Huntsman Textile Effects, a leading player in innovative and environmentally sustainable dyes, chemicals and digital inks, has successfully implemented a water conservation process to improve water efficiency and reduce net water usage at its Baroda unit.
This conservation project will have potential savings of Rs. 10 crore or US $146,000 a year for the company. It directly contributes to Huntsman’s Horizon 2025 goals to reduce net water usage at facilities in water-stressed regions.
In a press release, the company informed that the initiative undertaken at the plant aims to save around 76 kilolitres of Reverse Osmosis water per day by modifying the phase sequence in the pH measurement programme.
Mark Devaney, VP, Manufacturing and Operations Excellence, Huntsman Textile Effects said, “At Huntsman, we recognise the important role we play in creating a more sustainable future and are committed to the well-being of the communities where we operate and the protection of the environment. We are continually looking for ways to improve the environmental footprint of our manufacturing sites and have been implementing numerous projects in recent years to reduce our water usage.”
