“…feeding the dyeing process directly with low-temperature hot water produced by solar system) was more economical and efficient. (Abdel-Dayem and Mohamad, 2001). There are some other case-studies for the use of solar energy in textile wet-processing, like the one conducted in Pakistan by Muneer et al (2006).…”

The textile industry is one of the most complicated manufacturing industries because it is a fragmented and heterogeneous sector dominated by small and medium enterprises (SMEs). Energy is one of the main cost factors in the textile industry. Especially in times of high energy price volatility, improving energy efficiency should be a primary concern for textile plants.There are various energy-efficiency opportunities that exist in every textile plant, many of which are cost-effective. However, even cost-effective options often are not implemented in textile plants mostly because of limited information on how to implement energy-efficiency measures, especially given the fact that a majority of textile plants are categorized as SMEs and hence they have limited resources to acquire this information. Know-how on energy-efficiency technologies and practices should, therefore, be prepared and disseminated to textile plants.This guidebook provides information on energy-efficiency technologies and measures applicable to the textile industry. The guidebook includes case studies from textile plants around the world and includes energy savings and cost information when available. First, the guidebook gives a brief overview of the textile industry around the world, with an explanation of major textile processes. An analysis of the type and the share of energy used in different textile processes is also included in the guidebook. Subsequently, energy-efficiency improvement opportunities available within some of the major textile sub-sectors are given with a brief explanation of each measure. The conclusion includes a short section dedicated to highlighting a few emerging technologies in the textile industry as well as the potential for the use of renewable energy in the textile industry.

“…Already in 1989, the scope for solar energy utilization in the Indian textile industry was studied by Gupta (1989), followed by Abdel- Dayem and Mohamad (2001), who presented a feasibility study to obtain the potential of solar energy utilization in the textile industry. Prospects for solar water heating within the textile industries of Pakistan, Turkey, and China were the focuses of Muneer, Maubleu and Asif (2006), Muneer et al (2008), and Jia et al (2018), respectively.…”

A clear and direct guide for the design of a solar heating system is presented herein, focused on industrial applications. This guide focuses on the design of solar water heating systems for nonresidential applications. The importance of considering climatic conditions throughout the year is highlighted herein, along with reliable solar radiation data. Solar heating water systems are essential for the diversification of the Brazilian energy matrix and rationalization of the energy resources available. The system is initially dimensioned without the consideration of losses. Then, the required procedure to calculate thermal losses is described, and it is verified that the main losses occur in solar collectors and storage. After careful consideration of the hot water consumption profile and the results obtained in the calculation of the main thermal losses, the storage volume was doubled to guarantee the satisfaction of energy demands.

Abstract:Energy is the essential input for operations along the industrial manufacturing chain of textiles. China's textile industry is facing great pressure on energy consumption reduction. This paper presents an analysis of the energy footprint (EFP) of China's textile industry from 1991 to 2015. The relationship between EFP and economic growth in the textile industry was investigated with a decoupling index approach. The logarithmic mean Divisia index approach was applied for decomposition analysis on how changes in key factors influenced the EFP of China's textile industry. Results showed that the EFP of China's textile industry increased from 41.1 Mt in 1991 to 99.6 Mt in 2015. EFP increased fastest in the period of 1996-2007, with an average annual increasing rate of 7.7 percent, especially from 2001 to 2007 (8.5 percent). Manufacture of textile sector consumed most (from 58 percent to 76 percent) of the energy among the three sub-sectors, as it has lots of energy-intensive procedures. EFP and economic growth were in a relative decoupling state for most years of the researched period. Their relationship showed a clear tendency toward decoupling. Industrial scale was the most important factor that led to the increase of EFP, while decreasing energy intensity contributed significantly to reducing the EFP. The promoting effect of the factors was larger than the inhibiting effect on EFP in most years from 1991 to 2015.
