Title: Guidelines for Estimating Unmetered Industrial Water Use

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/1016454· OSTI ID:1016454

The document provides a methodology to estimate unmetered industrial water use for evaporative cooling systems, steam generating boiler systems, batch process applications, and wash systems. For each category standard mathematical relationships are summarized and provided in a single resource to assist Federal agencies in developing an initial estimate of their industrial water use. The approach incorporates industry norms, general rules of thumb, and industry survey information to provide methodologies for each section.
