Water is an expensive and scarce resource which needs to be used efficiently. In an effort to promote responsible and efficient use of this natural resource, Carlsberg India’s Brewery in Hyderabad set out to develop a 'Waste Water Recovery Plant’.
The purpose of the plant is to reprocess waste water through Reverse Osmosis (called Ultra Filtration). This way the water can be reutilized in other brewery processes such as cleaning of floors and utilities.
The project aims to achieve zero discharge of waste water from the brewery into the surrounding area which is mainly used for farming. Based on the plant's capacity, the expected annual savings on water from the plant is expected to be 58500 KL, whereas the saving potential in terms of cost is expected to be as much as USD 104,000 per year.
The initiation of the plant reinforces Carlsberg's commitment towards making a positive contribution to the environment and the society in which we do business.
