Where are we now with Extreme Weather?

At Veolia Water Technologies we are here to support water companies make positive change. We have collected our most recent blogs to help ensure that you are up to date.

Blog 1:

Our first blog addresses the mounting pressure on water companies to reduce sewage spills, especially in the face of increasing extreme weather events. With new EU-wide legislative changes aimed at improving water quality, there has never been a better time to innovate wastewater systems. Research from 2023 highlights that only 42% of Europe’s freshwater bodies meet good ecological standards, with issues like agricultural run-off, industrial pollution, and combined sewer overflows (CSOs) being key contributors. While CSOs receive more attention in the UK, the EU's poor freshwater quality has led to new regulations requiring municipal facilities to exceed current targets and reduce reliance on CSOs. Our blog explores advanced solutions such as the Hubgrade real-time control system, the ACTIFLO® clarification technology, and the AnoxKaldnes™ biological treatment. These innovations offer opportunities for wastewater facilities to proactively manage assets, optimise effluent treatment, and meet regulatory requirements, ultimately helping to futureproof the industry.

Our second blog touches on the solutions to tackle CSOs. We speak with our expert Louis Larsen who discusses Hubgrade, a digital solution developed by Veolia Water Technologies. It highlights the challenges faced by industrial facilities in meeting stringent environmental regulations and achieving sustainable operations. Hubgrade addresses these challenges by combining advanced monitoring, data analysis, and process control capabilities.

Our third blog highlights three key reasons for industrial facilities to adopt digital twin technology in their operations. Digital twins are virtual representations of physical assets or processes, enabling real-time monitoring, simulation, and optimisation. Digital twin technology is a powerful tool to achieve operational excellence, sustainability goals, and competitive advantage. It enables data-driven decision-making, predictive maintenance, process optimisation, and efficient resource utilisation, ultimately leading to improved profitability and reduced environmental impact.
