Advancing Sustainability of Process Industries through Digital and Circular Water Use Innovations
20% of all fresh water consumption globally is used by industry and this share is increased to 50% in industrialized countries. The industrial sector is also a major water polluter, as only up to 60% of industrial wastewater receives treatment before being disposed of into the environment.
AquaSPICE’s goal is the development and validation of water efficiency management and optimization methodologies, technologies and tools that will carry process industries to a near-zero water footprint target with minimum freshwater consumption and water-borne emissions.
