How they heard about us
They have been a Culligan Customer for 15 years.
Situation/Problem
Cadbury Adams uses a couple hundred gallons of water per day. They had high salt usage, and
large amounts of brine discharge to the sanitary systems. Brine is highly salty and contains heavy
metal and organic contaminants - not environment-friendly.
Solution
Cadbury Adams is concerned about environmental issues and voluntarily makes improvements
wherever they can.
We showed them how we could integrate brine reclaim and save them significant money on salt
usage. There would be less brine going down the drain and they would be helping the environment
as well.
