Flexible Service Contracts to Suit Operator’s Individual Needs

Veolia offers a flexible approach to industrial water and wastewater outsourcing – from traditional long-term O&M partnerships, to remote services with financial commitments to performance guarantees.

Whether you’re building a new plant or upgrading existing equipment, we can provide experienced management and labor to operate and maintain water and wastewater systems - shifting responsibility and risk to Veolia, while you retain ownership of the physical assets. Additionally our experienced operators can ensure your regulatory compliance and provide discharge permits.

By handing over responsibility of water and wastewater management to an expert third party, customers also benefit from improved levels of efficiency and uptime. This allows you to focus on core competencies, while accruing savings through our operational best practices. We can even fund equipment or system upgrades as part of the agreement.

Engaging with Veolia means you’ll have access to our digital process control management program, Hubgrade. The program combines data from the lab, field, and plant control systems in a single database – allowing for statistical analysis of plant processes and generation of key performance indicators (KPIs). Using this data, our expert teams can deliver weekly performance reports aimed at reducing costs and maximizing asset life.

Data analysis also allows us to identify potential issues before they interrupt plant operations, including electrical hotspots, abnormal machine operation or excessive vibrations.

Sustainability and Environmental Stewardship

For industrial operators across the oil and gas, power, and manufacturing sectors, sustainability and environmental stewardship is about more than simply complying with applicable regulations. It is about minimizing waste streams and transforming operations to become part of the circular economy.

Maximizing resources is a core mission for Veolia. We’re committed to helping companies achieve this by capitalizing on opportunities for byproduct, water, and wastewater recycling and/or beneficial reuse. Our global expertise benefits our customers as we address challenges with a systemic approach.

Our solutions not only maximize water reuse, but also recover valuable byproducts, divert hazardous waste, regenerate materials from waste streams, improve power conservation and cooling efficiency, and provide quantifiable results for customer’s CO2 emission reduction. Regardless of the industry, facility or process, we’ll work to implement a solution that meets your cost and operational needs, and minimizes your environmental footprint to the greatest possible extent.
