Sewage treatment turns waste into a resource

Modern sewage treatment systems help to turn our day to day waste into a resource for industry, agriculture and manufacturing, which makes choosing the right technology company essential to overall infrastructure success.

Whether upgrading sewage to “grey water” status for use in industrial processes that don't require drinking-quality water, or extracting valuable substances from the recovered sludge to generate electricity, Veolia offers every technology, service and knowledge necessary to help ensure maximum return from your investment in a sewage treatment.

Sewage treatment improves environmental performance

Before it can be discharged to the environment – into groundwater systems, oceans and dams – municipal sewage needs to meet legislated discharge standards. This means all potentially hazardous chemicals, biology and other pollutants need to be removed by means of a sewage treatment process.

As a global water treatment company, Veolia has experience and technologies that enable this water to not only meet these environmental standards, but surpass them - while maintaining a plant's viability in terms of capital and operating expenditure.
