/LDH4/2023/23320560 dated 15/09/2023, upto 30/06/2026 for production of dyeing of yarn acrylic @ 2550 Kgs/day, dyeing and finishing of polyester fabric @ 11.5 T/day or dyeing and finishing of Cotton/Polyester-Cotton (PC) @ 4.6 T/day and for discharge trade effluent @ 598.2 KLD and domestic effluent @ 1.8 KLD into CETP of 40 MLD (Focal Point Module) with certain conditions.
Consent to operate under the Air (Prevention & Control of Pollution) Act, 1981 was granted vide no. CTOA/Varied/LDH4/2022/18615919 dated 09/05/2022, upto 30/06/2026 for rice husk as fuel in its one boiler of capacity 05 TPH with multi-cyclone as APCD and one D.G. set of capacity 330 KVA equipped with canopy.
Now, the industry has applied for Consent to Establish (NOC for expansion) under the provisions of Water (Prevention & Control of Pollution) Act 1974 and Air (Prevention & Control of Pollution) Act 1981 through OCMMS on 10.07.2024 for production of dyeing of yarn acrylic @ 2550 Kgs/day to 1200 Kgs/day, dyeing and finishing of polyester fabric @ 11.5 T/day to 16.5 T/day or dyeing and finishing of Cotton/Polyester-Cotton (PC) @ 4.6 T/day to 6.6 T/day and for discharge trade effluent @ 598.2 KLD and domestic effluent @ 1.8 KLD into CETP of 40 MLD (Focal Point Module).
The industry has proposed to install 03 soft flow machines of capacities (01x500 Kg, 01x400 Kg & 01x100 Kg) for dyeing of fabrics. It has also proposed to remove 07 cabinets machines (05x30 Kg & 02x60 Kg) and cabinet machines remaining after expansion will be (04x30 Kg & 02x60 Kg) for dyeing of yarn.
As per the project report, the total investment on the project shall be Rs. 307.58 Lacs and cost of plant and machinery of Rs. 171.21 Lacs and it has also deposited NOC fee Rs. 3,600/- vide UTR No. 878837810 dated 10.07.2024, which is adequate for one year.
The site of the industry visited by the AEE on 17.07.2024 and it was observed that :-
1. The industry was in operation during the visit.
2. The industry has existing 08 soft flow machines of capacities (1x500 Kg, 1x400 Kg, 5x250 Kg, 1x150) and 13 cabinet machines of capacities (04x60 Kg & 09x30 Kg) for dyeing purposes installed at its premises.
3. The industry has proposed to install additional 03 soft flow machines of capacities (01x500 Kg, 01x400 Kg & 01x100 Kg) having liquor ratio 1:6 with 04 baths each and 05 lots for dyeing of fabrics. It has also proposed to remove 07 cabinet machines (05x30 Kg & 02x60 Kg).
4. After expansion, the industry will be having 11 soft flow machines of capacities (02x500 Kg, 02x400 Kg, 05x250 Kg, 01x150 Kg & 01x100 Kg) of liquor ratio 1:6 with 04 baths each & 05 lots. It will be having 06 cabinet machines (04x30 Kg & 02x60 Kg) of liquor ratio 1:6 with 04 baths each & 05 lots.
5. As per its proposal, the industry will be generating 492 KLD of trade effluent and 02 KLD of domestic effluent purpose.
6. The industry has obtained shares of 600 KLD and has now installed flow meter/SCADA system for leading the effluent to CETP.
7. The industry is discharging its treated trade effluent into CETP 40 MLD.
8. The industry has installed a digital flow meter at the final outlet leading to CETP.
9. The industry has installed SCADA system for connectivity with CETP server.
10. The industry has installed one boiler of capacity 05 TPH with multi-cyclone as APCD along with stack of adequate height. Rice husk is being used as fuel in its.
11. The industry has installed one DG sets of capacity 330 KVA, which are equipped with canopy and adequate stack height.
12. As per the SCADA system of CETP 40 MLD, the details of fresh water consumption and effluent discharge during last 06 months is attached as pdf file.
13. The discharge is found within the allotted share capacity of 600 KLD.
14. The industry has made arrangement for recovery & reuse of cooling water and steam condensate. The cooling water is reused in the process and steam condensate is being reused as boiler feed water.
15. The industry is required to maintain quality of untreated effluent at its outlet in such manner that it shall not affect the working of CETP 40 MLD.
16. There will be no generation of additional trade effluent after proposed expansion beyond it shareholding capacity.
17. It is relevant to mentioned here that earlier the trade effluent sample of its untreated effluent was collected and monitored by the Board on 05.10.2023 and as per analysis report TDS was 1584 mg/l.
18. The site of the industry falls in Focal Point, Ludhiana and the expansion proposed by the industry can be regularized.
19. The industry has submitted undertaking informing that they will use best practices for dyeing and will use salt free chemicals in order to control their TDS and other parameters at their outlet. Further, it submitted that if they are not able to achieve the standards of trade effluent as per the inlet parameter of the CETP, they will install the pre-treatment facility as per the guidelines and directions by the Board.
20. If the industry keeps its trade effluent generation within the allotted share capacity and keeps check on its TDS levels (within the desirable levels of under 2100) through use salt free chemicals as mentioned above, then the request submitted by the industry may be considered.
Keeping in above view, the Consent to Establish (NOC for Expansion) may be considered for a grant to industry for one year with suitable conditions as per the Board’s policy and subjected to the following special conditions:-
1. If the industry fails to achieve the desired standards at its outlet before the CETP, then it shall install adequate pre-treatment arrangements to bring its standards with the prescribed limits or limits as may be decided by the Board.
2. The industry shall continue to comply with all the Board directions already issued to it under the relevant act.
3. The industry shall not generate/discharge trade & domestic effluent more than its allotted shares capacity.
4. The industry shall discharge the whole of its consented effluent into a dedicated sewer line leading to CETP for final treatment.
5. The industry shall not make any new connection/undisclosed connection for the discharge of effluent either into the public sewer or PDA conveyor system.
6. The industry should either take measures to control its inlet parameters by good practices and selection of good chemicals for processing or shall operate and maintain its existing effluent treatment plant (ETP), regularly and efficiently, so as to achieve the inlet effluent standards of CETP as per DPR.
7. The industry shall make the necessary arrangements to achieve the effluent standards as per the inlet-designed parameters of the CETP.
8. There shall be no any other physical expansion of the unit either with the installation of new machinery without valid permissions of the Board.
9. The industry shall stop discharging its effluent in case due to any reason the CETP is not operational or the dedicated conveyance system is overflowing.
10. The industry shall maintain the record of flow meter installed at source and at the outlet leading to CETP.
11. The industry shall carry out third-party audit from any reputed institute to access the actual discharge capacity of the dyeing unit in compliance with the proceedings issued by the Board vide letter no. 4387 dated 09.08.2023 to the CETP 40 MLD.
12. The industry shall obtain necessary permissions for the abstraction of ground water from PWRDA/CGWA.
The competency to decide the application lies with Senior Environmental Engineer, Zonal Office-II, Ludhiana.
