Water: quality, discharges, balances and water efficiency

Industrial water tends to be managed through the bill and the discharge permit, and hardly at all through the balance. We close the balance, review quality and identify where consumption and load can be cut.

What's included

• Water balance by stream, with flow measurement and closure of the balance.
• Characterisation of inlet and outlet quality and discharge monitoring.
• Review of the discharge permit and the applicable limits.
• Water efficiency assessment and reduction and reuse measures.
• Water footprint under ISO 14046.
• Efficient water use plan with investment, savings and payback.

When you need it

• You are exceeding discharge limits or have received an official query.
• Water and sewerage charges weigh on the bill and you do not know where to act.
• You are considering reusing water and need to know whether it pays and whether it is legal.
• You have to disclose your water footprint in your sustainability reporting.

How we work

We measure before proposing: most of the balances we find do not close, and the saving lies in the difference. Measures are presented with investment and payback, not as generic recommendations.
