Jetpur Dyeing and Printing Association has set up a CETP (Common Effluent Treatment Plant) in order to meet the requirement of nearby areas’ small industries. Additionally, the Textile printing units located in the Jetpur area engage in washing activities of printed sarees, dress materials, and other cotton fabrics through a washing ghat located in the surrounding area. All the washing ghats are scattered and creating Environmental Issues. The CETP accounts for 30 MLD of polluted water.

The Challenge
One of the key issues for the coloured effluent discharge before treatment is decolourization. The CETP design is meant to decolourize the treated effluent. This is done by dosing chlorine gas into the outlet. Currently, the operators had no control of the dosing and this process was done without any data supervision. Therefore, it often resulted in overdosage leading to chlorine gas exposure in the surrounding. This not only affected the treatment process but also created an unhealthy environment for the CETP operators due to the chlorine odour. The need for CETP chlorine gas monitoring was evident and a real-time solution was requested.
The Solution
Oizom with Nature’s Enviro Care offered AQBot Cl2 for installation at the CETP. The industrial grade single parameter monitor can detect real-time chlorine gas. AQBot also comes inbuilt with a notifying mechanism where it can warn the authorities of an increase in the Cl2 levels. Its robust built and compact design allows easy installation in the industries. Also, the display on the AQBot Cl2 helped the operators to check the data on the go when they are on the field. The plant managers could validate the efforts using the report module in the Envizom software.
The Result
Oizom’s industrial grade single parameter air quality monitor, AQBot helped notify the parameters levels of Cl2 to the authorities of the Jetpur CETP. The operators controlled the chlorine dosage and ensure optimized treatment. Additionally, the odour was reduced and operators could breathe in a safe atmosphere. With low maintenance and ease of use, AQBot turned out to be an ideal solution for CETP chlorine gas monitoring.
