Pentair Water Italy:

The plant in Pisa becomes 100% green.

Thanks to the creation of a sophisticated photovoltaic system located on the roof of the building, the Pentair Water plant in Pisa has become the first plant able to produce 100% of the energy needed for productive activities.
4100 solar panels that generate up to 1,280,000 kWh each year have been installed on a surface of 11,000 m2.
One of the greatest advantages includes a reduction of CO2 emissions equal to 678 Tonne/year.
Our customers are assured that the products coming from the PentairWater plant in Pisa are completely made by using renewable energy.
The remarkable results achieved by the installation of the solar panelsare visible in real time on the various screens located within the plant.However, this is not the only "green" initiative takenby Pentair Water.

In fact, each activity carried out within the plant inPisa is continuously improved aiming at the utmost energy savings and minimumenvironmental impact.

Amongst these, the most significant include:

 

 

Reduction of plastic waste

Water purifiers have been installed throughout theplant with the consequent elimination of the use of plastic bottles.

Waste separation

All employees abide by the rules of careful recycling. In fact, containers for the disposal of any type of materials (cardboard; plastic; iron; aluminium; wood; generic waste) are positioned throughout the plant.

Elimination of the varnishing process

The internal phase of the varnishing of products has been eliminated. Besides having a large impact on the environment, the varnishing process involved the disposal of barrels and other polluting materials. Today, the plant in Pisa assembles components that are already varnished by specialized external companies.

Improvement of the resin process

Great improvements in terms of workers' health and the environmental impact have been achieved with the introduction of a modern process for the resining of motors:

  • Reduction of pollutants
  • Reduction of toxic substances
  • Shortening of the manufacturing process
  • Improvement of the conditions of the workers

  • Maximum environmental friendliness
  • Maximum energy savings
  • Better safety conditions for workers
  • Maximum respect for health
