FACTORIES URGED TO TREAT AND REUSE EFFLUENT

摘要

Martin Brockmann, managing director of Aquantis, part of Veolia Water Solutions and Technologies (www.veoliawater.co.uk), considered the reuse of industrial wastewater. As global climate change reduces available water resources and the cost of mains water supplies rises steadily, the manufacturing industry is beginning to focus on water management. However, many factories are failing to make use of a potential low cost and environmentally friendly source of water: effluent. Treating and reusing effluent reduces the volume of water imported to a factory as well as lowering the volume of effluent discharge, effectively doubling the cost saving.
