Therefore, the increase in water reuse rate and reduction in consumption of water resources is closely related unnecessary water consumption. to climate change. Inner Mongolia Company Reduction in Water Consumption Water Conservation Measures in Production Plants Innovated the production processes to reduce water consumption Incorporated consumption reduction indicators into the annual assessment of each production plant Water Conservation Measures in Offices Increased the awareness of water conservation among employees through strengthening the publicity of laws and regulations related to water-saving by means of meetings, videos and display boards Strengthened the management of regular maintenance of water equipment to prevent leakage or dripping, so as to practise turning the faucet off at will Water Conservation Optimisation Projects of the Year Plant-wide condensate recycling work was carried out to collect condensate from steam pipes and the material concentration process respectively, replacing the drinking water used in original workshop process and thus reducing water consumption. The concentrated evaporation condensate, machine seal cooling water and concentrated drainage water were changed from direct discharge to recycling, mainly for workshop decarboniser cleaning and domestic cleaning, saving a total of 280,000 tonnes of water. Heating the low temperature secondary dialysate with high temperature finished phenylacetic acid crossover solution saves 2,190 tonnes of steam per year. Collection and recycling of bacterial residue filtrate reduces the discharge of cloth wash water and saves an average of 800 to 1,000 tonnes of water per day. 62 Environmental, Social and Governance Report 2020 The United Laboratories International Holdings Limited
