Deven Supercriticals has showcased the commercial scale operation of SUPRAUNO®, marking a significant step forward in sustainable textile dyeing. The demonstration highlights the actual machinery, process flow and real time fabric dyeing, offering rare visibility into a waterless dyeing system already operating at industrial scale.

SUPRAUNO® uses supercritical CO₂ as the dyeing medium, eliminating the need for water during dyeing and finishing. The patented technology allows mills to use conventional dyes and existing trichrome recipes, enabling easy adoption without changes to current dye chemistry. The system works across cotton, polyester, nylon, viscose, linen, wool, acrylic and blended fabrics, addressing a wide range of industry needs.

The process removes salt usage in cotton dyeing and eliminates reduction clearing for polyester. Dye uptake improves while auxiliary chemical consumption drops by up to 90%, sharply reducing effluent treatment plant loads. Shorter batch cycles cut energy demand by nearly 50%, delivering strong operational and environmental gains.

India’s textile wet processing sector consumes over 3.5 billion litres of water daily, making scalable solutions like SUPRAUNO® critical for long term sustainability. The technology positions Indian innovation at the centre of global efforts to decarbonise and detoxify textile manufacturing.
