Evides Industry Water, Source of Knowledge
Evides Industry Water (part of drinking water company Evides NV, The Netherlands) is a leading European supplier of water services to the industry. These services range from production and supply of process water, demineralised water and distilled water all the way to wastewater treatment and effluent reuse. All plants are built and operated by Evides’ highly efficient and knowledgeable specialists on the basis of so-called DBFO (design, build, finance and operate) contracts.
Process water is produced in centrally located plants (commodity) as well as customized plants at or near the production site of the client. Evides uses state of the art technologies (filtration, integrated membrane technology, ion exchange) to convert various water qualities into the required process water quality. Its 20-year track record of reliability and excellence in performance and technological innovation as well as proximity to Europe’s leading port and chemical areas (Hamburg, Rotterdam, Vlissingen and Antwerp) have gained Evides contracts with major petrochemical and chemical companies such as Dow Chemical, Shell, BP, Total, ExxonMobil, AKZO, DSM and Cargill.
In addition to process water plants, Evides Industry Water also possesses and manages various industrial end domestic wastewater plants. Evides Industry Water owns and operates two sewage treatment plants near The Hague (49,000 m3/hr), two of the biggest treatment plants in The Netherlands. Evides also owns and operates wastewater treatment plants at Schiphol International Airport of Amsterdam and in chemical parks such as Vlissingen (Total refinery) and Delfzijl..
Wastewater treatment is an important link in the water chain: by reusing the effluent of a wastewater treatment plant for the production of process water, the use of fresh water can be reduced. Evides designed, engineered, constructed and operates Holland’s biggest effluent reuse plant (4 million m3 per year). Treated effluent of a sewage treatment plant of the city of Terneuzen is treated to demineralised water quality by means of a reversed osmosis plant. The demineralised water is supplied to a nearby Dow Chemical facility. The reuse water treatment plant is part of one of the biggest integrated water treatment facilities in Europe, which are all owned and operated by Evides. They treat a multitude of water sources (including river water, fresh water, industrial effluent, municipal effluent and condensates) to produce a portfolio of water products, such as cooling water, demineralised water and polished water. A truly integrated water solution to quench industry’s thirst!
