Managing Water Use in Speciality

Chemicals Manufacture

Water is used during many stages of the manufacture of speciality chemicals. Water is a relatively cheap commodity, but most of the water used becomes effluent. Combined water and effluent costs are between 1.5% and 4% of production costs in most speciality chemical companies. However, water supply and trade effluent charges are only the tip of the iceberg. Hidden costs include on-site water treatment, water heating and distribution, and effluent treatment, in addition to the value of materials and product lost to effluent.

Adopting a systematic approach to water management can help speciality chemical companies to:

reduce operating costs;
comply with stricter environmental legislation and standards;
improve productivity and product quality;
improve working conditions;
improve their public image.

This Good Practice Guide is intended to help speciality chemical companies save money by reducing their water and effluent costs. The Guide:

describes a systematic approach to minimising water use and effluent generation;
presents benchmark data on specific water consumption and effluent strength in the industry;
provides practical advice on how to reduce water and effluent costs;
gives industry examples illustrating the cost and other benefits of taking action to reduce water use;
contains checklists and a cost savings worksheet for companies to use at their sites to help them identify cost-effective opportunities to reduce water and effluent costs;
signposts to further, more detailed information in other publications and from other authoritative sources such as the UK's Environment Agency.

Many speciality chemical companies have already implemented measures that have reduced their water consumption by between 5% and 50%.......more

Business Skills

12 Tips for Managers from Employees - Part 1

1. Never give me work in the morning. Always wait until 5:00 and then bring it to me. The challenge of a deadline is refreshing.

2. If it's really a "rush job," run in and interrupt me every 10 minutes to inquire how it's going. That helps.

3. Always leave without telling anyone where you're going. It gives me a chance to be creative when someone asks where you are.

4. If my arms are full of papers, boxes, books or supplies, don't open the door for me. I need to learn how to function as aparaplegic and opening doors is good training.

5. If you give me more than one job to do, don't tell me which is the priority. Let me guess.

6. Do your best to keep me late. I like the office and really have nowhere to go or anything to do.

Accepta Innovation

New "SafeOx" Chlorine Dioxide Generators

Accepta’s new, innovative "SafeOx" chlorine dioxide generation system offers a safe, cost effective means of generating chlorine dioxide at the point of use. Accepta’s SafeOx generators are suitable for a range of applications including, healthcare, food and beverage processing, cruise ships, hotels, cooling towers, water hygiene, potable water, wastewater, residential, commercial and industrial facilities.

The SafeOx system comprises a panel-mounted, two-part generating system that uses sodium chlorite and hydrochloric acid in the presence of a unique catalyst to generate ClO2. Each system is designed for continuous operation in sterilisation units, cooling towers and other applications.

Benefits and features of SafeOx generators are significant and include:

Safe production of ClO2
Cost effective, highly effective biocide
Eco-friendly
Easy to use
Chlorine free ClO2
On-demand ClO2
Excellent alternative to bleach, ozone and bromine
Point of use generation
No bleach, no added acid and no chlorine gas
Single prescusor
Not pH dependant
No pipe corrosion

SafeOx system generators are available in four convenient sizes producing ClO2 in the following amounts:

3.8 grams per hour
19.0 grams per hour
95.0 grams per hour
285.0 grams per hour

For more information about SafeOx generators please review their dedicated web site http://www.safeox.com, call on +44 (0) 161 240 2100 or e-mail sales@safeox.com.

12 Tips for Managers from Employees - Part 2

7. If a job I do pleases you, keep it a secret. Leaks like that could cost me a promotion.

8. If you don't like my work, tell everyone. I like my name to be popular in conversation.

9. If you have special instructions for a job, don't write them down. If fact, save them until the job is almost done.

10. Never introduce me to the people you're with. When you refer to them later, my shrewd deductions will identify them.

11. Be nice to me only when the job I'm doing for you could really change your life.

12. Tell me all your little problems. No one else has any and it's nice to know someone is less fortunate.
