ABB India turns its Nelamangala Campus ‘water positive’

By OEM Update Editorial January 20, 2022 1:59 pm

Total annual rainwater harvesting potential of more than 200 million liters and the campus has achieved close to 85 percent water recyclability.

ABB India announced that its Nelamangala unit has received a ‘Water Positive’ certification from The Energy and Resources Institute (TERI). In place of simply replacing the amount of water taken from the environment, the unit implemented an Innovative 6R approach towards ‘Water Positivity’ to replenish more water than it consumes at the location.

The unique 6R approach includes initiatives such as rainwater use and recharge, reduction in the use of freshwater, water recycling, and real-time monitoring of water consumption, recharge, and saving. The Nelamangala unit currently has 17 rainwater recharge wells, 2 recharge ponds along with 5 cross wave technology-based recharge tanks. ABB products such as water flow meters were installed in the rainwater recharge system to capture real-time data.
