Reducing water use
14 January 2019
Energy efficient solutions from Grundfos are helping reduce the impact pumps are having on the environment. In 2008, the company set itself some tough targets, one of which was to reduce total water use at all its plants by 50% by 2025.
To achieve this, various solutions have been put into place around the world. A Grundfos plant in Denmark has seen a system installed that collects and cleans wastewater from its paint plant for re-use. The closed loop system is projected to save 10,000m3 of water/year and is a working showcase of how wastewater can be treated effectively at source.
This approach forms part of the wider Grundfos strategy to support all 17 UN Sustainable Development Goals, especially the two that focus on clean water (6) and climate action (13).
The UN Global Agreement Goal focuses on providing universal access to clean water and sanitation which is still something that 800 million people lack. Taking action on a practical level such as this, is proof, says Grundfos, that it is taking this commitment very seriously.
