Optimizing Water Consumption<br />
All <strong>Nestlé</strong> worksites employ various means to use water efficiently, ever pressed to reduce consumption while increasing<br />
production. Workers are greatly involved not only in implementing water-conservation practices but more so in thinking<br />
of ways to conserve water at their level, since they are the ones who know best the conditions within which they do their<br />
job. Water-conserving ideas are thus aplenty in the worksites — mostly simple practices that cost little spending but<br />
cause a lot of savings.<br />
Among these are:<br />
• Reuse of sealing water from vacuum pumps, where the water is recirculated<br />
and used all over again as sealing water for the same vacuum pumps<br />
• Recirculation of cooling water instead of being immediately discharged to<br />
waste<br />
• Reuse of water from Reverse Osmosis plants for such purposes as flushing<br />
of toilets<br />
• Reuse of the final rinsing water during cleaning-in-place (CIP) of process<br />
equipment as initial rinsing water for the next CIP<br />
• Reuse of effluent for irrigation of plants and grass inside factory premises<br />
• Use of automatic washer for the cleaning dryer, which regulates volume<br />
of water used to clean the dryer<br />
• Insulation of steam valves and leak management<br />
• Use of sensor-operated faucets, which ensures automatic stoppage of<br />
water flow as soon as faucet use is done<br />
• Throttling of supply valve to regulate water flow<br />
• Installation of cistern tanks to collect rainwater<br />
• Use of waterless urinals<br />
