Britvic was looking to support its
sustainability agenda focusing on its ‘Healthier People, Healthier Planet’ strategy, where the company is committed to creating a better tomorrow and delivering timely responses to the health and environmental challenges currently faced on a global level. Britvic has fully integrated the UN Sustainable Development Goals into this strategy and aligned objectives and targets with these goals. It was important to Britvic to select a supplier that not only supports this ambition but also lives and breathes these goals. Grundfos with its own ambition of contributing to UN’s Sustainable Development Goals SDG #6 Clean Water and Sanitation, and SDG #13 Climate Action, was the perfect match. “Improving our cooling system means that the chilled beverage water supplied to production stays cooler, resulting in faster production and higher output. “Specifically, we were looking at acquiring a pumping solution that helps us meet our

sustainability goals by reducing wastewater and energy usage, resulting in a reduced carbon footprint and improved water efficiency,” says Calvin Winch, engineer, Operations Development GB&I, Britvic..
THE SITUATION Water is essential to Britvic’s production processes and used widely throughout its value chain. An element of this includes the heating and cooling of water at its factory in Rugby – a process that provides the opportunity to explore alternative ways to manage Britvic’s water use and protect this vital resource.
“Because we have an excellent working relationship with Britvic, simply spending time on site working with their staff meant we were able to identify possible production improvements. This made it possible for us to advise Britvic and work with them towards an optimised, tailored solution,” says Mark Bennett, national business development
manager, End User Industry, Grundfos. “For a system upgrade I highly recommend our advanced digital offering Grundfos iSOLUTIONS, which utilises intelligent pumps, cloud connectivity and digital services. Together they enable real-time monitoring, remote control, fault prediction and system optimisation to help meet the level of performance needed in a demanding manufacturing site.”
Grundfos performed an Energy Check Advanced to measure the actual energy use in the system. This is not simply a ‘nameplate’ check of efficiency; sensors are placed in the system to get the live data from the existing setup, helping operators find potential energy savings in their pumps.
The proven and validated measurements help Britvic support its ‘Healthier People, Healthier Planet’ strategy and the focus on energy and carbon emissions reduction using science-based Scope 1-3 targets to attain a sustainable supply chain.
