Optimise your industrial water use: from audit to treatment plant<\/h1>\n

Figures from the European Environment Agency reveal that about 20% of European territory and one-third of Europeans face water stress every year. We are also increasingly feeling the impact of water scarcity in Flanders. Not only ecologically, but also financially.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

At the moment, water is still inexpensive. But what does the future hold for drinking water, cooling water and process water, etc.? Elements that form the backbone of your industrial production. Industry currently consumes about 300 million m\u00b3 of water a year. This accounts for about 40 per cent of water use in Flanders. All the more reason for a forward-thinking company like yours to adopt a strategic approach to your water management. You can rely on us for integrated water advice and concrete solutions.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Every drop counts and serves a purpose<\/h2>\n

Want to reduce water scarcity and operational risks? Start at the beginning: with a clear analysis of your entire water resources management. We conduct a water<\/strong> audit to objectively map all water flows at your site: from process water, surface water and wastewater to rainwater, groundwater and drinking water. Our approach is independent of technology suppliers.<\/p>\n

You get clear insights and achievable optimisations for your entire water cycle.<\/strong> Examples include reusing effluent or constituent flows, rainwater recovery, cooling or rinsing water reuse, optimisation of chemical dosing, sludge treatment and emission reduction or process intensification in case of lack of space.<\/p>\n

It provides a great many benefits.<\/strong> You lower your water consumption, reduce water discharge and increase your chances of obtaining an environmental permit. At the same time, you save energy and make your production more robust, even during dry periods. Those that anticipate water-critical processes and mitigate risks get more favourable financial ratings and a positive ESG profile. Because companies that adopt a mindful approach to water rate higher with investors, stakeholders and governments.<\/p>\n

Legislation calls for strategic water management<\/h3>\n

Legislators are also pushing hard for more sustainable water use. The European Industrial Emissions Directive (2010\/75\/EU)<\/strong> compels companies to reduce the environmental impact of their industrial facilities. And the recently revised Urban Wastewater Directive, through Extended Producer Responsibility <\/strong>(UPV), places part of the treatment burden on industry. Specifically, it means you will have to absorb additional treatment costs related to, for example, micropollutants. There will also be more thorough monitoring of the spread of PFAS and other forever chemicals. In Flanders, the legislation is translated into VLAREM regulations, among others.<\/p>\n

From water audit to customised water treatment<\/h3>\n

Besides water audits, troubleshooting and strategic advice, we guide you through the entire process: from vision to implementation. You can count on us for:<\/p>\n
