At Veolia, we work with local authorities and public bodies across the country to deliver sustainable, compliant and cost-efficient wastewater management solutions. Our proven technologies help meet Irish and EU standards, protect waterways and support national goals for resource recovery and environmental resilience. ![Heading (6)](https://info.veoliawatertechnologies.ie/hs-fs/hubfs/Heading%20(6).jpg?width=1200&height=800&name=Heading%20(6).jpg "Heading (6)") *Water sanitation is our speciality.* On a daily basis, we provide innovative and scalable solutions to thousands of customers around the world – for the efficient and sustainable treatment of their wastewater and effluents. Our broad portfolio of patented technologies and global network of experts provide peace of mind for all municipalities subject to strict health and environmental standards. We seek to continuously improve our sanitation systems through the gathering of systematic feedback from our engineers in the field. Our sewage treatment know-how is one of the key pillars of the expertise we provide to support you to reach your sustainable development goals PRIMARY TREATMENT SECONDARY TREATMENT TERTIARY TREATMENT & REUSE SLUDGE TREATMENT & ODOUR MANAGEMENT The first stage of the water treatment process focuses on separating suspended solids (SS) from wastewater. We remove 70% to 90% of these materials through our flocculation / coagulation / settling and flotation processes – with the injection of chemical reagents depending on the degree of purification required. The secondary treatments then use advanced biological treatment methods, leveraging the ability of certain bacteria to eliminate dissolved pollutants contained in wastewater – such as carbon, nitrogen and phosphorus pollutants. These biological treatment methods are sometimes associated with the use of chemical reagents when treatment goals are high. This final stage looks to remove any remaining dissolved solids from purified water and disinfected wastewater so that the treated water can be [**reused**](https://www.veoliawatertechnologies.ie/applications/reuse) for other purposes.   The pollutants eliminated during treatment operations become [**sludge**](https://www.veoliawatertechnologies.com/en/applications/sludge-treatment), and recycling and recovering this substance is one of our specialities. To remove any unwanted [**odours**](https://www.veoliawatertechnologies.com/en/applications/odor-control), while also guaranteeing compliance with air quality regulations, we ensure polluted air extraction continuously takes place throughout the water treatment process. The extracted air is then treated appropriately before being expelled. ![Heading (17)](https://info.veoliawatertechnologies.ie/hubfs/Heading%20(17).png "Heading (17)") [📄 DISCOVER THE "PLUG & PLAY" INSTALLATION](https://info.veoliawatertechnologies.ie/hubfs/MBBR%20Brochure-1.pdf?hsLang=en-ie) ![2021-06-21.jpeg](https://info.veoliawatertechnologies.ie/hs-fs/hubfs/2021-06-21.jpeg.webp?width=1776&height=1181&name=2021-06-21.jpeg.webp "2021-06-21.jpeg") We can tailor our offering depending on your project, from installing individual engineered solutions or packaged plants to complex projects.
