Industrial End-User Case Study on Water Reuse
March 10th, 10:00 am – 11:20 am EST, USA
Webinar description: The industrial sector is responsible for the consumption and discharge of a significant amount of the world’s water. Due to the impact of the sector’s presence on local resources, as well as the customer facing nature that these firms maintain, both light and heavy industry have over the past several decades begun to think more holistically about water as a truly irreplaceable commodity. This webinar will showcase leading engineering professionals from Waterleau, next generation bioremediation technologies from Allonnia, and discussions regarding a successful case study from Heineken as these firms discuss how industrial reuse is consistent with company-wide sustainability goals, and how new technologies and solutions are enabling the evolution of reuse into a resilient, cost-effective approach to the shortages and quality concerns of reuse.
