Constraints on water resources are forcing us to review our consumption and production models.\nThe reuse of water in industry, combined with a reduction in usage, offers a solution for securing and resilient production, while minimizing the impact on water resources.\nA pioneering and committed player, Ovive has been putting its expertise and technologies at the service of manufacturers for circular water management for almost 10 years.

Reusing treated wastewater, a circular economy process<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Reut, quesako?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Industry is not only a water-hungry sector, but also a major producer of wastewater of various types: process water, cleaning water, technical water, and even domestic water from washrooms, restaurants and offices.\nEach of these categories is loaded with specific pollutants: organic matter, metals, suspended solids, various chemical products, etc. The Reuse of Treated Wastewater (REUT) consists in reusing this treated effluent for circular uses within the production site (washing, boiler, etc.) in order to reduce pollutant discharges into the natural environment and freshwater withdrawals. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why REUT?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\n

Climate change, with its increased droughts, and changes in our water consumption patterns, combined with population growth, are putting pressure on water resources and prompting us to rethink our water management models.\nThe aim is to ensure sustainable, rational access to water for all.\nThe reuse of treated wastewater reduces the need for freshwater abstraction.\nThis solution can contribute to achieving water abstraction reduction targets (-10% of water abstracted by 2030, Plan Eau 2030 France).\nWater reuse systems enable production sites to become more resilient and self-sufficient in water, thus compensating for future periods of drought that could limit production. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Regulations are evolving to promote water reuse, while establishing a strict regulatory framework to protect the environment and public health.\nOvive can help you comply with these strict standards and obligations.\nSince the beginning of 2024, regulations governing REUT for the food industry have become more flexible, enabling a wider range of possible uses (to find out more: REUT decree for the food industry (2024-33 24\/01\/2024)). <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

The advantages of reusing treated wastewater<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The reuse of treated wastewater offers numerous advantages for industry.\nFirstly, it enables significant savings to be made on drinking water, which is essential in a context of dwindling water resources.\nSecondly, it reduces the flow of pollutants into watercourses, thereby limiting pollution risks and environmental impacts.\nThe treatment and filtration systems used in REUT guarantee optimum quality of the treated water, ensuring its safety for various industrial and sanitary uses. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
