BATCHING:
Batching instruments:-weight m/c.-Turner m/c.-Sewing m/c.-Trolley.
Must be checked in a batching card:-Order no.-Buyer’s name.-M/c no. for each batch.-Lot no.
36
-Turning requirements.-Length of fabric in each tube should be same.
Process description :Batch preparation is the process where visually inspected grey fabric are divided intodifferent batches with reasonable quantity in order to make them suitable for dyeingoperation. For fabric dyeing batching is very important. Fabric is weighted according tom/c capacity. So that equal amount of fabric is passed through each nozzle of the m/c.for batching it is important-
To make a batch (body, cuff, collar, rib) from the same raw material. Accurately weighted for correct recipe formulation to avoid dye & chemical
wastage.
SCOURING & BLEACHING:
-Scouring-bleaching is carried out in the same bath and at the same time simultaneously.-Bleaching is not carried out for black shade.-Scouring is carried out for every type of shade.
Scouring-Bleaching chemicals:
Procedure of Scouring-Bleaching process:
1. Firstly the fabric is load on to the bath.2. Required amount of water is taken to the bath.3. Wetting agent i.e.NOF, & anticreasing agent i.e.ECS is added.4. Steam pipes are on & scouring agents (i.e., caustic soda/soda ash) added by the
aid of dosing when the temperature reaches at 60C.5. When the temperature reaches at 60C, then stabilizer is added.6. Then H202 is added by the aid of dosing system in 10 mins in 70ºCand the material is
run for 10-15 mins to reach the temp. 100C.7. Temperature is then raised to 100C & the process is then carried out for 60 mins

Finished product quality control:
After the dyeing and finishing process, when the fabric moves away from the compctingmachine the finished quality of the fabric is assessed according to the buyer requirement.From here if the QC department of dyeing section okays the quality of the fabric then it isdelivered to the garments for further process. Here the faults upto the acceptance level ismeasured by means of four point system. A reference sheet that calculates the faults andpoints is attached.
60
Off line quality control :
After dyeing the material is received by the finishing section. Before receiving the followingthings are checked:
1. Shade condition.2. Wash fastness.3. Condition of softening.4. Condition of enzyme wash.
Before delivery the finished fabric to the customer it should be pass against therequirements.The following tests are done-
GSM check.Shrinkage test. Shade check.Rubbing test.Wash fastness test.Color fastness to perspiration.
GSM check:
GSM of the finished fabric essentially should be check according to the buyer’srequirement.Checking time: at finished state.Equipment used: GSM cutter.Sample area:100 sq.cm.Manufacturer : Local brand.
Shrinkage test:
Testing time: After dryer or before compacting.Equipment used: Shrinkage board ,shrinkage scale, measurement tape, scissor, washingmachine, detergent.Lengthwise shrinkage = (-ve) %.Lengthwise extension = (+ve) %.Test method : ISO 6330:2000.Shrinkage tolerance: ±5%.The fabric is cut according to the shrinkage board. Then the fabric is washed by washingm/c with PCLF for 60 min. at 40. Then the shrinkage% is determined by the shrinkage scale.
Shade check :
Testing time: During in the process & after finishing.Equipment used: Verivide light box.Country of origin: U.K.Light sources: D-65,TL-83,TL-84,F,UV.
61
Rubbing fastness test:
Equipment used: Crockometer.Test method: BS EN ISO 105x12. Dry rub & wet rub is including in this method.Testing time: Finished fabric.
Wash Fastness test :
Equipment used: Wascator washing m/c.Chemicals used: 4 g/l detergeTime:40 minTemp:60Cthen the shade change is measured by color change scale & staining scaleTest Method: ISO 105 C06.

Technical details :
Water:
Water is supplied by pump. Pump supplies water on the basis of pressure. Pump pressureranges from 0-10 bar. Water is stored in the water treatment plant. The water is collectedfrom the 120 ft. below to the earth. In this region, the water is not so hard enough that can
67
cause create problems in dyeing & other sections. But we have water softening plant. Thiswater is treated with resins mainly.
Air:
The natural air is sucked by compressor& it can suck air 5.38 m3/min. Here we have two aircompressor. The air is reserved by the air-reservoir. Here the compacted by this air reserver.Then it passes to the air dryer. We know air has H20, S & other microscopic materials. Airdryer removes the above materials & it cools the air & then it is supply to factory.
To m/c’s
Steam:
Steam is an important utility for the dyeing section. Steam produced by the boiler. So it isnecessary to set up a boiler section in the factory. Boiler creates pressure & for this reason itis called steam pressure (7.5 Kg or 110 PSI).Supply water is simply treated in the boiler section by the two softener tank. Then waterreserves to the feed water tank & this feed water tank warms the water. Then water passesto the boiler whose capacity 10 tons/hr. Boiler produces steam & that steam supplies to thefactory.

