Evides Waterbedrijf products

Purity of water is a notion in itself. Pure water conjures images of potable water of immaculate quality. Rightly so if one considers that water standards in the Netherlands are among the highest on earth. Nevertheless our efforts don’t stop short of this quality. Using technologies like membrane separation (MF/UF/RO) and ion exchange (IX) Evides Industriewater is able to supply demineralised water (demin water) to industrial clients: water of chemically very pure composition. This water has been stripped of all components that provide taste to potable water. Demineralised water is being used for the production of high-pressure steam in power plants. The steam can be used in distillation processes in the petrochemical industry. Demineralised water is also being used in the chemical industry, eventually after being reprocessed and upgraded even further.

For industrial users in parts of the Rotterdam area (Botlek and Europort) Evides Industriewater supplies distilled water to selected users by means of a dedicated, redundant pipeline network. This distilled water can serve both as boiler feedwater and process water. The total yearly supply of distilled water amounts to more than 7 million m³. This water is produced by means of evaporators (MED), which make use of residual heat released as a result of the combustion of liquid waste.

Industry water and Evides are inseparable. Evides Industriewater owns several large and medium-sized production sites of industry water, that are strategically located throughout the supply area. For the production of industry water fresh surface water of stable and reliable quality is pumped via large holding basins from the Brabantse Biesbosch to the surroundings of Rotterdam, western parts of the province of Brabant and the province of Zeeland.
