An essential ingredient

Regardless of industrial sector, water is a vital utility, providing process water, boiler water, cooling water, washing water, water recycled in the production process and drinking water. It can absorb up to 15% of capital expenditures. Its management therefore has a direct impact on a company's economic performance and growth.
  • It takes about 8,000 liters of water, for example, to build an automobile.
  • 4 to 8 liters of water to produce 1 liter of beer.
