Zero Discharge ETP

Zero means reusing 100% of water discharged from different processes which is still a dream. 70-80% can be reused through Reverse osmosis system. But we are working with Atomic Energy Commission to find a way for zero discharge.

 

 

Solar Energy

Echotex has been chosen by H&M to pilot a solar energy programme, the first of its kind in Bangladesh. Plans are underway to install photovoltaic panels on top of the factory’s buildings next year. Generating most of the factories energy needs from solar power will reduce dependency on natural gas that is in short supply across the country.

 
 

Sludge to Fertiliser

Sludge is a solid secondary waste produced after treating dyehouse wastewater using a common ETP. This residue contains toxin organic compounds and heavy metals that can contaminate agricultural land and surface water. Echotex teamed up with the Bangladesh Atomic Energy Commission to devise a way of making this sludge safe to dispose of. Ionizing radiation is being used to break down and decontaminate the sludge converting it into an excellent organic fertiliser.

Air Conditioning from Waste Heat

Installation of Hot Water Absorption Chiller having capacity 250 RT by using Gas Generators jacket water heat. It is expecting that this energy saving chiller would be start running from early 2017.
