Sugar beet plant cuts water use at Taber facility
Rogers Sugar reports at its Taber Alberta beet plant that new recovery and conservation equipment could save 35 million litres of fresh water annually. The 2023 sustainability report notes measures to capture condensation recycle cooling water and fix leaks reducing taber plant use by about 35 000 cubic metres versus the company’s eight plants totaling 30 million cubic metres. The firm acknowledges water supply risk at the southern Alberta operation and its regional growers as potentially elevated this year while committing to ongoing water recycling and conservation efforts.
