INDUSTRIAL WATER SOLUTION

Turning Water into a Strategic Asset

In an era of increasing water scarcity and tightening environmental regulations, water supply is no longer just a utility; it is a strategic asset. Our Reuse & Reclaim Water offer is a comprehensive, circular solution designed to treat and reintegrate process water back into your operations. By reducing your freshwater intake footprint, we help you secure your production against drought, rising water costs, and achieve Zero Liquid Discharge (ZLD) targets.

Water treatment, reclaim, reuse

Your water costs more than it should

Unoptimised Total Water Cycle Cost

  • Excessive freshwater consumption
  • Lack of water reclamation and reuse
  • Inconsistent supply or pressure affects production
  • Water quality impacts uptime and product quality 

Complex water systems slowing down your operations

Managing Complexity Across Your Water Systems

  • Lack of In-House Expertise
    Managing water quality, monitoring, and maintenance demands specialist knowledge that your core team may not have

  • Inconsistent Supply or Pressure
    Variations in water pressure or quality can directly impact production uptime and product quality.

  • Complex Treatment & Integration
    Each water source has a unique composition, requiring tailored treatment to ensure safe integration into production processes.

 

Struggling to meet water compliance and ESG targets

Meeting Regulatory Requirements and Sustainability Goals

  • Regulatory Compliance
    Navigating discharge and reuse standards can be complex, and non-compliance carries significant operational and regulatory risks.

  • ESG & Sustainability Gaps
    Difficulty meeting sustainability commitments and demonstrating measurable environmental impact to stakeholders.

 

CHALLENGES 

Is Your Water Resource Fully Leveraged?

Many manufacturers leave significant value untapped. Here are the barriers we help you overcome.

100 % Tailor-Made Solutions

Each system is engineered around your specific water sources, site constraints, and industry requirements, covering the entire lifecycle from design and build to operation and maintenance.

24/7 Scalable Support Model

Resources deployed based on your needs, ensuring the right level of support at all times, aligned with your operational requirements.

01 Single Point of Accountability

We manage treatment, monitoring, maintenance, and compliance so your team focuses on core operations.

OUR APPROACH

End-to-End Reclaimed Water Management, On Your Site

We embed directly in your facility, designing, operating, and continuously optimising your reclaimed water infrastructure as an extension of your team, for Greenfield and Brownfield projects.

Project Assessment

We analyze your water flows and quality to identify high-impact reuse opportunities and map your site's potential.

 

Tailored Design

Custom-designed solutions built around your water sources, site constraints, and end-use requirements, optimised for cost and performance

Operational Integration

Fast, seamless deployment and commissioning, fully integrated into your operations with minimal disruption.

Operate & Optimise

Continuous or on-demand support covering, treatment, monitoring, maintenance, and compliance, while analysing performance data -   maximising efficiency and water reuse.

 

STRATEGIC APPLICATION
Closing the Loop: Maximizing Your Water’s Value
Once treated and purified to your precise quality and volume specifications, reclaimed water is transformed into a high-value asset. It is seamlessly reinjected at multiple points across your operations, securing a continuous, self-sustaining water supply.

Zero Liquid Discharge (ZLD) 

Total Circularity, Zero Waste

For industries with the most stringent environmental requirements, Veolia can engineer and operate systems that achieve Zero Liquid Discharge, eliminating all liquid waste streams entirely. Every drop is recovered, treated, and reused. Nothing leaves your site as wastewater.

RESULTS

Case Studies

Every facility faces different challenges. See how we partner with industrial leaders to reduce freshwater reliance, target zero-discharge goals, and secure operational resilience.

 

BUSINESS MODELS 

A Model That Works for Your Business

From technical assistance to fully funded 'Water-as-a-Service' models, we provide flexible structures that align with your financial goals. Discover our O&M, DBOM, and BOT frameworks designed to secure your production without the operational burden.

Operation & Maintenance (O&M)

You own it. We run it.

Veolia takes over the operation and maintenance of your existing water system, bringing its expertise to maximise performance, reduce costs and ensure full regulatory compliance.

Design-Build-Operate (DBO)

Full lifecycle, guaranteed performance.

We design, build, and operate your system under a long-term performance contract — one single partner, one performance guarantee, total peace of mind.

Build-Operate-Transfer (BOT)

Zero capex. Asset yours at end.

We fund and build the facility, operating it until the transfer, allowing you to preserve your capital for core operations - no upfront investment required

Which industries do we serve?

Water reclaim enables industries to recycle and reuse water, reducing freshwater consumption, ensuring compliance, and boosting operational efficiency. Its applications span multiple sectors:

  • Chemical / Pharma: Cooling, cleaning, process water
  • Data Centres: Cooling water
  • Electronics / Semiconductors: Ultra-pure rinsing & cooling water
  • General Manufacturing: Boilers, cooling loops, washing
  • Oil & Gas: Process water
  • Food & Beverage: Cleaning, irrigation, process water

Reduces freshwater use, ensures compliance, and boosts efficiency.

What is Reclaimed Water?

Wastewater that has been treated and purified to a level that makes it safe for reuse in your industrial operations, rather than being discharged back into the environment, reduces dependency on freshwater and unlocks real savings. Key sources include:

  • Treated utilities water (cooling towers, boilers, condensates)
  • Treated wastewater from production and cleaning processes
  • Rainwater harvesting 

Why It Can Be Complex

Each water source has a unique composition. Tailored treatment and monitoring are required to safely reuse it without impacting your production quality or regulatory compliance.
