What are Veolia Water Technologies’ goals for the next two years?

The past few years have presented many challenges for Veolia Water Technologies, with a market that has been rapidly changing, and we ourselves also need to change and adapt.

As Veolia Water Technologies, our wealth is obviously made of our technologies and we will keep capitalizing on them, improving them and developing new ones. We want to simplify our portfolio of technologies, making them available faster and at a more competitive price point. We are also looking into digitalization of some of our standard equipment.

Another key point for us is to further develop our bundled services, including our mobile water services, traceability for specific regulations, digital functions, etc. There is a strong demand for these types of services and we want to better capitalize on that through our local teams.

We are still relying on our strong design and engineering capabilities to secure some big design-and-build contracts, for instance for desalination plants in the Middle East,

municipal water and wastewater treatment plants in Europe, Africa and Asia, and industrial projects in North and South America.

What are some factors you see impacting the water technology market in the coming years?

Over the next twenty years, the middle classes will grow from one to three billion people. By 2050, it is expected that 70% of the world population will live in an urban environment. This could mean up to double the amount of people living in towns and cities around the world, straining local resources and concentrating pollution and waste.

Climate change is causing a more frequent number of natural disasters that are taking an ever heavier human and material toll. 2015 set a series of record temperatures: on a global scale, according to recent reports from NASA and the UN, the average temperatures in 2015 have been the highest ever recorded on the earth’s surface.

These factors will cause unprecedented pressure on water sources and other natural resources. Successfully facing these challenges will require innovations and a new way of thinking, working and consuming.

We are being forced to call traditional concepts into question.

The current mobilization of all stakeholders on the crucial issue of climate change is unprecedented. This context is a great opportunity to invent together a more responsible and less carbon-intensive economy, advocating for a new use of resources. The fight against climate change can be a source of value creation.

We hear a lot about the circular economy; why is it so important to include water in it, and why has it not really been considered as a vital part in the past?

As I said, demand for raw materials, including water, is exploding as a result of demographic growth, rising living standards and climate change. As we are all aware, we cannot endlessly draw on the natural environment – a number of shortages are already making themselves felt and the growth model based on linear consumption (extract-use-throw away) has reached its limits.

Scarcity of raw materials, scarcity of water, carbon footprint: these are huge challenges facing our world today. The management of environmental issues is becoming increasingly important and complex

in both rapidly developing and developed countries.

Access to water is a key factor in the growth of entire economies, cities and many different industries. Today, on a worldwide scale, barely 2% of wastewater is reused: that remaining 98% of wastewater represents a valuable and readily available resource that we must tap into. Wastewater also has the tremendous advantage of being available where water is needed.

The whole point of the circular economy is to give back value to things that had lost their value which of course applies to water and wastewater. When scarcity strikes, the circular economy allows economic players not only to secure their supplies, but also to reduce their expenditure and create additional revenue. This approach does not arise exclusively from environmental concerns; for the regions, it is a factor in their development and for businesses, it is a source of competitiveness and wealth.

How can water technologies be adapted to address the issue of climate change?

We are in a period of witnessing the development of renewable energies, but some of them, such as solar energy or wind power, have one serious flaw: they only produce electricity intermittently. On the other hand, heat recovered from sewer systems delivers a permanent and continuous source of energy. This is why energy service providers are paying more and more attention to this alternative.

Methane is 80 times more damaging to the climate than CO2. Calculated over a period of 20 years, methane represents 40% of greenhouse gas emissions. However, methane can be captured and used to produce

heat and electricity, transforming this pollutant gas into green energy. Wastewater treatment activities can produce a lot of methane which can be repurposed to produce renewable energy through biogas, quickly producing positive effects.

Obviously, sludge offers a lot of potential as far as energy production goes and it is viewed more and more as a valuable resource to capitalize on rather than a waste that needs to be discarded. The latest technologies using thermal hydrolysis, for instance, concentrate the matter to be treated, reducing the volume to be heated. The end result is 20 to 40% more biogas produced than by using conventional digestion, and up to 50% more capacity for existing digesters.

