Energy Efficiency Services Limited (EESL) is all set to sign an MoU with two textile processing units in Surat, Gujarat (India) to be suggested by the South Gujarat Textile Processors Association (SGTPA), for setting up the Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) and the caustic recovery plant at the Common Effluent Treatment Plant (CETP) in Pandesara GIDC, Gujarat.
Jitu Vakharia, President, SGTPA informed that the CETP there is unable to process the waste generated from the textile processing units. The automation of the processing units will help in reducing energy and the carbon emission.

The project will be undertaken by the United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO) with support from the Global Environment Facility (GEF) for promoting energy efficiency and renewable energy in Surat’s textile cluster in collaboration with Ministry of MSME (MoMSME) and the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE).
S P Garnaik, Chief General Manager, EESL said, “The main aim is to improve production and save energy. After the success, other units may also join in the project. It is high time the textile sectors and other related sectors must think on reducing the carbon emission by using state-of-the-art technology.”
