Why opt for wastewater reuse?
Water resources are becoming increasingly scarce, and so are the environmental constraints associated with them. Against this backdrop reuse of treated wastewateror REUT, is becoming a strategic response for industrial companies. This approach, aimed at ensuring sustainable and reasoned access to water, is part of a structured regulatory framework, consolidated by the decree of March 10, 2020 and reinforced by two new decrees published in 2024.
Why integrate a WASP project into your strategy? What steps need to be taken? What treatment technologies can achieve the required levels? Ovive tells you all about this solution!
A circular solution
The reuse of industrial wastewater involves collecting, treating and then re-injecting treated water for certain non-drinking uses: cleaning equipment, boiler feed, irrigation, etc. This circular economy model limits the use of drinking water, reduces discharges andimproves the site’s water footprint.
Against a backdrop of recurrent droughts and restrictions on water use, more and more industrial sites are aiming to secure their production by recovering their treated water. This makes reuse a real solution, as well as a powerful argument in a CSR policy.
A precise regulatory framework
With the publication of the decree on the reuse of wastewater and the 2024 decrees, REUT is now governed by strict requirements on water quality, health risk management and administrative authorizations.
The water to be reused must undergo rigorous treatment, adapted to its final use: pre-treatment, filtration, disinfection, demineralization, etc. The project is also subject to prefectoral authorization, on the basis of a file justifying the control of risks.
Anticipate and structure your WASTE project with Ovive
Implement a wastewater reuse project requires a global approach: qualification of target uses, identification of available sources, modeling of potential water savings, design of a suitable and efficient treatment system…
As a specialist in industrial water treatment for over 25 years, Ovive works with manufacturers in all sectors throughout France to design tailor-made solutions, integrating the reuse of treated water as part of a global performance approach. Whether upgrading an existing plant, adding treatment stages or managing the entire reuse project, our technical teams mobilize the technologies best suited to the constraints of each site.
Ovive is involved right from the feasibility phase, assisting manufacturers in the technical, regulatory and economic development of their project. Our expertise enables us tooptimize every stage, from process selection to site security and plant automation. Thanks to our in-depth knowledge of the regulatory framework, we can also ensure that your installations comply with current standards.
