Insights from Veolia Water Technologies
Cost-effective water
solutions
Veolia Water Technologies specializes in water treatment solutions
and provides the complete range of services required to design, build,
maintain and upgrade water and wastewater treatment facilities for
industrial clients and public authorities. We help cities and industries to
manage, optimize and recycle water.
Our portfolio of technologies features everything from state-of-the-art water and

wastewater treatment technologies to evaporation and crystallization, energy-
producing sludge treatment, desalination plants, and mobile water services. These
innovative technologies maximize energy production and product recovery, allowing
our clients to extract raw materials and capitalize on valuable byproducts. What is
discarded by some becomes a resource for others.
We develop access to these resources through standardized technologies, state-of-the-

art customized solutions and water reuse techniques. By optimizing both treatment
processes and technologies, we help our clients reduce their water footprint while
generating considerable savings in energy and chemical consumption.
Veolia is furthermore the only company in the world that can combine all that expertise,
process knowledge and our existing digital solutions into one comprehensive digital
service package, Aquavista™, which supports and enhances the operation of industrial
as well as municipal installations.
This magazine highlights a number of articles about our technologies and solutions
including some of our references in North America, and I hope you will find it an
interesting read.

STRUVIA™
Sustainable recycling of phosphorus from wastewater
Phosphorus is a key ingredient in the fertilizers used in agriculture and for animal feed. STRUVIA™ allows for
phosphorous to be recovered as struvite crystals from the effluents produced by industrial, agricultural and
municipal activities. This opens the way to a local reuse of phosphorus, especially in agriculture.
