How University of Ghent could make the best decision on Legionella prevention, sanitary warm water production and water softening
A lot of water is also used during production processes: cooling water, RO water, rinsing water, demineralised water, etc. Each of these not only has different applications, but also requires specific qualities. These qualities can be physical (e.g. particle-free), chemical (e.g. specific chemical composition) or microbiological (e.g. absence of E. coli). Optimising these flows often involves treatment techniques such as softening, membrane filtration, disinfection, etc.

When business leaders are asked about their water policy, they sometimes say that water is still a cheap raw material and therefore has little economic impact. But if you turn the question around and ask what would happen if a company ran out of water, they all say in unison that this would be disastrous for the organisation. I think this applies even more to process water. Without these flows, there is simply no activity. Optimising them mainly involves ensuring that you can always count on not only a sufficient quantity, but also the right quality.
Better management of process water often results in lower water consumption. This obviously has ecological benefits. Optimising discharge flows ensures better wastewater management. Correct dosing of disinfectants not only creates a healthier workplace for employees, but also protects the environment after discharge.