EFFLUENT TREATMENT PLANT
In Reedisha Knitex Limited . The following type of ETP plant is in action, that is describedbelow. A typical layout of the plant is attached with this report.
Different parts of the Effluent treatment plant and their functions:
1. Equalisation tank: In this tank the waste water is carried in and stored. Then bymeans of blower air is blown through it to reduce the oxidation temperature.
2. Flash mixing tank: Here two chemicals are mixed with the waste water. a)Lime andb) Ferrous sulphate. Lime cleans the water and destroy the germs. Ferrous sulphateaids lime to change the color of water.
3. Flocculation tank: In this tank poly electrolyte is used to make the sludges bigger insize and also separate them from water.
4. Tube settler tank-1: The main function of this tank is to settle down the sludge.5. P H correction channel: In this channel HCl is used to maintain the P H range of 7-8.6. Biological reaction tank 1&2: Made the bacterias work on wastes to make it into
the sludges.
Operational processes:
Primary treatment:
Coagulation and flocculation (To remove color and effluent suspended)
The homogeneous effluent will then be pumped to a flash mixing tank followed by aflocculation tank. In the flash mixing tank coagulants like lime(Ca(OH) 2 ) and flocculant
like ferrous sulphate (Fe(SO) 4 ) are dosed. The basic idea of adding coagulant is to bringtogether all the suspended and dyed particles so that they can be precipitated out in theflash mixing tank and flocculation tank by coagulation and flocculation mechanism. Thechemical reaction that occurs in the coagulation and flocculation process is shown below:
CaO+H 2 O=Ca(OH) 2
70
The above reaction takes place in lime dosing tank when lime reacts with water and weget Ca(OH)2 solution. This solution reacts with ferrous sulphate solution, which as follows:
Ca(OH) 2 +Fe(SO) 4 =Ca(SO) 4 +Fe(OH) 3 +Fe(SO) 4 (Unreacted)+Fe(OH) 2
Precipitation and sedimentation in tube settler-1 :
The effluent will further flow by overflow system to P H correction tank.
P H correction(To adjust the inlet P H ):
The effluent from tube settler -1 tank is then taken by overflow method to P H correctionchannel for neutralization. Where 33% HCl Acid is dosed for neutralizing the P H valuearound 7-8.
Secondary treatment:
Biological treatment in the fludized aerobic bio reactor (Also called MBBR)-1&2(To reduce the remaining BOD & COD aerobically)
The neutralized effluent is then taken by gravity into the biological treatment tank forbiological degradation of available organic matter to reduce the remaining BOD & CODaerobically. The biological treatment tanks are designed on extended aeration principle.The fluidized aerobic bio reactor 1&2 includes two tanks of any shape filled up with smallcarrier elements. In course of treatment a bio film develops on the elements, which movealong with the effluent in the reactors. The thin bio film on the elements enables thebacteria to act upon the bio degradable matter in the effluent and reduce the BODcontent while the rapid and turbulent movement of the effluent in the presence of oxygenavailable from the air, certain amount of COD is also removed. The chemical reactionsthat took place in the FAB reactor can be defined according to the following threeprocesses:
A. Oxidation process
COHNS+O 2 + Bacteria+ DAP &Urea=CO 2 +NH 3 +Energy +Other end products
DAP & Urea is used as food for the micro organism.
B. Synthesis process
COHNS+O 2 +Bacteria=C 5 H 7 NO 2 + New cells
C. Endogenous respiration
C 5 H 7 NO 2 +5O 2 =CO 2 +NH 3 +2H 2 O
Tube settler-2(To remove the biological solids generation):
From the biological reactor the treated effluent flows by gravity to the tube settler-2. Thebiological solids generated are removed from the tube settler -2 by the help of tube settlermedia.
71
Filter feed pump(To collect effluent for next processes):
The treated effluents from the tube settler 2 overflow into the filter feed pump. From thefilter feed pump the effluent is pumped to the pressure sand filter at first and then throughactivated carbon filter. From here the disinfected effluent is pumped by means of pressuresand filter feed pump to the pressure sand filter. The pump is normally operated inautomatically with interlock to the level switch in the filter pump.
Pressure sand filter(To remove suspended matter):
From the filter feed pump the effluent is pumped to the pressure sand filter. The filtrationtakes place in the downward mode . The filer is filled with a layer of graded sand mediasupported by a layer of graded gravel. The suspended matters in the effluent are filteredout in this unit. The iffluent is then flown into the activated carbon filter.
Activated carbon filter(To absorb the dissolved organic matter):
The treated and filter effluent from the pressure sand filter flows into the activated carbonfilter. In this unit too the feed flow is downward through a layer of granular activatedcarbon filter in which dissolved organics of the effluents are absorbed. It is necessary tobackwash the carbon filter every 8 hours.
Treated effluent disposed off(Ready for disposed off):
The treated effluent emerging from the ACF is directly disposed off through the outletchannel to environment.
Sludge treatment and handling:
The sludge generated in the flash mixing tank, flocculation tank, tube settler-1&2 andbiological reactor is taken to a sludge pump. Here also aeration is carried out. The waste isthen pumped to a sludge thickener tank where the sludge is concentrated at the bottomof the tank. The thickened sludge from the thickener is pumped to centrifugal pump fordewatering. At first the centrifuge is started and then the thickener feed pump is started.At the slurry of sludge flows polyelectrolyte solution is dosed in the centrifuge as a result thesludge will be separated from the water. The centrifuge is run for 20-30 mins and thenswitched off.The dewatered sludge is transformed into cake form. The dried cake may be disposed ofto deliver in the brick field for burning. The overflow from the sludge thickener wii be flowback to equalization tank for further treatment. In some cases due to the nature of wastewater characteristics it is not possible to dewater the sludge into a cake form, in that casethe sludge is collected in the form of slurry in a bucket .
Capacity of the ETP:
The treatment plants capacity is 40 m 3 /hr.

Remarks:
For smooth running of factory main utilities like gas or electricity is very essential. Thefacilities of effluent treatment are also very important as concerned to environment. So thepart of this chapter are very important to maintain for the mill.
