Objectives
• Economical water treatment
• Reduction of water and chemicals consumption
• Recovery of valuable materials
• Waste heat utilisation (cooling water, process baths)
• Transparent water management

BFI solutions
• Computation of water, recoverable-material, chemical and energy
  requirement balances
• Process analysis through systematic evaluation / combination of
  balance computations and production data (individual processes,
  process chains)
• Boosting of process and waste water treatment efficiency through
  combination of analytical process knowledge and knowledge-based
  systems (ANN, KBS); smart computerised water management;
  model-based simulation for treatment facilities
• In-plant analysis for production-integrated environmental
  protection, technical-commercial feasibility studies

Operating benefits
• Reduction of the fresh water requirement
• Efficient use of process water
• Lower consumption of valuable materials and chemicals
• Decreased amount and load of waste water
• Customised diagnostic/predictive tools
