Industrial Water Reclamation & Reuse
The vast majority of manufactured products require the use of water at some stage of the production process. Globally, it is estimated that around 20% of all water consumption is used by the industry, while 70% is consumed by agriculture. However, in industrialized countries, more than 50% of the water suitable for human use is consumed by industries, and thus conservation, reuse, and recycling of wastewater is a significant part of the overall management of water supplies.
As water challenges grow, reuse is essential. Industries can reduce their water footprint by reclaiming purified wastewater. Fortunately, more and more companies are incorporating wastewater reuse. Through new constructions, upgrades, or retrofits, recovered water can be reused for cleaning, irrigation, cooling, or process applications.
