Construction is underway on an advanced plant that
will reduce the amount of groundwater extracted
for Fonterra’s Darfield manufacturing site by around
70%. Head of global operations Robert Spurway
says Darfield is already a world-leading facility and
the $11 million investment in water processing
technology will have a significant impact on its
environmental footprint. “We’ll save the equivalent
of around 100 tanker loads of water every day,”
he says. “As well as reducing water use, the new
technology also decreases the amount of water
the site discharges for irrigation. It’s a win-win
situation.” The new plant uses a reverse osmosis
technique to purify the water extracted from cow’s
milk during the manufacturing process. Water
is passed through a membrane filtration system
which makes it drinkable and suitable for use in a
range of onsite activities such as cooling, heating
and cleaning. The Darfield development aligns
with Fonterra’s six water commitments to help

improve the quality of New Zealand’s waterways.
“We’re prioritising investment to reduce water
consumption. Last year we announced our 2020
target to reduce the amount of water we use across
our 26 New Zealand manufacturing sites by 20%,”
Spurway says. “The new plant will go a significant
way towards helping us achieve our target, creating
a manufacturing site that’s more self-sufficient.”
The new plant will be operational by October this
year, in time for the 2018/2019 milk season.
