PERFORMANCE EVALUATION OF COMMON EFFLUENT TREATMENT PLANT - TEXTILE INDUSTRIES

The study focuses on performance evaluation of a common effluent treatment plant ( C.E.T.P) receiving the waste water from Textile Industries.Small-scale industries (SSIs) have a very important role in overall industrial development in India. Quantity of waste generated by individual SSIs may not be large, but combined effect of operation of a large number of SSIs units on the environment can be high. Textile industries are small scale industries generating waste water in large quantity. Thus CETP is required for better treatment of generated waste water from textile industry. Thus a common effluent treatment plant offers an alternative to the practice of better utilization of resources of an industrial area. The monitoring and performance evaluation studies were carried out for an effluent treatment plant of a common effluent treatment plant at Surat.
