    1. 1 Water Use in Chemical Process Industry Source: ChemicalProcessing.COM

    2. 2 Process Water Water added directly to product Dissolution/make-down of product ingredients Dilution of concentrate materials or reactants to facilitative production Washing of product at various stages of production Management of precipitated salts or other water soluble components Direct temperature control to enable reactions and for safety

    3. 3 Process Support Water Indirect cooling or heating Equipment wash-up for maintenance and product grade change uses Use as a barrier/seal fluid in pumps and compressors Production of steam for process use/support as well as electricity generation

    4. 4 Plant Services Water Safety related activities – fire protection, deluge systems, etc. Maintenance and plant wash-up purposes Employee potable uses

    5. 5 Water Recycle/Reuse Practices Maximize cooling tower water recovery Maximize return and reuse of non-contact cooling water Capture and treat “initial flush” stormwater – collect/reuse remaining flows Maximize reuse of stripper flows Segregation of “clean” streams from wastewater flows
