Cost Savings & Sustainability

Reduce Costs & Conserve Resources

Energy typically accounts for 60% of the cost of operating an industrial facility. Water demand has increased by 40% over the past 40 years, with an additional 25% projected by 2025. Water shortages are already disrupting manufacturing supply chains.

Due to rising costs and environmental concerns caused by climate change, water sustainability and energy conservation are becoming increasingly crucial for all businesses. As a result of these mounting pressures, companies prioritize efficiency and conservation to stay competitive and environmentally responsible. 

For more than 100 years, Garratt-Callahan (G-C) has helped businesses optimize their water usage and reduce energy consumption. Our customized water treatment solutions, energy-efficient technologies, and data-driven reporting enable effective monitoring and resource consumption management. 

The Cost of Inadequate Water Treatment

Inadequate water treatment and inefficient energy use can significantly increase operational costs because scale, corrosion, or biofilm deposits on transfer surfaces drastically reduce the efficiency of heating and cooling systems. For example:

• Hard carbonate scale deposits in boilers can cost $41,862 annually in fuel expenses.
• Biofilm fouling in chillers can lead to $29,398 in additional electricity costs each year.
• Equipment shutdowns due to scale, corrosion, or biofilms cost businesses time and resources, often leading to shortened equipment lifespan or premature replacement.

By addressing these issues, G-C helps businesses reduce expenses, improve water sustainability, and protect their equipment and personnel.

Effective Industrial Water Treatment In Action

Achieving significant water and energy savings requires a comprehensive approach. G-C offers a range of solutions designed to optimize industrial water treatment processes, ensuring efficiency, sustainability, and cost-effectiveness.
