Water conservation in industry: A case study of Glaxo Smith Kline Limited (Rajamundhry)

This presentation describes the work of Glaxo Smith Kline Limited Rajamundhry, in conserving water and reducing its water consumption in its industrial processes, through initiatives such as putting in end hose control systems into use, replacing raw water points with treated ones, providing push type taps in toilets, installing leak/spill control clamps, rationalising wash points, mechanising tray cleaning, optimising water pressure, improving condensate recovery, introducing sprinkler/drip irrigation for its gardens, rainwater harvesting, wastewater treatment and more.

As a result of these initiatives, the total water consumption was reduced by 30-40% in a space of 3-4 years.

This work won the CII-GBC National Award (Within the Fence Category) for Excellence in Water Management in 2008.
