61. Introduction
The textile industry retains a record of the lowest efficiency in energy utilization and is one of the major
energy consuming industries.
About 34% of energy is consumed in spinning, 23% in weaving, 38% in chemical processing and another
5% for miscellaneous purposes.
Power dominates consumption pattern in spinning/weaving, while thermal energy is major for chemical
processing.
It is known that thermal energy in textile mill is largely consumed in two operations, in heating of water and
drying of water.
Fuel consumption in textile mills is almost directly proportional to amount of water consumed.
Hence if consumption of water can be reduced, it will also save energy.
Conservation of energy can be affected through process and machine modification, proper chemical
recipes, and new technologies.
62. Focus Areas for Energy
Conservation
Thermal Energy:
As already indicated, wet processing of textiles consume a very high proportion of thermal
energy mainly for the evaporation of moisture from textiles. at various stages of wet processing
and also for heating of process chemicals. Table 1 indicated the department wise percent
steam consumption in a composite textile mill.
Steam is generated employing boilers by using either coal or furnace oil and lately low sulphur
heavy stock oil available from the refineries as fuel having average calorific values of 4200
6200, 10280 and10700 Kcal respectively.
63. Focus Areas for Energy Conservation
Electrical Energy:
The wet processing of textiles consumes only a small portion of electrical energy, say around 15% of total electrical
energy, mainly for running the various processing machinery's.
By and large, most of the textile mills draw their power requirements and from respective state electricity boards.
However, the supply is adversely affected sometime resulting in severe power cuts for the industry
, in order to supplement this; several mills have gone in for their own captive generation in spite of the higher cost.
Some mills have tried for steam turbines by taking the advantage of tail race low pressure steam,
however non-availability of low to medium turbines, and their maintenance as compared to diesel engines limits
their use.
64. Energy Conservation:
1. Electrical Energy
The major consumption of electrical energy in the textile industry is in the manufacture of yam and
cloth, amounting to nearly 3/4th or 4/5th of the total power requirement in a textile mill, where as
hardly 15 to 20% of electrical power is consumed for running various machines in textile wet
processing.
As far as the electrical power saving is concerned the following measures can be affected:
Reduce The Processing Steps By Combining Some Of The Constituent Wet Processing
Operations In A Given Processing Sequences. This May Help in Reducing Number of
Washings and Dryings e.g.
One bath bleaching may enable to save around 70% electrical inputs.
Reduced number of ends / turns jiggers may help in saving around 20% electrical input.
Elimination of curing in printing saves 100% electrical input for curing step.
Combined drying - cum - curing in resin finishing saves around 35% electrical input.
65. Energy Conservation:
1. Electrical Energy
Explore The Scope For An Increased Output Per Unit Duration Of Various Electrically Driven Machines.
Use of high efficiency motors in place of standard motors with proper application will save 2 to 4 %.
Replacement of under size and over size motors - saving depending upon the percentage of loading on the
motors.
Use of high temperature grease according to insulation class of motors.
No load power study of motor, replacement of motors consuming high no load power
Investigation of exact burning reason, rewinding as per original technical data.
Motors convert electrical energy into mechanical energy to drive machinery. During this conversion, some
energy is lost.
Current motors feature improved designs and incorporate the latest developments in materials technology. The
most efficient of these motors are termed High Efficiency Motors (HEMs)
Other advantages of HEMs besides energy savings are:
Higher power factor,
Longer lifespan and fewer breakdowns,
Run cooler and less susceptible to voltage and load fluctuations, and
Produce less waste heat and noise
66. Energy Conservation:
2. Thermal Energy:
Apart from electrical energy, the wet processing department of a textile mill requires substantial
quantities of thermal energy in the form of steam as a source of heating . The various ways and means
by which a substantial portion of huge quantities of thermal energy consumed during the course of
textile wet processing can be saved include the following.
Since Most Of The Thermal Energy Is Wasted In Removal Of Water, Different Attempts Have Been
Made To Reduce The Energy As Follows.
Efficient removal of water using heavy squeezing enables 15-20% reduction in energy requirement for
drying .
Vacuum impregnation squeezes out the air from the cloth 'and provides better dye or chemical
impregnation and more uniform application and this process enables 60-65% fuel saving compared to
conventional system.
Vacuum roll extractor enables 70-75% saving in energy.
67. Some Developments Relating To Increased In Efficiency of
Drying and Setting Units

Some Developments Relating To Process Developments and Process
Modifications.
70. Novel Concepts of Energy Conservation
Higher energy consumptions involved in textile operations make pathway to
innovations in various operations involved in the chemical processing of textile
materials.
Supercritical Dyeing Technique
Supercritical dyeing technique is an innovation to conserve the thermal energy as the
fabric is in the dried state because at the end of process CO2 is released in gaseous
state. This is a new technique of using supercritical carbon dioxide as a dyeing
medium. Dyeings are performed in a high pressure vessel called an autoclave.
Carbon dioxide exists as a supercritical fluid at temperature at about 31C and
pressures above 72 bar. The anhydrous process offers number of ecological and
economical advantages such as, no preparation of processing water and low energy
consumption for heating up liquor.
Ultrasonic Assisted Wet Processing
Ultrasonic assisted process is an alternative to conventional high temperature
processing of the textile materials. Ultrasound equipment installed in the existing
machines offer improved performance in fabric preparation and dyeing without
impairing the properties of the processed materials. The influence of ultrasound
intensifies the mass transfer in the wet processing of textile materials. The
advantages of ultrasonic in textile wet processing include energy saving by reduced
processing temperature, time and lower consumptions of auxiliary chemicals and
further processing enhancement by control of overall costs. Therefore, the areas that
demand higher energy consumption can be benefited using ultrasound techniques.
71. Foam Technology
The application of foam processing leads to considerable savings in
the energy required for heating, drying, thermo-fixing, and
steaming and so on because the water content is very low. The
foam processes bring down the liquor ratios required for
pretreatment, dyeing and finishing by producing uniform foam with
the required characteristics in terms of viscosity, stability, and blow
ratio. De-sizing, bleaching and finishing as well as fluorescent
brightening of goods can be done using a foam technique. It offers
potential savings in materials and energy.
Conclusion
Modernization through plant and machinery could be effective in reducing energy
consumption. Some of the important factors for energy conservation are energy
audit, maintenance, instrumental control, waste heat recovery, etc. Much research
has been carried out for the use of solar energy. However, due to high capital cost,
these have not been found wide application in textile industry.
74. What is
energy
efficiency
⢠In very simple terms, energy efficiency means using
less energy to get the same job done. Using less will
energy will result in lower energy bills and less pollution.
