Water conservation at Delta Air Lines: significant water and wastewater reduction

Abstract

Delta Air Lines’ Technical Operation Center (TechOps) and Environmental Services Department have partnered with the Pollution Prevention Assistance Division on a project to reduce water usage in TechOps’ Plating Shop. Since implementation, this partnership has reduced the water usage in this Plating Shop by approximately 50 percent (37,000 gal/day) and has resulted in substantial cost savings.
