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.
