What we do

  • In Energy
    The transformation, use, control and recovery of energy in chemical plants is one of the highest spending areas. Veolia ‘s specific value propositions include the following with a view to overall reduction and optimisation.
    Thermal energy - (heating, distillation, concentration, washing, drying, etc)
    Process chilling - reaction control, preservation, drying air or materials, vapour condensation
    Compressed air - for material transfer, pneumatic operations and control.
    Electricity - machines and system operation, Instrumentation and control.
     
  • ​In Water
    The use of water is ubiquitous throughout a typical chemical plant upstream as a medium for chemical solutions or as a process fluid for thermal transfer or steam production and downstream in cleaning, dilutions and effluent. We have expertise to manage the full water cycle from laboratory water supply to water minimising strategies internally and final effluent discharge to the environment.
     
  • Waste
    Transforming hazardous waste streams into alternative fuel supplies, feeding back into the circular economy and enabling clients to maintain a more sustainable production process offering total waste management solutions tailored to the manufacturing environment and sustainability targets.
