The Expertise Gap in Industrial Cooling

In the complex world of industrial cooling, facilities are facing a growing expertise deficit. Without specialised knowledge and without a thorough understanding of the subtleties of these systems, cooling systems operate below their optimal efficiency. This situation results in a significant waste of resources, whether it is energy, water or refrigerant fluids, and considerably increases the risks of breakdowns likely to interrupt production processes and lead to considerable financial losses.

Many organisations struggle to navigate the challenges of optimal, profitable, and sustainable management within the increasing complexity of modern cooling water treatment. They face questions such as: how to reduce the use of chemicals without compromising performance? What is the best water or energy strategy to achieve sustainability goals? How can we optimise our systems without compromising regulatory compliance?

These challenges require more than just technical solutions – they demand expert guidance from professionals who understand both traditional cooling system technologies and operations and modern sustainability requirements.

This is where our Cooling Horizon 2030 approach makes sense. This is where our specialised cooling water treatment and sustainable value delivery experts make the difference. With decades of combined experience and a deep understanding of industrial cooling challenges, our teams go beyond the design of a chemical treatment and provide the knowledge and guidance needed to transform cooling operations while generating water, energy, CO2 and cost savings. Through technical and environmental assessments, comprehensive audits, regulatory knowledge, customised strategies with quantification of the benefits expected, as well as ongoing support, we commit to a value generation programme with our clients, hence building a long-term partnership focused on both operational excellence and sustainability goals.

The Recognised Expertise of Veolia's Teams

Our specialised teams bring decades of experience in water treatment chemistry and cooling system optimisation, as well as recognised and in-depth knowledge of the technical, regulatory, and operational specificities of each industry sector. This allows them to work closely with clients and design comprehensive treatment programmes – products, digital tools, services – that will ensure regulatory compliance, equipment integrity, and maximum efficiency while minimising environmental impacts.

Multiple Evaluation and Analysis Capabilities

From technical studies to specialised audits, from on-site multi-controls to chemical and microbiological analyses and risk assessments (environmental, regulatory, economic), our specialists meticulously examine every aspect of your cooling systems. By combining our experience with the power of monitoring and digital intelligence, we ensure continuous management and interpretation of a maximum volume of data. This allows us to identify our clients' problems, develop the best treatment strategies and ensure their continuous optimisation, with a constant commitment: to maintain operational excellence and uncompromising sustainability.

Comprehensive Water Cycle Audits

Beyond a cooling-focused audit, we can broaden our assessment to a comprehensive water cycle audit. From the plant's water intake to production processes, utilities, and discharge, our teams map all water-related aspects, including management. This structured methodology allows for the identification of risks and potential savings, and for the definition of a roadmap for complete cycle optimisation (including reuse strategies), with a quantification of impacts and a focus on water, OPEX, and CO2 savings.
