New challenges. New ways of thinking. With ever increasing sustainability, regulatory and financial pressures, now is the time to ‘Rethink Water’, says Veolia Water Technologies. The Circular Economy initiatives operated by WRAP (Waste and Resources Action Programme) have achieved water reductions in many industries so what more can you do in 2017? Rethinking water with Veolia can open up a wide range of opportunities to manage your water more efficiently, reduce consumption, turn a cost into a revenue stream or just save money. With mains water costing approximately £1.50 per m3 and sewer discharge costing double that, every cubic metre of water that is recycled or reused can generate cost savings of around £4.50. Veolia’s range of packaged water and waste to recovery treatment technologies are cost effective. They include biological membrane processes capable of treating high COD wastewaters, such as those produced in beverage manufacturing, to better-than- potable quality for recycling for boiler make-up or cleaning-in-place, with the added advantage of biogas generation as a renewable energy source. Recalcitrant wastewaters can be concentrated by evaporation to reduce volumes for off- site disposal while recovering condensate for boiler or cooling tower make-up and raw materials for recycling. High recovery RO systems can produce high quality water from a range of wastewaters including primary RO reject minimising discharges to sewer. In fact, Veolia Technologies says it can help any industry to ‘Rethink Water’ as a valuable raw material. Veolia has produced a white paper ‘Ensuring Stability and Resilience in Sustainable Water Technologies’ to help users to identify opportunities and online Reco Solutions calculators to show the financial savings able to be made. Independent water consultancy Waterscan has secured a Water Supply and Sewerage Licence (WSSL) to bring a new water procurement approach to the marketplace. The company’s pioneering ‘self-supply’ service will give non-household customers complete control over their water consumption and cost; enable greater savings by paying direct wholesale costs, ensure billing accuracy at source and, as a market participant, influence the marketplace – all with Waterscan’s full and independent support. Neil Pendle (pictured), managing director at Waterscan, said: “Our focus remains, as always, to drive innovative ways to reduce our clients’ water consumption and costs. Holding a WSSL will support us in maximising the many opportunities that the open market presents for our clients while ensuring that we continue to provide the most complete, independent water consultancy service in the UK. Being able to offer self-supply, in addition to our existing procurement service, strengthens our ability to deliver our core values - save water, save cost and create value throughout the supply chain.” With this inventive new service, Waterscan will have unprecedented real-time market intelligence to use for its customers’ benefit. By cleverly integrating its existing comprehensive Waterline© software system with the Central Market Operating System (CMOS), the company says it now has the unique capability to supply and receive accurate client data and to interrogate wider market data to drive savings. Furthermore, it can offer a genuine national service which will package up services across England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, creating efficiencies across all multi-site operations. Importantly, focusing on supporting clients with its self-supply or procurement tendering services, the company’s independent, customer- focused approach is retained. The implementation of strict confidentiality controls that have been approved by Ofwat further reinforce this position. These will see the formation of separate departments, ensuring that tender information is only accessible to clients and their assigned Waterscan procurement team. www.waterscan.com For more information visit: www.veolia.com For more information visit: 26 BREWING & BEVERAGE INDUSTRIES BUSINESS Rethink water – manage carefully to maximise benefits Pioneering self-supply service launched News HYGIENE & RESOURCES 26_Layout 1 12/02/2017 09:58 Page 1
