Introduction
Bangladesh is the world’s second-largest textile and garment exporter, with over 4,500 factories producing massive volumes of wastewater daily. The Department of Environment (DoE) under the Bangladesh Environment Conservation Act 1995 enforces increasingly strict effluent standards. HydroChemix supplies Bangladeshi clients with high-performance PAC and PAM backed by competitive pricing and regular shipping to Chittagong Port.
Bangladesh Industrial Effluent Standards
Key parameters under ECR 1997 (Schedule 10):
- pH: 6-9
- BOD5: <50 mg/L (inland surface water)
- COD: <200 mg/L
- TSS: <150 mg/L
- Color: colorless (qualitative)
Key Industries and Solutions
1. Textile and Garment Sector
The textile sector accounts for 84% of Bangladesh’s exports. Major production hubs include Dhaka, Gazipur, Narayanganj, and Chattogram. Textile ETPs use PAC for dye and color removal, particularly for reactive and disperse dyes. Our PAC 30% spray dried powder achieves 90-99% color removal at 300-800 mg/L depending on dye type. Combined with anionic PAM, textile ETPs can meet DoE discharge standards for COD, color, and TSS.
2. Leather and Tanneries
The Savar Tannery Estate (Dhaka) is one of the world’s largest leather processing zones. Tannery wastewater contains high chromium, sulfides, and organic loads. Our PAC effectively removes chromium(III) through precipitation at pH 8-9, helping CETPs meet the 0.5 mg/L Cr discharge limit.
3. Municipal Water Supply
Dhaka WASA and Chittagong WASA operate surface water treatment plants increasingly adopting PAC over traditional alum. Our drinking water grade PAC meets NSF/ANSI 60 standards with low residual aluminum.
