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.

The Benefits of outsourcing water management

More than 300 companies from a wide range of industries have entrusted us with all or part of their water cycle management.

Industrial customers benefit from Veolia Water's committed approach in providing a service which had previously been managed internally. Industrial clients choose to outsource water services for strategic reasons. They can trust us to:

produce water required for various uses

treat wastewater and sludge

recycle certain treated effluent

manage all stages of the water cycle

This enabes industrial customers to concentrate on their core activities while at the same time benefiting from guaranteed technical and financial results and compliance with environmental regulations.
