Water use in commercial buildings varies according to plumbing fixture types,
equipment installed, and the actual function of the building. For example, buildings that have commercial
kitchens and cafeterias will have a higher water consumption rate than those that do not. Similarly,
buildings with cooling towers will also have higher water consumption rates.
While these systems may consume their share of water, they are not the majority users.
This Instead, that honor belongs to restroom plumbing fixtures: lavatories, water closets, urinals, and
showers. The U.S. Department of Energy estimates restroom plumbing fixtures account for
approximately 60% of the total water use in office and administrative buildings; the remaining
40% is estimated to be used by heating and cooling systems.
The effective gathering of Greywater is extremely important and must include all water
sources including cooling towers, rain harvesting,
Laundry Industry and green
roofs. The treatment of Greywater in commercial building can be carried out with the
installation of minimized water treatment systems in the basement of the building.
Greywater recycling requires a high level of biological water treatment, filtration and disinfection.
The Irricycle Membrane BioReactors (MBR) offers a technically acclaimed solution for the effective
treatment of Greywater. Installation of the MBR in new commercial developments provides an
economical solution that offers a short ROI, assuring the building owners and their leaseholders
with low cost reclaim water and all the environmental benefits.
Water and effluent costs are increasingly becoming a larger part of the operating cost of professional
laundries. Water recycling in the launderette industry provides an efficient way to reduce operational
costs, save water and reduce energy bills. This is a positive step being taken towards better
environmental management of the launderette operation.
Irricycle technology is based on a proven water purification process that offers an ideal solution
for the launderette
industry, with a long list of successful installations. The filtration and treatment process provides
clean, disinfected and
pre-heated water to the washing machines. This solution offers complete automation that tracks
the systems
performance,
guaranteeing a high quality of recycled water at all times.
