Water recycling, Leather board manufacturing plant
01 January 2019
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 for water recycling and nozzle protection.
The focus is particularly on rapid return on investment and environmentally friendly solutions.
Before Installation
+ High consumption of municipal 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 used municipal tap water, resulting in considerable monthly costs. This inefficient practice led to substantial recurring expenses associated with the disposal of wastewater, contributing to ongoing operational costs.
After Installation
+ Significantly reduced reliance on municipal water.
+ 24/7 nozzle protection.
+ Improved environmental sustainability through water recycling.
+ Compared to 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 are comparable to the water consumption of a small town with 6,000 residents.
Filternox® Filters stand out as a highly efficient and rapidly self-repaying investment. In this case, the leading leather board manufacturer achieved annual savings of approximately €135,000 by installing Filternox® Filters. Beyond the substantial economic benefits, the environmental impact is noteworthy, as the system contributes significantly to water conservation, prevents wasteful discharge into the sewer system, and positively impacts our sustainable future.
| Daily Water Savings | 1,400 metric tons |
| Annual Water Savings | 369,600 m³ |
| Water Price per m³ | €0.3648 |
| Annual Total Amount Saved | €134,830 + Industrial zone wastewater discharge fees |
This case study serves as a compelling example of the tangible financial benefits and sustainable outcomes that can be achieved through strategic investments in water filtration and recycling technologies offered by Filternox®.