We are seeing more and more self-sufficient wastewater treatment plants starting-up all around the world. With the optimization of technologies and associated services in the years to come, this trend will only accelerate and hopefully become the new normal.

Can you give some examples of corporations and collectivities which are changing the way they approach water and wastewater treatment?

Improving water management in industrial processes has become one of the major aims of a growing number of company heads. They are gradually becoming aware of the

risks of an industrial failure linked to blue gold that could seriously impact their company’s operating results.

Nestlé, for instance, has reduced its water consumption globally by one third during the past 10 years and by 50% at its plants in Mexico, even while global production has increased. Thanks to a Veolia process, the company’s Lagos de Moreno dairy plant became the first of Nestlé’s Zero Water plants, which means it no longer extracts any water from natural resources in this region of Mexico which suffers from water stress.

Antero Resources, one of the top ten producers of natural gas in the United States, is another company that is proactively addressing water consumption by using Veolia patented technologies to build a $275-million centralized water treatment facility to treat and recycle the produced water from its shale oil and gas operations. This will enable Antero to realize substantial savings while reducing its environmental footprint.

Municipalities all around the world are also taking steps to increase their resilience. Copenhagen, for instance, has installed an electronic system to make better use of existing canals and infrastructure to reduce flooding in case of heavy rain, which has reduced the amount of flooding by 80 percent.

Durban, one of the driest cities in South Africa, is managing the supply of drinking water to ensure priority is given to the city’s residents. The Durban Water Recycling plant supplies the city's industries with recycled, cost-effective water of sufficient quality to be used in manufacturing processes. 98% of the city's wastewater is now recycled and 40,000 cubic meters of additional drinking water are supplied daily to the people of Durban. �

Managing the increasing sludge volumes generated by municipal and industrial water and wastewater treatment processes is a worldwide major environmental challenge.

At Veolia Water Technologies, we see sludge not as a waste but as a potentially valuable resource. We apply our global technological leadership to help our clients extract valuable biosolids and produce agriculturally-beneficial byproducts. By converting sludge into energy, we help offset wastewater treatment plant operation costs.

In Denmark, the wastewater treatment plant of the future, the Billund BioRefinery, will convert wastewater sludge and organic waste into biogas for local consumption, organic soil improvers for agriculture, and bioplastics.

In Marquette-lez-Lille, France, the biogas is used to produce electricity and heat through cogeneration. The digested sludge is then dried and recovered to be used instead of coal in cement or power plants.

Designed to treat the sludge produced by the city’s eleven sewage treatment works, the Hong-Kong plant has to limit its impact on the environment. One of its objectives is to recycle the heat generated by incineration to supply the four furnaces.

What we can do for our industrial clients

FIBRIA, BRAZIL, PULP & PAPER

Fibria is a Brazilian forest-based company and world leader in eucalyptus pulp production. The 26-month EPC contract signed with Veolia is for Project Horizonte 2, which involves the construction, at the Três Lagoas Unit, of a second production line with an annual pulp capacity of 1.75 million tons. After the expansion, whose start up is expected in the fourth quarter of 2017, the Mato Grosso do Sul unit will reach full annual production capacity of 3.05 million tons of pulp. As a result, Fibria’s total annual pulp production capacity, considering

all of its units, will increase from the current 5.3 million tons to over 7 million tons.

Veolia will design and build three water treatment units using cutting-edge, patented Veolia processes. The first unit will use reverse osmosis and condensate polishing to produce 16,600 m3/d of demineralized water to supply the boilers. The second unit will feature the Actiflo® high rate clarification process combined with TGV filters to treat 185,000 m3/d of raw water before it is used in the

pulp production process. Finally, the effluents from the pulp plant will go to a third unit where the AnoxKaldnes™ BAS™ process will be used to treat 166,000 m3/d of wastewater. This last unit will be designed by Veolia business unit Aquaflow who is specialized in effluent treatment for the pulp & paper industry.

