Case Study
The primary objective of this case study is to compare the performance and cost implications before and after the installation of Filternox® Automatic Self-Cleaning water filters on the leather board machine to recycle water and for nozzle protection.
The focus is particularly on rapid return on investment and green environmental solutions.
Before Installation
+ High consumption of city mains water.
+ Environmental impact due to wasteful water consumption.
+ Regular maintenance and potential wear on nozzles due to water quality issues.
+ Significant operational costs related to water usage.
+ High operational expenses associated with the discharge of wastewater in the industrial zone.
Before the installation of Filternox® water filters, the leather board machine directly utilized city mains water, leading to a considerable cost every month. This inefficient practice resulted in substantial recurring expenses associated with the disposal of dirty water, contributing to ongoing operational costs.
After Installation
+ Significantly reduced reliance on mains water.
+ 24/7 nozzle protection.
+ Improved environmental sustainability through water recycling.
+ Compared to the time before installation, there is a substantial reduction in wastewater discharge and the associated industrial zone fees.
+ Rapid return on investment, achieved in approximately two months.
+ Daily water savings is comparable to water consumption of a small town with 6000 residents.
Filternox® Filters stand out as a highly efficient and rapidly self-redeeming investment. The leading leather board manufacturing company in this case experienced annual savings of approximately €135,000 by installing the Filternox® Filters. Beyond the substantial economic benefits, the environmental impact is noteworthy, as the system contributes significantly to water conservation, preventing wasteful discharge into sewage and positively affecting our sustainable future.
| Daily Water Saving | 1.400 tonnes |
| Annual Water Saving | 369.600 m3 |
| Water Price per m3 | €0.3648 |
| Annual Total Amount Saved | €134.830 + Industrial zone waste discharge fees |
This case study serves as a compelling example of the tangible financial benefits and sustainable outcomes that can be realized through strategic investments in water filtration and recycling technologies offered by Filternox®.
