Automotive industry : reduction of water withdrawal and recycling of industrial wastewater

SENSE, a subsidiary of VEOLIA, manages the environmental services of PSA-Peugeot Citroen plant in eastern France.
The site of Peugeot in Sochaux must reduce the water withdrawal and effluent discharges in the environment.

VEOLIA and ECA conducted a comprehensive audit of the water cycle on the entire site. The diagnosis has focused on water conditioning plants, manufacturing units users, and facilities for industrial effluent treatment.
Mapping and modeling the water cycle helped to define the optimization areas for production of industrial water, operation of waste water treatment units, and to simulate recycling opportunities.
The results of the preliminary study were the basis for pilote test and technical definition of treatment and recycling facilities for 1 million m3.
