Project Report: Efficient Dyeing Process Design for a Textile Factory

This project report details the design of an efficient and cost-effective dyeing process for a textile factory, emphasizing optimization and intensification. The student's work, conducted at Saint Louis University in the Philippines, focuses on designing a process that incorporates heat recovery from wastewater, treatment of flue gas, and efficient use of resources. The project includes a comprehensive literature review, equipment design (Sand Pressure filter, Treated water tank, Ion exchange resin, Soft water tank, De-aerator, HFO tank, Jet, Dyeing Machine, Hydro-extractor, Squeezer rollers, Stenter Machine, Hot oil Heater, The Waste water to waste water heat exchanger, The hydro extractor for yarn, RF dryer, Wet scrubber, Bag house, Settling Tank, Aeration tank, Sedimentation tank) and cost analysis, with the aim of improving the textile industry's sustainability and reducing environmental impact. The report also covers various aspects of the dyeing process, including preparation, dyeing, printing, and finishing, and highlights the importance of efficient design in the context of the Philippines' textile industry. The project's primary goal was to create a dyeing process that is both efficient and safe.
