Sustainable water management for

Recycling & Reuse

WATER TECHNOLOGIES
Industrial wastewater,
a valuable resource
In most industries, such as Microelectronics, Pulp & Paper, Power, Food & Beverage and Oil
& Gas, the high volumes of water used during the overall manufacturing process represent
a significant expense. Drawing upon its worldwide experience in industrial water cycle
management, Veolia has developed standard solu�ons for water recycling and reuse.

Water quality for reuse and recycling

While the quality requirements vary for the different uses, there are general commonali�es across most plants
for industrial water, cooling water, process water and boiler feed water.

Applica�on for reuse

Common quality issues Pollutants to be removed and/or controlled
and recycling
Dissolved solid content, iron and manganese
Industrial water TSS, Fe, Mn
content
Corrosion, biological growth and scaling,
Cooling make-up water BOD, TSS, Turbidity, silica, pathogens, legionella
disinfec�on in case of aerosol risk
Thermal exchange limita�on, steam Dissolved solids, hardness, alkalinity,
Boiler make-up water
quality reduc�on, scaling, corrosion conduc�vity
pH, solids, silica, dissolved solids and chloride, As appropriate to the applica�on: pH control,
