The world’s population is increasingly suffering from water supply problems. This increases the need for water usage and sustainability in the chemical product manufacturing industry, as it does in all industries.
The chemical industry in developed nations has set standards on sustainability goals, including aims to reduce its water consumption significantly.
Today, chemical companies use every litre of water almost six times over, which is a welcome use in water recycling.
Furthermore, the chemical sector provides innovative products and systems for water supply treatment that promote a cleaner planet and make positive contributions to energy consumption reduction.
Water is required for many chemical processes. It takes around 360,000 litres of water to produce one tonne of paper. It takes about 340,000 litres of freshwater consumption to make one ton of steel and 100 litres of water to get just one pound of plastic.
To exemplify how much water chemical companies use, The Dow Chemical Company uses 300 million gallons of water every day. Water is used as an ingredient or a processing medium in thousands of chemical products, from chlorine to petroleum.
In addition to its use in primary production, water is also used as a medium for cooling, heating, steaming, and cleaning. Efficiently reusing water is the workhorse of sustainable water management.
The chemicals industry has developed and implemented systems and measures to purify recycled water and keep natural waters clean.
Water is just as important and valuable as the raw materials used or the energy consumed at production sites.
Modern chemical plants use analysts and technicians with extensive knowledge of the chemical industry. These experts combine reliable, state-of-the-art measurement technologies with competent technical support.
