DHI Water & Environment has many years of expertise in the identification, assessment and implementation of cleaner production within a wide range of industrial production sectors, for example: chemical, pharmaceutical, textile, pulp and paper, industrial laundry, tanning, graphics, food, latex products and electronics.
The overall aim of the cleaner production options has been to reduce the consumption of raw materials and chemicals as well as the basic resources: water and energy. Furthermore, the substitution of hazardous chemicals is emphasised.
The demand for environmentally sound optimisation or revision of production processes has been fulfilled by the development of a series of services. All services are based on the identification of the best available technology from a technical, economic and environmental point of view. The services comprise:
- Water minimisation and reuse in industry
- Utilisation of by-products
- Industrial wastewater treatment
- Hygienic concerns
- Process simulation of production units and processes
- Substitution of hazardous chemicals
- Environmental management systems
- Data monitoring and reporting
- Interaction between regulation of industries and the public sewer system
