Sažetak
Water is the essence of life, as well as an important raw material in many industrial processes. Due to rapid economic development and often irresponsible behaviour of mankind towards nature, in many cases the resources of clean water have been endangered. Therefore, water management is a significant part of human prospect and welfare. From the environmental point of view, the possibility of water savings in every field of human activity is very desirable. Since the industrial sector demands huge amounts of water, it is extremely important that industry adopts a concept of various water savings possibilities. This primarily applies to those industries, where health properties of water are not the most important issue, such as the case in manufacturing of bitumen based products, construction works, concrete preparation, the use of water as cooling fluid in power-plants… In this work the study of wastewater reuse in manufacturing of bitumen based products have been studied in one production plant in the North West region of Croatia. A special focus has been put on water reuse and findings of possible solutions regarding minimisation of the amount of fresh water usage, as well as the costs of water drainage in the production cycle.
