This sector has a huge impact on water: usage, pollution, etc. The first step was to define and apply a water management and the second step to make research on each opportunity identified and to implement it. All those actions have been carried out in a pharmaceutical manufacturing site. Water saving have been done on different application: washing machine, heat pump on chiller system, osmosis inverses system on purified water and continuous measurement device of water quality. The site's water consumption has been reduced by 40% in less than 6 years.
