Water Conservation

  • Report leaks immediately: Quick action prevents water loss and potential damage. Report damage to the KTG.
  • Avoid single-pass cooling: Replace with closed-loop or recirculating systems for condensers and distillations.
  • Turn off taps promptly: Even brief idle flow wastes considerable amounts of water.
  • Upgrade efficiently: Use mixing nozzles and check internally whether replacing outdated autoclaves is possible. If necessary, contact the climate protection manager.
  • Shut off unused lines: Always close faucets and water connections when finished.
  • Rethink cooling systems: Identify equipment that still uses single-pass cooling (e.g., ice machines, microscopes) and explore more sustainable alternatives.
  • Maintain regularly: Inspect filters, hoses, and valves to ensure all systems run efficiently and are repaired promptly.
