The document summarizes the work of GreenCape, a non-profit organization in South Africa, to promote water reuse in industrial processes. GreenCape conducted interviews with industrial managers, researchers, consultants, and technology suppliers to understand drivers and barriers to industrial water reuse. Key drivers included water risk to businesses from drought, while main barriers were high capital costs and lack of funding. The project developed case studies of companies that successfully reduced water usage and a business case calculator to evaluate potential water reuse projects. GreenCape aims to increase adoption of reuse by providing information and supporting investment in water technologies.

Blue Water: A Common Platform to Put Water Quality Data in India to Productiv...Biplav Srivastava
Water is unique in its role as a life preserver. It is important to all members of a society. However, if one is looking for quality data in India to make data-driven decisions, one is lost. This is surprising given that there is a rich history of data collection in the country and looks forward to adopting real-time water sensing in a big way. In this talk, we will discuss our work on collating and
integrating historical open pollution data and new, real-time sensing data, along citizen-centeric usage like drinking, irrigation or industrial need. The talk will cover current issues around data management practices for water that have prevented their widespread dissemination, combining multiple pollution
sensing techniques, data platforms for integration, novel analytics to aid routine decisions, field experiments on Yamuna at Delhi, Hindon at Meerut and Ganga at Haridwar, and mobile apps - GangaWatch and Neer Bandhu (Water Friend) - we have released.

UNDERSTANDING WHAT GREEN WASHING IS!.pdfJulietMogola
Many companies today use green washing to lure the public into thinking they are conserving the environment but in real sense they are doing more harm. There have been such several cases from very big companies here in Kenya and also globally. This ranges from various sectors from manufacturing and goes to consumer products. Educating people on greenwashing will enable people to make better choices based on their analysis and not on what they see on marketing sites.
Characterization and the Kinetics of drying at the drying oven and with micro...Open Access Research Paper
The objective of this work is to contribute to valorization de Nephelium lappaceum by the characterization of kinetics of drying of seeds of Nephelium lappaceum. The seeds were dehydrated until a constant mass respectively in a drying oven and a microwawe oven. The temperatures and the powers of drying are respectively: 50, 60 and 70°C and 140, 280 and 420 W. The results show that the curves of drying of seeds of Nephelium lappaceum do not present a phase of constant kinetics. The coefficients of diffusion vary between 2.09.10-8 to 2.98. 10-8m-2/s in the interval of 50°C at 70°C and between 4.83×10-07 at 9.04×10-07 m-8/s for the powers going of 140 W with 420 W the relation between Arrhenius and a value of energy of activation of 16.49 kJ. mol-1 expressed the effect of the temperature on effective diffusivity.

– Capital requirements for these technologies can be very high and there might be competition for funding
for other plant projects.
High concentration waste stream
– Highly concentrated brine waste streams present a challenge on disposal.

Notable quotes from the interviews
“If there is opportunity to save on costs, then companies will go for it.” – Policy Regulator
“The first and most prevalent reason for all businesses to consider reuse is financial gains.”- Technology Provider
“Cost saving is definitely one of the biggest drivers, if you propose anything to industry, the bottom line will be cost saving”
– Policy Regulator
“When it comes to opportunities to cost saving, the business depends on the type of industry and how much water
they consume. For some industrial companies it is viable but for some it is not.” – Technology Provider

Notable quotes from the interviews
“Unless people start valuing water as a resource, they are not willing to invest to recycle it” – Industrial Manager
“The first thing my boss asks me every time I come to him with a proposal is ‘where have they done it, and is it working?’”
– Industrial Manager
“The investment into water technologies is too high for small businesses therefore incentives, payment schemes and a good
funding structure would really help” – Industrial Manager

“We managed to achieve a 42% reduction in water consumption from 2010 to 2016 by water recovery and reuse, water
saving initiatives, water saving devices and behavioural change.” – Tony Laughton, GlaxoSmithKline Pharmaceuticals.
“By investing in new Dyevat controllers that improved the process automation and by adopting modified dye recipes and
through the recycling of cooling water as well as implementing the hot drop capability, we achieved a 70% reduction in water
consumption” – Chris Handt, ACA Threads.
“Between 2004 and 2015, we halved our water use ratio and reduced the effluent use ratio at the Parow manufacturing plant
by 68%. These water savings are the result of targeted adaptions to our processes that make production more sustainable,”

The strongest theme that has come up so far in all the interviews is that the water reuse intervention needs to make good business sense. It essentially all boils down to the numbers.
Closely hinged to the business case is the possibility of resource recovery. Most of the interviewees highlighted that resource recovery strengthened the business case and prompted industrial managers to invest in water reuse technologies
Some of the interviewees pointed out that policy and regulation had a role to play in arm twisting industrial companies but unfortunately industry has an option of only treating the effluent to compliance levels and discharging it (which many do).
Water Bill Savings and CSR do serve as a driver but to a lesser extent.
On the other side
One of the main challenges highlighted was “the lack of value for water” followed by other factors such as knowledge and awareness, funding, policy and the “yuck factor”.
