Regulatory Challenges & Industry Shutdown Risk
Court-mandated shutdowns threatened 61 small dyeing units in Kanchipuram due to non-compliance with pollution control board standards. Stratus was engaged by Indian Institute of Madras to assess pre-treatment facilities and propose corrective actions.
System Evaluation & Compliance Testing
Each facility was analysed for its effectiveness in suspended solids removal, dissolved solids reduction, and colour removal. Treatment processes were reviewed for:
- Chemical dosing optimisation
- pH balancing and coagulation efficiency
Conclusion
Stratus prepared a technical report recommending cost-effective pre-treatment upgrades to help dyeing units comply with PCB regulations, ensuring industry continuity.
