Water Conservation Achievement Through Production Improvement at FEPV-Knitting and Dyeing Plant



FEPV-Knitting and Dyeing Plant delivered remarkable water conservation performance in 2024 by cutting its water withdrawal through five innovative production improvements without any capital spending.
1. Refinement of the dyeing process: Water consumption is minimized by applying direct dyeing to fabrics with minor color variations to reduce the need for returning the fabrics to the dyeing machine for repeated dyeing.
2. Production adjustments: The production of filament products are relocated to the low-liquor-ratio dyeing machine, which delivers the same result but uses less dyeing liquid.
3. Reduction of the dyeing stages for greige goods
4. Production optimization: The washing process is no longer required as the color fastness has been improved by modifying the dry setting at the stenter using a lower temperature. .
These measures reduced water withdrawal by a total of 132,504 KL, which accounts for 14% of the total water withdrawal at FEPV-Knitting and Dyeing Plant.
