EnviroChemie offers new ‘carbon counting’ audit service

Rossdorf, Germany: –Advanced water treatment specialist EnviroChemie GmbH (EnviroChemie) has introduced a new consulting service that can help companies assess the carbon footprint of their water processing plants.

The service provides detailed CO₂ balance sheets that allow plant users to evaluate alternative strategies for water reuse or recycling, along with improved sludge disposal methods, all while reducing operating costs.

Calculating the carbon footprint

The carbon footprint of a production facility or its plants, such as wastewater treatment or steam generation plants, describes the potential carbon dioxide emissions and thus the negative impact on the atmosphere. Reducing the carbon footprint means quantifying carbon emissions from each part of the process to be able to identify where and how savings can be made.

EnviroChemie experts can now provide companies with an individual CO₂ balance sheet for their water processing plants, determining the carbon footprint of the client’s various industrial water and wastewater management systems.

The first step is to work with the customer to select the plant components or processes to be examined. Next, the data is researched and analyzed, before being used as the basis for compiling the individual carbon footprint. The EnviroChemie consulting team then determine the potential for optimization and present it to the customer.

CO₂ accounting benefits

EnviroChemie’s wealth of experience in operational management is crucial when it comes to continuously improving the carbon footprint without compromising on performance or availability. As well as the process chosen, the way the plant is operated has a crucial impact on the carbon footprint. Through operational management, the performance of the plant in terms of efficiency, energy and availability can be significantly improved by introducing a continuous improvement process.

Compiling detailed carbon balance sheets delivers operational and sustainability benefits that go beyond reducing environmental impacts. These include:

• Evaluating technological alternatives, such as water reuse or recycling, can also reduce the water footprint
• Service can also highlight superior alternatives for sludge disposal
• Environmental and emissions audit identifies sub-optimal efficiencies, leading to eventual reductions in overall operating costs

With many years of technological expertise in the sector as a systems provider for water technology, EnviroChemie is also ideally placed to implementing any potential optimizations identified by the CO₂ auditing process.
