Abstract
The paper presents the resources existing in a large chemical plant with regard to the water consumption reduction. An intensive operating program of the cooling circuits combined with a better condensate recovery and a proper treatment of wastewaters could reduce the raw water intake up to 60 percent from the actual intake. Consequently, waste water discharge may be decreased with at least 35 percent.
