Textile dyeing can involve the use of several chemicals. The process of 1 kg
fabric could require up to 4 kg of chemicals. Hence, waste water treatment
is an essential topic. Tirupur, located in southern India, struggled for a long
time with polluted water arising from the local dyeing mills. Today, all mills
must ensure zero discharge and the water is re-used in a closed system. The
picture was taken when New Wave Group visited the treatment plant
Arulpuram in 2013.
