As a major consumer of water in its processes, industry is faced with the demanding choice of efficiency, reliability and quality. Today, the reprocessing of water for industrial use is the subject of innovative solutions capable of integrating the challenges (water shortages, upstream pollution), the uses and the specific features of each industrial site.

 

Producing more while reducing environmental impact

Water treatment for industrial use, which is associated with discharge volumes, is faced with a dual constraint: reconciling increased activity with reduced environmental impact (drawing less on local resources). An increase in production is inevitably accompanied by greater volumes of waste, which are subject both to regulations and to the limits of the treatment capacity of wastewater treatment plants.

Not to mention the fact that recycling wastewater means being able to discharge additional volumes while guaranteeing water quality that is free from the slightest risk of contamination for employees and the environment (soil, watercourses, etc.).

Water treatment: traditional in-door or turnkey containers

How do you get the highest possible yield and high-quality re-treated water for industrial use at the same time? How can you maintain the maximum productivity of the installation between incoming m3 and outgoingm3? Based on the technical use of recycled water, the reprocessing of short-loop process water or WWTP (wastewater treatment plant) water offers a solution that meets the challenges of a responsible economy. The system incorporates a complete filtration system to purify, hygienize and soften the water, ensuring that there is no risk to employees working on the installations.

Available as a traditional assembly unit within industrial plants, wastewater recycling is now also offered as a turnkey solution: assembled in a container, the "mobile wastewater treatment plant" is designed to meet the specific needs and constraints of each industrial site in terms of ergonomics, process control and plant maintenance. Thanks to its location close to utilities and customised sizing, this turnkey solution is capable of absorbing growth in activity. The water reprocessing container is mobile and flexible, and can be used to discharge additional volumes in the event of a production peak, or to avoid the water stress associated with heatwaves and occasional shortages. The containerised solution, in the form of a pilot project, also makes it possible to test water recycling on an industrial scale, and to anticipate costs, before committing to installation.

Reusing volumes and adding value to production

Wastewater is still an under-exploited resource. However, reprocessing it is an integral part of recycling initiatives that are part of a circular approach, the key to sustainable management of water resources. Industrial sites must seek to optimise their processes, and even more so when they operate in a 'sensitive' water basin.

By implementing innovative treatments, recycling water for industrial use not only makes it possible to envisage the reuse of overall volumes of water consumption, but also to develop new products or by-products, sometimes even exceeding the required standards.
