Project Overview

We try to establish preventive actions to start minimizing the potential risks now. Site-specific targets will support these actions and ensure that we reach our goals. Increased investment in new technology and infrastructure as follows: usage of washing water for the air conditioning (saving about 18.000 m3/a), improved filtration of rain water for RO-water production (saving about 10.000 m3/a), replacement of the pre-treatment and KTL of the paint shop (saving about 36.00…

Project Results

These actions should minimize the water demand of the production site further and secure the water supply. The freshwater demand of the factory decreased by 31 % from 2010 to 2016. Furthermore the production site is encouraged in two projects.
