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
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
Real-time water consumption tracking across all production units
Multiple critical leakage points and inefficient practices identified
Significant chemical savings through WWTP optimization
Conceptual permit-ready design for expansion completed
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.
