Water Balance in Industry
Portugal is vulnerable to prolonged droughts. Managing water well protects production capacity.
Climate change makes Portugal vulnerable to prolonged droughts, and water is an increasingly scarce resource that must be managed rigorously. Industries depend on access to water — managing it well is critical to keeping production capacity through possible rationing periods.
The water balance cuts the industrial facility's water footprint and optimises the resource across every application: human consumption, raw material, cooling and all other uses.
What the audit delivers
Consumption by area
Water-consumption data broken down by operating area.
Waste identified
Identification of improper consumption, waste and water-related costs.
Network knowledge
Mapping of networks, operating regimes, automation and water quality at every point.
Reduction opportunities
Concrete opportunities to cut consumption and eliminate losses.
Alternative sources
Rainwater, treated wastewater and unused process water.
Quality matched to use
Water-quality adjustment strategies, keeping potable water for essential uses only.
Continuous management
Tools to continuously detect improper consumption and infrastructure failures.
Smaller water footprint
Less water drawn, less water discharged — and a more resilient operation.
Do you know how much water each area of your plant uses?
A water balance answers with numbers — and with a plan.