The opening of the three treatment units is schedule for the fourth quarter of 2017. �

SHELL, QATAR, OIL & GAS

The Pearl GTL project, located in north-east Qatar, comprise ofs the development of upstream gas production facilities as well as an onshore Gas-to-Liquid (GTL) plant that produces 140,000 barrels per day (bpd) of GTL products as well as approximately 120,000 bpd of associated condensate and liquefied petroleum gas.

Shell wanted a Zero Liquid Discharge (ZLD) facility, not only with respect to the GTL effluent water, but all other water streams had to stay inside the fence. In total, twelve

different water streams were to be treated, entering the effluent treatment plant at eight different locations. Five different recycled water qualities were required.

Due to the size of the operation and the water scarcity in the region, Qatar Petroleum and Shell opted for a sustainable water management solution (ZLD) with the water produced in the transition from gas to liquid being led to an effluent treatment plant, where it is treated and reused in the production process. The effluent treatment

plant has a capacity to handle 45,000m3/day.

Veolia designed and completed the effluent treatment plant. Wastewater will be treated by ultrafiltration and reverse osmosis, to be reused within the factory process. Thus, no liquid effluent will be discharged into the natural environment. Reverse osmosis brine treatment will be carried out by evaporation and crystallization, a technology achieving zero liquid discharge where only salt crystals are produced. �

Many industrial wastes are loaded with high levels of cyanide, mercury, salts, selenium, radioactive material or refractory COD (Chemical Oxygen Demand).

Veolia Water Technologies' number one objective is to continuously improve on pollution control and removal, so that the waste discharged into the environment fully conforms to local legislation and standards, wherever this may be in the world.

Furthermore, Veolia offers innovative solutions to transform these residues into resources; for example, ammonium is transformed into fertilizer, saline effluents into irrigation water.

In Beijing, China, for the oil major Sinopec, we installed two Actiflo® Carb units, for refractory COD removal, as a tertiary step on the existing industrial wastewater treatment plants. The use of Actiflocarb™ our client to meet the new standard requirements, which is world's most stringent regulations on COD discharge, set at 30 mg/l of COD.

On 2011, an earthquake and a tsunami damaged the Fukushima nuclear plant. The decontamination system was constructed in a record-short time of two months. The system reduces the water radioactivity level by a factor of 10,000 and can treat up to 50 tons of contaminated waters per hour.

Antero Resources, West Virginia (USA)Specializing in shale oil & gas, Antero Resources has awarded Veolia Water Technologies a contract to design and build the water treatment and recycling plant. Planned to enter service at the end of 2017, the future plant will eventually treat and recycle around 9,500 m3/day of produced water. It will use exclusive Veolia technology, including AnoxKaldnes™ MBBR (Moving Bed Biofilm Reactor), Actiflo® clarification and the CoLD™ Process, which are particularly innovative in the area of water treatment for reuse. Recycling the produced water from shale oil & gas production will enable Antero to make substantial savings, estimated at around $150,000 per well, as well as reduce risk and cost associated with long-distance hauling of water for deep-well injection.

URANEX™

The solution to reduce uranium in drinking waterAccording to the current World Health Organization (WHO) directive, the uranium content of drinking water should be less than 9 µg/l. With the URANEX™ process, this target value can be safely met.

In Germany for example, uranium occurs in undisturbed ground and surface waters as chemical compounds, such as carbonate and sulphate, in concentrations of less than 1 to more than 100 µg per litre. In some cases the WHO target value of less than 9 µg/l can be met only by treating the water by a suitable process.

PERFORMANCES

� Highly selective process

� Very low residual uranium content in the effluent

� No change in water composition

� Combinable with existing treatment processes

� Easily adaptable to varying water qualities

� Simple, automatable technology

� Ease of operation

� Low operating cost
