From water treatment works to equalization tanks

We have our own water supply from the river Viskan. It is therefore important for us that we pay close attention to the debate relating to our lakes and watercourses. We are a member of the Viskan Water Conservation Association.

We also need to control emissions and we do this by measuring the pH of our equalisation tanks. This is where, in line with our operating license, we measure various levels, including the concentration of various metals such as zinc and copper. Our operating license, environmental labelling criteria and the debate about the environment govern the parameters that we measure. We also control emissions to air – that is, emissions from our production processes.
