ETP
In adherence to our commitment to environmental safety, Hunaram’s production unit is equipped with a fully functional Effluent Treatment Plant (ETP) to ensure zero liquid discharge.
Water is a crucial resource in the textile manufacturing process and a huge volume of wastewater with harmful chemicals/contaminants is released into the environment, polluting water quality. Hunaram limits the release of hazardous waste with fully functional Effluent Treatment Plants ensuring environmental safety.
Wastewater from the textile manufacturing process contains high levels of TSS, dyes, chemicals & auxiliaries, metal toxicants and BOD.
Our ETPs efficiently remove these toxic pollutants in compliance with environmental regulations, improving the quality of water as per accepted norms before being discharged into the environment, minimising environmental threats.
