Industrial water: our essential guide to pollution, treatment & solutions
Without water, many companies and the products they provide would fail to exist. Water use is a fundamental commodity for nearly every step of the manufacturing and production processes around the world. Whether it's deionised water for electronics and pharmaceutical sectors, or softened water for boiler feed applications, water is necessary and comes embedded in the footprint of virtually item created on the planet. And to put it into perspective: industry accounts for around 40% of total water abstractions.
Yet, at the same time, many global companies have manufacturing facilities operating in water scarce parts of the world, with over two thirds of companies now reporting exposure to water risks.
This article is designed to provide an essential guide to everything you need to know about industrial water and wastewater.
Tech Dive: Pumps- the unlikely hero of the energy crisis?
Pumps. The powerhouse of the water sector.?
An essential part of any water operation for transporting volumes of water from one point to another, pumps are also incredibly power intensive, demanding high energy consumption to fulfil their roles.?
While five years ago net-zero road maps were at the top of utilities and corporations' to-do lists, the ongoing geo-political situation that led to a signification increase in energy prices has seen innovations in pumps providing a quick-win solution to cut down the energy bill.?
Could pumps become the unlikely hero of the energy crisis? In our latest Tech Dive, Aquatech Online takes a look.?

New Zealand start-up backed to accelerate zero liquid discharge
New Zealand ZLD start-up Aquafortus has gone on to raise a further $17.5 million in Series A funding to accelerate the recovery of water from high-salinity brines.
ZLD recovery and crystallisation approach
Until now, recovering fresh water from high salinity brines was prohibitively expensive due to the use of thermal-based evaporation, which is highly energy-intensive.?
New Zealand-based start-up, Aquafortus, is setting out to change that by commercialising a novel and proprietary zero liquid discharge (ZLD) technology to change the water is recovered from high-salinity brines.
In 2021, the company secured Series A funding of $7.5m from deep tech venture capital firm DCVC for its patented zero liquid discharge technology. The company has since secured a further $17m in Series A1 funding.
