The Power of Water
Water is one of the most precious resources on our planet. More than 4,000 billion cubic meters of water are consumed annually worldwide, of which industry is responsible for 20%. At the same time, up to 60% of water is unnecessarily lost in many processes. Governments and industries worldwide face enormous water management and sustainability challenges. Aging infrastructure, pollution and the impact of climate change require smart, innovative solutions. Time is running out: we need to use water more efficiently and sustainably.
With Bilfinger Water Solution, we take a smarter approach. We combine expertise, shared knowledge and leading technologies to optimize water management at every stage of the asset lifecycle. We help companies reduce their footprint, improve sustainability and optimize operational processes. With more than 140 years of industry experience and a global network of specialists, we focus on three core areas: drinking water companies, water boards and industrial water treatment.
Drinking water companies
The security of supply of drinking water is under pressure due to climate change and pollution, such as PFAS and microplastics. It is expected that there will be a shortage of drinking water in more and more parts of Europe in the short term. This has major consequences for society and industry. In Europe, Bilfinger Water Solution helps to preserve and optimize assets, from source to delivery, to guarantee clean drinking water also in the future.
Water boards
Water boards play a key role in achieving water quality goals, dry feet and the water transition. In Europe, only 40% of surface water meets the desired quality requirements. That is why there is an important task to protect our surface water and to prevent discharges and minimize pollution. Bilfinger supports with expertise and optimizing assets to address these challenges.
Industrial Water Treatment
Industries need to conserve water, prevent pollution and commit to reuse and efficiency. Bilfinger helps companies save 20% water, implement advanced water treatment facilities and actively work on resource recovery and water balance optimization.
