Project Overview

Since it started up early 2020, the new water reclamation plant at our brewery in Meoqui has helped reduce water use from 2.99hl/ hl to 2.69hl/hl. The recycled water is reused in evaporative condensers and processes such as the CO2 plant, as well as for on-site landscaping. By improving the efficiency of the reverse osmosis system and challenging operational standards, the team in Mexico managed to achieve a further 10% reduction in water use.
