While not all industries are equal, the majority of businesses make use of significant amounts of water either through their industrial processes, their produce creation & growth, their make-up, cooling, washing, sanitary and kitchen use. So how does a wastewater recovery solution help you achieve your ESG targets?
ALGAESYS delivers affordable and indeed margin enhancing benefits for organisations in meeting their ESG targets. Our solution helps them meet a number of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.
The ALGAESYS resource recovery centre makes it possible for businesses to adopt wastewater processing and water re-use where previously it was impractical and costly. It does this through having addressed all of the barriers that previously existed, namely:
Footprint – our system typically occupies one-quarter of a traditional wastewater treatment plant
Complexity – our system is simple and robust enough to only need minimal unskilled maintenance
Cost – our CAPEX cost is typically 75% of a comparable system and our OPEX cost is less than 25% of comparable systems
Speed – the treatment time for water in our system is a third of that in a comparable system
Return – an independent party have calculated the ROI to be less than three years
With the elimination of these barriers, the question of quantifiable benefits comes into play and how exactly does an ALGAESYS system help you achieve your ESG targets. Although not all of these benefits may apply to every implementation, as they depend upon the business activities, the characteristics of the wastewater, the intended type of re-use and the prevailing cost/methodology of currently obtaining water for your business, the following provides a good indication of the potential benefits and contribution to your ESG targets:
