Advanced Water Recycling
Water is one of the world’s most valuable resources. Yet it is under constant threat due to climate change and resulting drought, explosive population growth, and waste. GE’s Water & Process Technologies team is aware that a global water crisis exists today and is working to address it.
At GE, we are committed to addressing major water challenges through wastewater reclamation, treatment and recycling to help industry and communities prosper.
GE has a broad portfolio of water treatment, wastewater treatment, and process systems solutions that help our customers solve their complex challenges. Visit our customer solutions portal here.
How it works
Overview
One of the most promising efforts to stem the global water crisis is industrial and municipal water recycling – the reuse of treated wastewater for beneficial purposes such as agricultural and landscape irrigation, industrial processes, toilet flushing, or replenishing a groundwater basin (referred to as groundwater recharge).
-
GE uses proven, reliable technologies to provide new sources of water and create a sustainable supply of water of the future.
-
This creative approach to water recycling allows forward-thinking industrial leaders to save money, generate new revenue sources, and help the environment.
-
Recycling water reduces the nutrient loads from wastewater discharges into waterways, which in turn reduces and prevents pollution.
-
Water recycling allows communities to become less dependent on groundwater and surface water sources, and can decrease the diversion of water from sensitive ecosystems.
Features & Benefits
-
Increase profits, meet regulatory requirements and protect the environment while turning wastewater into resource
