Veolia Water - in partnership with industries

Water is a utility of primary importance for all sectors of industry.

Used as drinking water, boiler water, process water, cooling water, wash water, to protect against fire and to treat effluent, this resource alone can account for 15% of investment costs.

Thanks to a skills network which is both international and local, Veolia Water provides in more than 60 countries:

• customized technical solutions for the design, build and operation of facilities, networks or plants required to manage industrial water;

• a wide range of customized services, tailored to every different requirement;

• the expertise of local suppliers, backed up by an international network of researchers and experts;

• a multidisciplinary expertise in different types of contracts including the financial and legal aspects as well as in labour relations.

Water - a key factor in industrial production

Water is a utility of primary importance for industry. For example, you need:

• 140 to 200 of water to produce 1 kWh of electricity;

• 5 to 15 liters of water to wash a microchip;

• approx. 8,000 liters of water to build a car;

• 11,000 liters of water to produce 1 metric ton of steel;

• 4 to 8 liters of water to produce 1 liter of beer.

Water management therefore has a notable impact on the financial performance of the company and its development. By optimizing the management of this raw material, Veolia Water is making water a source of value creation.

"Clean" manufacturing

Respecting the environment is an obligation for everyone today. Veolia Water is commited to this and works alongside professionals from industry.

Veolia Water anticipates changes in regulations to enable industrial customers to comply with their environmental obligations and use the best technical and financial solutions, from supplying components to taking responsibility for the entire water management cycle.

Controlling costs for industrial customers

Often not accurately identified, because they are considered to be inevitable or of secondary importance, costs linked to water production or treatment can be precisiely controlled using quantitative and qualitative water cycle management.

Veolia Water makes an in-depth assessment to work out where productivity gains can be made - operating conditions for the facilities, human resources, energy costs of treating the water - and comes up with exactly the right strategy for the industrial customer.
