Water audits

Your business could benefit form a strategic or domestic water audit.

Strategic water audit

Our site wide strategic water audit provides you with a complete picture of your site's use of water and effluent generation.Combining in-depth analysis of water, waste water and production data with practical on-site observations, our audit identifies how you could reduce water and effluent costs. We can also highlight opportunities to minimise product and raw material losses and to remove or reduce waste water generation at source.

The audit has the added benefit of helping you to achieve any environmental targets set by your own business, your customers, or the Environment Agency.

The audit is an invaluable tool in helping to reinforce your own cost reduction strategy and gain buy in across your business.

What we do

  • Site walkover - an experienced auditor will carry out a detailed observation of your on-site processes, identifying areas of high consumption or wastage, plus cost saving opportunities.
  • Site data analysis- a detailed site data analysis will be taken including efficiency correlation analysis, analysis of production, water and effluent volumes and, where appropriate, concentrations.
  • Mass balance- a site-wide balance will be created, exposing unidentified losses and the costs associated with each component and identify the key cost drivers for your site.
  • Cost benefit analysis- opportunities will be identified for savings, showing payback periods and priorities by profitability.
  • Presentation of study- at the conclusion of the study we'll feedback our results in a format to suit your needs, whether it's a presentation to your management team, a full technical report, or both.

Domestic water audit

This audit gives you a complete picture of your site's water use for non-process functions like toilets, washrooms and showers, including a review of fittings to identify areas of high consumption or waste. We also include an assessment of opportunities for cost saving, together with a cost benefit analysis showing payback periods for the installation of water conservation equipment.

Improving your understanding of how your business uses domestic water will help you address any issues at source and make informed decisions to improve your site's overall efficiency. What's more, by identifying efficiency opportunities on-site, the audit can become a key tool in supporting any cost reduction strategy.

 

Our service includes a site walkover to review fittings and assess volumetric losses and areas of high consumption or wastage on site.  This helps us establish exactly how and where conservation equipment might be used. Our report will present our results including a fittings survey, cost savings, budget analysis, prices and payback periods.
