The Challenge
Industrial water management and reuse in the Middle East face challenges due to water scarcity, high demand, water quality issues, infrastructure limitations, regulatory gaps, and energy consumption.
Limited freshwater resources, pollution from industrial activities, inadequate infrastructure, weak regulations, and energy-intensive treatment processes hinder effective water management. Addressing these challenges requires water conservation, investment in efficient technologies, promotion of reuse practices, and strengthening regulatory frameworks. Collaborative efforts among governments, industries, and stakeholders are essential to improve industrial water management and ensure sustainable water use in the region.

Digital Water Management Solutions
Digital Water Management Solutions: Veolia's digital water management platforms enable real-time monitoring, data analysis, and optimization of industrial water systems, enhancing operational efficiency, resource utilization, and decision-making processes.
Advanced Water Treatment Technologies
Advanced Water Treatment Technologies: Veolia offers state-of-the-art water treatment technologies, including membrane filtration, biological treatment, and chemical processes, to address diverse industrial water quality challenges effectively and sustainably.
Zero Liquid Discharge (ZLD)
Zero Liquid Discharge (ZLD) facilities are advanced water treatment systems that eliminate liquid waste discharge by converting wastewater into clean water for reuse and solid waste for disposal.
These facilities employ multiple treatment stages including filtration, reverse osmosis, and evaporation, recovering up to 95% of wastewater while minimizing environmental impact and reducing freshwater consumption. While requiring high initial investment, ZLD systems offer long-term benefits through regulatory compliance, valuable mineral recovery, and reduced operational costs.
Smart monitoring and control systems
Smart monitoring and control systems in Middle East industrial water management utilize IoT sensors, real-time data analytics, and automation to optimize water usage and treatment.
These systems provide continuous monitoring of water quality parameters, flow rates, and equipment performance, enabling immediate detection of issues, predictive maintenance, and efficient resource allocation. The technology includes remote monitoring capabilities, automated dosing systems, leak detection, energy consumption tracking, and comprehensive data reporting.
Treated wastewater reuse has increased significantly worldwide, especially in arid regions, with over 40 million cubic meters recycled daily.
This approach enhances water availability during droughts, reduces environmental discharge, and serves various non-domestic purposes including irrigation, industrial uses, and aquifer replenishment. Veolia recycles wastewater from sewage plants after appropriate treatment. The level of treatment depends on the quality required for each type of recycled wastewater use.
We develop, produce, build and operate the widest possible range of water treatment processes, offering the best technical solution for local needs. Solutions include advanced clarification, bio-treatment, filtration, membrane techniques (microfiltration, ultrafiltration, nanofiltration, and reverse osmosis), ultraviolet disinfection, activated carbon treatment using sand or gravel, ozone disinfection and industrial wastewater recovery installations.
