BUSINESS ACTIVITIES Water 50 2007 ANNUAL REPORT VEOLIA ENVIRONNEMENT Contract with Tampa Bay Water renewed and expanded Tampa Bay Water renewed its contract with Veolia Water in 2007 and, under the largest design-build-operate contract ever signed in the United States, put it in charge of extending the capacity of its surface water treatment plant from 272,500 cu.m/day to 454,200 cu.m/day. The existing Tampa Bay plant was designed and built, and is now operated, by Veolia Water under a contract won in 2000. It is one of the world’s most technologically sophisticated facilities and is the Florida regional water authority’s biggest plant. It supplies Hillsborough, Pasco and Pinellas counties and the cities of New Port Richey, St. Petersburg and Tampa, providing water of a quality far better than required by federal and state standards. The new plant will be equipped with a proven multi-barrier process train: Actifl o® ballasted fl occulation from Veolia Water Solutions & Technologies, ozonation, fi ltration through granular activated carbon gravity fi lters, disinfection, and sludge treatment. Scheduled for handover in 2010, it will be operated for thirteen years by Veolia Water.
Veolia Water is also looking at new opportunities, such as the control of rainwater runoff in increasingly dense, pavemented urban areas, which require new ways of managing water in cities. Strengthened market positions in Europe In France, the many contracts that were renewed integrated recent technical innovations in environmental protection. This was the case, for example, for the contract to operate water, wastewater and stormwater services in Mâcon and for the water services contracts for Beauvais and the Nice-Côte d’Azur joint district authority. The division consolidated its market positions in Europe, especially in Ireland, where the city of Limerick awarded it the contract to upgrade and operate the Clareville water production plant. In the United Kingdom, where it serves 3 million customers in southeast England, Veolia Water acquired several of Thames Water’s non-regulated businesses. It is also upgrading the Shell Green wastewater sludge incineration center in Widnes. In Eastern Europe, business was strengthened with two new contracts in the Czech Republic, where Veolia Water now serves more than 40% of the population. Important breakthroughs in the United States Already present in water service in Indianapolis, Veolia Water was awarded a 10-year management contract for wastewater service in the Milwaukee District (1.1 million inhabitants in 28 municipalities). The division will operate the main sewers, the pumping stations and the network of retention tunnels that control overfl ows during wet weather. It will also manage the plant that produces fertilizer by drying the wastewater sludge. In 2007, Veolia Water also won the designbuild-operate contract for the extension of Tampa Bay Water’s regional surface water treatment plant. The division also holds the biggest partnership contracts to be concluded in these fi elds in the United States, where there is very high demand for technological solutions and new infrastructure. Municipal and industrial contracts in Asia In Asia, Veolia Water is shoring up its leadership position in water. In China, following in the wake of the Lanzhou and Haikou contracts and the major Shenzhen extension, the division signed its 25th municipal contract, this time covering the 29 million residents of Tianjin. In Japan, it concluded its three fi rst public service management contracts in that country with Chiba, Hiroshima and Saitama. The management model favored by public authorities is now spreading to the industrial sector and bolstering the division’s expansion. In China, Tianjin Soda and PTTPE awarded it the construction and operation of their treatment plants, and Quingdao Soda awarded it the operation of its demineralization unit. World-recognized expertise in seawater desalination The division selected the MED (1) thermal process for the Jubail plant in Saudi Arabia (800,000 cu.m/day of desalinated water) and the reverse osmosis process for the plants it will build and operate in Campo de Dalias (Spain), Sydney (Australia) and Sur (Oman). In Fujairah (UAE), it has chosen to implement its exclusive hybrid desalination solutions, which combines the MED thermal process and the reverse osmosis process (590,000 cu.m/day). Installation of water mains in Mauritania (Sade). THE YEAR IN BRIEF... – Signifi cant advance in desalination: contracts in Marafi q, Saudi Arabia; Sydney, Australia and Campo de Dalias, Spain. – Completion of research work on Actifl o Turbo®. – Growth in northern Asia, with 25th contract in China, signed with the city of Tianjin, and three fi rst contracts for public service management in Japan. – Continued expansion in United States, with, in particular, the Milwaukee contract. – Consolidation of market positions in Europe, in particular Ireland and the United Kingdom, and high rate of contract renewals in France. – Beginning of public service management contracts in the Middle East, with the signing of several large contracts (Ajman, Sur, Marafi q and Fujairah). – Acquisition by the EBRD of 10% of the share capital of Veolia Voda (the Veolia Water subsidiary in Eastern and Central Europe), marking Veolia Water’s position as a preferred partner. (1) Multiple Eff ects Distillation. A player in sustainable development The Braunschweig wastewater plant digests sludge and food fats to produce biogas that is sent to a cogeneration plant, which uses the biogas from Braunschweig and other facilities to supply heat to a thousand households and electricity to 4,000. The digested sludge and treated wastewater are also recovered: it is sprayed on surrounding fi elds to water and fertilize them. Shortly, some of the corn and rye grown in the fi elds will be used in an anaerobic digester to obtain additional biogas. 51
