Water Audit – Core Element of Water Management Program

A Water Audit is a “Systematic Approach

of Identifying, Measuring, Monitoring

and Reducing the Water Consumption by

various activities in an Industry”

Why Water Audit ? One should know exactly how the water is

being used in his premises prior to planning

any water management program.


Key Drivers of Water Audit

Legal Requirement

AP, TN, Karnataka, Gujarat, Maharashtra

CREP (Corporate Responsibility for

Environmental Protection) – 17 industry sec

Water stress regions – Availability / Quality

Corporate image

Business risk involved - Sustainability

Payback options in places of high water

tariff for industry


Standardization and Benchmarking

Industry are continuously minimizing their water footprint thus setting standards for SPECIFIC

WATER CONSUMPTION in their units.

Objective is to match National and International Benchmarks established in each of the sector


Examples on Specific Water Consumption

Pursuing to match or even parallel with

national and international

benchmarks

Steel industry - Vizak Steel 2007-08


Chemicals – TATA Chemicals


Approach to Water Audit in Industry

1. Starts with Training and Awareness

2. Inculcating water saving thoughts within the employees

3. Establishment of Water Balance within the premises

4. Application of 3 R’s principle – Reduce, Reuse and Recycle

5. Monitoring & Reporting to Sustain the Benefits

Water Management Approach # 4

Reduce at Source(How much water is really

required?)


Reduction at Source

Better operating controls

Installation of water saving devices

Change of device/ equipment

Process modification

Few case studies are discussed herewith


Suggested action plan Immediately avoid use of hydrant water for other

applications

Safety aspects

Mandatory requirement

Create awareness amongst

Plant personnel

Contractors & suppliers

Introduce Work permit system for FH water usage

Continuous monitoring required

Good potential to save process water Atleast 50 m3/h or 1200 m3/day

Case Study 1 Avoid use of fire hydrant system for miscellaneous applications


Before

To ETP To ETP

Fresh

WaterFresh Water

Fresh Water Consumption = 70 m3/day

Case Study 2 Water use in rinsing section

30 m3/daypH -5.0, TDS-900

30 m3/daypH -6.5, TDS-100

Excellent potential to reuse 2nd stage rinse water in 1st stage rinsing

Components


After

Fresh Water Saving = 30 m3/day

To ETP

Fresh

Water

Reuse 2nd stage rinse as I rinse

Components


Benefits

Water Saving

9000 m3/yr

Annual savings = Rs.1.50 Lakhs Investment = Nil Payback period = Immediate


Case Study 3 Optimize pump gland seal water consumption in the plant

Approach for optimization Throttle the individual valves

Alternatively, further reduce the line size

As a long term option Install a closed loop seal water circulation system

Provide dedicated cooling towers Individual plants – Can be combined where feasible

Industry best practice For mechanical seals

“Smartflow” intelligent control system – Safematic Inc.

Allows water only when cooling is required


Case Study 3 -continue

Water Savings = 4,95,000 m3/yr

Annual savings = Rs.9.90 lakhsInvestment reqd = Nil

Benefits Atleast 15% fresh water savings in gland seals

Fresh water savings ~ 1500 m3/day

Continuous awareness and monitoring

required Sustain the benefits achieved
