UNISOLV™ Water and Energy Audit

This audit is used to determine water use, effluent loading and energy costs associated with water in each process area of the food, beverage or pharmaceutical processing plant. Utility systems (i.e. water preparation, comfort heating and cooling, process steam generation and process cooling, as well as waste water management) play a significant role in the sustainable development objectives of many manufacturing plants. This study establishes the foundation platform for projects geared at improving water efficiency, reducing related water and energy consumption.

Audit Process

The UNISOLV Water & Energy Audit is a systematic, detailed and structured evaluation and improvement process organized around three phases:

Phase 1: Trend & Benchmark

Historical data on plant production volumes, water and energy use, costs, effluent volume and quality is collected from the plant and analyzed to determine accurate baseline cost trends and plant conditions, and correlate it to production levels.

Phase 2: Measure & Model

A structured and comprehensive water and energy on-site data acquisition phase that: 

• Quantifies a baseline water map 
• Produces a plant water balance 
• Defines critical sources of effluent contamination 
• Provides a ranking of all water users with respect to their volume and cost 
• Defines a quantitative target of potential savings opportunities versus the industry model performance indicators

Phase 3: Implement & Sustain

A phase of planning and execution to establish on-site actions including: 

• Defining and prioritizing projects to turn opportunities into real savings 
• Establishing project Implementation guidelines on site 
• Establishing the Projects’ Performance
• Indicators Dashboard to document progress and success in the completion of these projects.
