Water recycling at the Nova Scotia Hospital Central Laundry

A water recycling system was installed at the Nova Scotia Hospital Central Laundry in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia in the spring of 2014. The consequent reductions in the consumption of water and steam at this facility have been measured over a 20-month period and are presented here in nominal units and as a financial analysis. Cumulative savings over this period have been calculated to be $351,567, representing a 53% annual return on investment after accounting for annual operating and maintenance costs.
