Reuse of Municipal Water
FromAquaplus NV
The use of conventional water resources for industrial processes is or may become restricted by ever-increasing costs, permit requirements and seasonal changes in availability. The use of effluent reclaimed from sewage treatment plants, offers an effective and workable alternative. Nowadays, this practice is applied in thousands of locations in Europe and overseas. Eleven companies in Flanders already chose this water source. Treated wastewater has many potential uses. In industry, it can be used for a gamma of applications ranging from simple rinsing and washing options, to cooling water makeup, or manufacturing processes, to ultra-pure water in high-tech processing.

Why consider the use of effluent reclaimd from sewage treatment plants ?
-
If there are sewage treatment facilities located in or close to your industrial estates, the unit cost for distributing treated effluent is very attractive. Only the marginal costs related to water reuse are charged (e.g. the distribution costs and those for effluent polishing, should it be required).
-
Aquafin’s 220 WWTP’s produce rather constant- and high-quality water, with low levels of organics, suspended solids, and nutrients (nitrogen and phosphorus).
-
The plants are manned and fully automated.
-
Seasonal fluctuations e.g. in temperature are lower than for surface water.
-
Improved ecological imago.
