Industry Background and Problems
The textile and apparel manufacturing industry is recognized as one of the largest consumers of water and a significant producer of wastewater globally. The production processes such as dyeing, printing, washing, and finishing generate wastewaters loaded with suspended solids, dyes, chemicals, salts, and organic contaminants. These pollutants are often complex and difficult to treat due to variability in composition and volume, threatening the environment through water pollution and high water consumption.

Regulatory bodies impose strict discharge norms requiring the removal of color, chemical oxygen demand (COD), biological oxygen demand (BOD), and suspended solids from effluents. Water scarcity and sustainability pressures have also necessitated the adoption of advanced, efficient treatment technologies focused on recycling and reuse of process water. This industry faces challenges in adapting to ever-changing wastewater characteristics, reducing footprint, and meeting compliance at optimized operational costs.
Our Approach to Solving the Problems
Sarvo offers comprehensive water and wastewater treatment solutions designed specifically for the textile and apparel sector. Our approach addresses the industry’s complex effluent characteristics through a combination of advanced physical, chemical, and biological treatment technologies. This includes screening, equalization, coagulation/flocculation, sedimentation, and advanced biological systems like Membrane Bioreactors (MBR) for organic load reduction.
To remove dyes and coloration, Sarvo integrates ultrafiltration (UF), reverse osmosis (RO), and chemical advanced oxidation processes where necessary. Zero Liquid Discharge (ZLD) is achieved using energy-efficient Mechanical Vapor Recompression (MVR) evaporation and drying technologies, reducing wastewater volumes to solid waste for safe disposal. Our solutions maximize water recovery and reuse in process cycles, minimizing freshwater consumption and discharge costs.
Real-time monitoring and automated control systems with AI analytics ensure optimal process performance, regulatory compliance, and energy efficiency. Modular designs allow for flexible, scalable installations catering to diverse facility sizes and operational requirements.

Customer Case Study: Mohini Health & Hygiene Ltd, Indore
Sarvo Technologies installed an advanced wastewater treatment system for Mohini Health & Hygiene Ltd in Indore, specializing in textile manufacturing. Addressing the high volume of wastewater containing suspended solids, chemical dyes, and organic contaminants from mercerization and finishing processes, Sarvo provided a tailored solution integrating Membrane Bioreactor (MBR), Ultrafiltration (UF), Reverse Osmosis (RO), and Mechanical Vapor Recompression (MVR) evaporation technologies.
This system enables effective removal of BOD, COD, color, and suspended solids, ensuring treated water meets stringent discharge norms while enabling maximum reuse in manufacturing processes. The MVR evaporator concentrates RO reject wastewater, with the condensate recovered for reuse and the concentrated sludge subjected to thermal drying for safe disposal. Around 90% water recovery results in considerable freshwater savings and reduced environmental impact.
Automated monitoring and control ensure consistent performance with minimal manpower, directly improving Mohini’s operational efficiency and compliance standards. This project exemplifies Sarvo’s expertise in delivering innovative, sustainable water management solutions tailored to textile industry challenges.
