Project Abstract | We have identified 5 typical sites in the industries mentioned with a total water usage of over 1.4 million cubic metres per annum- based on 20% recovery rate this would give potential water savings of 292,000m3/annum. At approximately 1/m3, the total potential savings in water charges alone on these sites would be 292,000 per annum. When effluent treatment/disposal and pumping costs are taken into account the total savings would be closer to 400,000 per annum. The results of the project and the savings identified will be directly replicable across the industries concerned. |
