As prevalent water users and market leaders, Associated British Ports Limited are continuously seeking ways in which to adopt best practice water efficiency, to encompass their sustainable development policy and meet requirements for reduced water consumption costs.

"In the current climate, most businesses have identical objectives: efficiency, lower costs and improved environmental performance. With the AquaVitae data logger systems, ABP have seen a change from the traditional position, awaiting water company invoices, to the proactive position of having online accurate data available.

As a result, we have been able to evaluate demand charges and identify abnormal water consumption through leakages in the water network. We have saved 280,000m3 per year, by comparing our consumption in 2003 to 2006. We have thereby seen the cost reduction we had anticipated and effectively transformed our efficiency."
