To reduce the manufacturing cost of dye process as well as to reduce salt formation during neutralization of dye. In

preliminary studies, laboratory–scale preparations were conducted to further investigate the color strength

relationships between the modified and commercial dyes. An optimized procedure was developed for the application of the dye. It is clear that high

fixation levels and deep shades are obtained using the modified dye at lower cost and salt levels than commonly employed for the commercial dyes.

?ere is no denying the fact that dyestuff industry is the major growth driver all around especially in the textile and chemical industries in the

country. ?e dye industry achieved growth rate of 15% during last year. ?e Share of Gujarat in all Indian export is about 60%. To achieve the above

mentioned thing Cleaner Production is applied. Cleaner Production means economic savings from reduced consumption of raw materials and

energy and lower treatment costs as well as other benefits such as a better company image and better working conditions. Fiber reactive dyes are

commonly employed for textile dying; the use of these dyes can introduce high costs and environmental concerns.
