AIR POLLUTION REDUCTION POTENTIAL OF KNITWEAR INDUSTRY IN TIRUPUR

Abstract

In a knitwear industry, wet processing consumes significant amount of thermal energy, which is generated by burning fuels in boilers or in thermic fluid heaters and there is a significant amount of CO2 which causes atmospheric pollution. In addition to CO2, SO2, CO and oxides of NO2 contribute to the air pollution to a limited extent. In Tirupur, there are about 800 processing units, which consume both thermal energy and electrical power. Thermal energy is generated in the form of steam in boilers, which burn solid fuels for getting the required heat. The total estimates of CO2 pollution is about 0.8 million tonnes. This paper focuses on reducing the CO2 emission in the knitwear industry of Tirupur. For this purpose, sample energy audit study was conducted in selected units and results of the audit study in analyzed in this paper and evaluated for reduction in pollution level.
