Manufacturing

Probably every manufactured product uses water during some part of the production process.

Industrial water use includes water used for fabricating, processing, washing, diluting, cooling, or transporting a product; incorporating water into a product; or for sanitation needs within the manufacturing facility.

Some industries that use large amounts of water produce such commodities as food, paper, chemicals, refined petroleum, or primary metals. By 2025 it is predicted that 24% of the total freshwater withdrawal will be for industrial purposes.

Industrial reliance on water makes it essential to preserve water in every aspect possible and make sure water pollution is kept at minimal levels.  

Water cost reduction

We appreciate that whilst financial and environmental concerns can be huge drivers in directing you towards a full water management service the greatest concerns are often determined by the following:

  • How much time/manpower will we have to dedicate to deliverling this?
  • How will it effect production/operations?
  • Will lines need to be closed?
  • Will works you undertake effect water quality/pressure?
  • How much will it cost?

We understand that all costs have an impact on your bottom-line as does limiting productivity; in recognising this relationship we are able to devise a strategy that minimises the impact on your business. We can undertake works out of hours, for example during the night, or if your business operates 24/7 we can undertake in stages during agreed quiet periods.
