Rainwater Harvesting For Commercial Applications

Re-using rainwater isn't just a concept that is useful and beneficial for residential applications

, it can also be extremely helpful for commercial businesses, and can save companies many thousands of pounds per year on water usage costs. SCP Environmental Ltd provides rainwater harvesting systems to both residential and commercial customers, and is rekindling the idea of re-using and recycling rainwater throughout the UK. Businesses who are using rain harvesting systems currently are already reaping the benefits of saving the environment and saving money at the same time.

A commercial rainwater harvesting system is likely to be a lot larger and more sophisticated than the average household rain harvesting set up. This is because the roof area of an average business premises is bigger than an average house, so the scope of rainwater harvesting is also larger. More rain collection pipes will be needed, and larger and possibly more pumps will be needed to get the recycled rainwater to where it needs to go. Larger consumption of water by commercial and manufacturing businesses also means that underground storage tanks are generally larger, and a commercial system can even incorporate multiple storage tanks depending on how much water is needed. Like residential systems, a commercial rainwater harvesting setup is likely to have a mains water top up facility for times when rainfall is low, and as a backup in case extra water is needed.

Companies and businesses that use water extensively, such as those in manufacturing, will be able to use rainwater harvesting to significantly reduce water costs. Saving mains water in some cases can halve the annual expenditure on water, in other cases even bigger savings can be found, especially if water is used as part of a process, such as cleaning or cooling. An efficient rain harvesting system can easily pay for itself in only a year or two, and as any business owner will know looking to the future for long-term savings is essential for survival.

Apart from underground storage tanks being larger and more numerous, the main differences you will see on commercial systems compared to residential rainwater harvesting setups will be, larger filters and the facility to collect water from multiple sources. Because businesses are likely to have more than one building, it's possible to harvest rain from more than one roof or collection point in order to maximise water collection and improve efficiency. Any business looking to save money and therefore increase their bottom line profit should consider rainwater harvesting.
