Textile processing is highly water intensive industry and generating enormous quantum of wastewater from various operations like mercerizing, bleaching, dyeing, printing, washing, etc. Majority of these process houses are operated based on conventional practices resulting in generating higher quantum of wastewater having a relatively higher organic load. If hydraulic and organic loads of wastewater discharge could be reduced, associated environmental impacts on Common Effluent Treatment Plant (CETP) and the river would be reduced which in turn leads to sustainable development. In order to select the audit focus area a walk through survey was conducted to know about the process and to identify major waste streams. The aim of this study was to narrate various steps of manufacturing in the dyeing industry. We have also identified the waste streams of the dye manufacturing process.
