The challenge

Our client, a significant water-using food industry facility, sought comprehensive water management development. Project goals: optimize water consumption, improve wastewater treatment efficiency, and prepare for future capacity expansion — all while maintaining continuous, uninterrupted plant operation.

Our approach

01
VízMonitor system installation for accurate plant unit consumption tracking, detailed data analysis to identify leakages, water losses, and overconsumption, and water balance preparation
02
Comprehensive WWTP review
03
3-month optimization process to improve WWTP efficiency, including chemical use optimization
04
Conceptual design of WWTP expansion with permit-ready documentation
05
Detailed cost calculation for EU grant application

Results

Through VízMonitor installation, the facility achieved real-time water consumption visibility. Alerts enabled immediate problem resolution, minimizing losses and disruptions. Multiple critical leakage points were identified, and the WWTP optimization yielded significant chemical savings. The engineering investment recovered in the short term, proving the project's economic effectiveness.

Key outcomes

01

Real-time water consumption tracking across all production units

02

Multiple critical leakage points and inefficient practices identified

03

Significant chemical savings through WWTP optimization

04

Conceptual permit-ready design for expansion completed

05

Detailed and well-founded cost calculation for EU grant

Key lesson

Complex engineering work pays back through efficiency gains. Water reduction creates double savings: less water consumed means proportionally less wastewater treated.
