Shopfloor survey and evaluation of the consumption data, after part/full implementations of the recommendations for standardizing the processing conditions, in the participating units in woven, knitted and worsted mills showed, not only reduction of water consumption from 25 to 38 % for the similar production pattern, but also helped in reducing the cost of thermal and electrical energy. In addition, the measures suggested helped the mills to reduce the wet processing cost/unit production on colours and chemicals, improve consistency of results, lower reprocessing, load of pollutant in the discharged effluent stream, etc.
