Thames Water purchases a first Orege solution to help
reduce carbon emissions and improve its environmental
footprint
Following successful trials in March 2021 and
4 months of hire at the Harpenden wastewater treatment plant,
Thames Water has purchased a first Orege solution for sludge
treatment.
Thames Water is the largest water utility
company in the UK and provides drinking water to nearly ten million
consumers and sewage treatment to fifteen million people in London
and the Thames Valley.
Thames Water is recognised globally for its long
commitment to be more sustainable in all areas of business and for
being ready to take on pioneering and innovative projects and
embrace new technology. In April 2019, the organisation pledged to
achieve net-zero carbon emissions by 2030, underlining its
commitment to mitigate climate change. In 2020 Thames Water
recorded its best-ever sustainability survey score (Global Real
Estate Sustainability Benchmark for Infrastructure) retaining its
top five-star status and putting it in the top 10% of participating
global infrastructure firms.
The adoption of Orege technology by an
undisputed leader in the sector allows Orege not only to take a new
step in its commercial development in the United Kingdom, but also
to gain new recognition for its technology on a global level.
The Orege solution, which will be implemented in
October, contributes around € 260,000 to 2021 sales revenues.
In addition to implementation at Harpenden,
Thames Water has identified a number of sites where Orege solutions
could be implemented including the use of mobile units on sites
where no existing sludge thickening system exists.
Lee Jeffrey, Bioresources Production Planning
Manager for Thames Water commented:
“The work at Harpenden clearly demonstrated the
benefit of Orege’s thickening technology to Thames Water allowing
us to reduce tanker volumes by up to 70% benefiting the local
residents and providing a sustainable reduction in our operational
carbon footprint as we work towards Net Zero by 2030. The new Orege
equipment is immediately available to use as a plug-and-play
package and we are excited about strategic implementation of Orege
solutions in other regions of Thames Water.”
Pascal Gendrot, CEO of Orege,
commented:
“The adoption of our technology by world
renowned Thames Water is further proof of its effectiveness and an
exciting step for our UK team. I am convinced that this purchase of
a first solution will be a key turning point for Orege’s
development in the UK. We are very excited about exploring all the
strategic avenues for implementing our solutions in the Thames
Water group.”
