Situation/Problem

Cadbury Adams uses a couple hundred gallons of water per day. They had high salt usage, and large amounts of brine discharge to the sanitary systems. Brine is highly salty and contains heavy metal and organic contaminants – not environment-friendly.

Solution

Cadbury Adams is concerned about environmental issues and voluntarily makes improvements wherever they can.

We showed them how we could integrate brine reclaim and save them significant money on salt usage. There would be less brine going down the drain and they would be helping the environment as well.
