focus on your core business with SUEZs
long-term water services agreement
SUEZ offers long-term, full-service contracts with
Build-Own-Operate (BOO) contracts, designed to put you in
control of your business by allowing SUEZ to assist you with
your plants daily water operations. SUEZ makes a life cycle
commitment with BOO to ensure that the required quantity
and quality of product water is delivered to your treated
water tank or process. SUEZ provides this assurance by
drawing on deep expertise and reliability as a manufacturer
of equipment and chemical technologies used in hundreds
of SUEZ BOO projects globally. With flexible durations and
robust proven technologies, SUEZ ensures that the quantity
and quality of water needed is safely and reliably delivered.
A SUEZ BOO also provides customers with additional
assurance. If for some reason the BOO is not able to deliver
the results needed, SUEZ will use the worlds largest
mobile fleet to ensure contract compliance. This assurance
essentially gives our customers the benefit of on-site plant
redundancy without the associated costs and complexities.
SUEZ currently owns and operates hundreds of industrial
and municipal plants processing more than 60,000 m3/hr
(360 MGD) of water or wastewater around the world. Focused
in the power/steam generation, refining, chemical processing,
steel, microelectronics, desalination, and pulp and paper
industries, SUEZ provides operations and maintenance
services for customers with water processing needs ranging
from 10-20,000 m3/hr (44-88,000 gpm). SUEZ also has the
ability to process water from nearly any source, including
rivers, boreholes/wells, lakes, seas, waste, and industrial
processes. We treat these sources to produce water for boiler
feed, semi-conductor manufacture, food process, drinking
purposes, industrial processes, and other applications.
SUEZ employs numerous field service representatives
(FSRs) globally. These hands-on technical experts provide
local service and support. SUEZ can provide a dedicated
service technician at every customer site. We ensure our
commitment to exceeding the highest EHS standards and
to the successful worry-free operation of your plant.
owning vs. outsourcingthe benefits of
a BOO service contract
SUEZ offers a host of options designed to assist you with
your water treatment goals. Choosing a BOO service contract
means that you are free to focus on your companys core
activities and are better able to utilize business capital. If your
business could benefit from long-term reliability, predictable
economics, and an optimized water treatment system, a
BOO service and maintenance agreement could be a great
solution for you. With a BOO contract, you are in control
of your contract termanywhere from one to 20 years.
When compared to the traditional approach to water
treatment systems, BOO just makes sense. In the traditional
approach, you invest capital in non-revenue producing
assets. Since you have merely purchased the water treatment
equipment, you also have the responsibility of developing a
conceptual design, paying for site audits, hiring an EPC firm,
issuing RFPs, evaluating bids, installing the equipment, and
operating and maintaining it. You assume all risk for budget
over-runs, schedule delays, operational upsets, maintenance,
and variable feedwater.
Normally, you receive a one- or two-year warranty that
is on materials and workmanship only. With a BOO
contract, you save capital to invest in revenue producing
assets; and SUEZ helps you meet your business
objectives through a performance-based service
contract at a predetermined pricewithout any of the
drawbacks associated with the traditional approach.
Let SUEZ specify, design, and install the equipment
for your new project. At the same time, we can replace
outdated equipment in your existing plant, improve
your operating expense by process upgrade, or help
you increase your plants production capacity. With a
BOO contract, you not only get the system design and
support you need, you will also have SUEZs expertise in
equipment, chemicals, consumables, maintenance, and
service to ensure your plants treated water quality and
quantity. With minimal capital investment, predictable
cash outflow timing, and hands-off operations, you
will be able to focus on growing your business, all
while transferring much of the risk to SUEZ.

here are a few of our success stories

PowerUnited States
Challenge: A U.S. power producer needed to reduce
hazardous chemicals required for ion exchange
regeneration at nine sites, and replace an aging
demineralizer system with limited capital investment.
Solution: A 200-400 gpm (45-91 m3/h)
system to produce
demineralized water was used for boiler makeup utilizing
pretreatment, reverse osmosis, electrodeionization, and
mixed beds regenerated at a SUEZ Service Center.
Results: A 15-year BOO that reduces operating costs and
improves technical performance.
RefiningUnited Kingdom
Challenge: A new bioethanol refinery needed a clean
water supply because city water expansion was not
available.
RefiningPhilippines
Challenge: The refinery needed to replace its hot lime
softener for environmental reasonsthe system was
overproducing sludge.
Solution: A 500,000 GPD (79 m3/hr) containerized system
was used.
Results: A 10-year BOO that replaced the hot lime system
softener and meets environmental compliance.
Water Reclamation and ReuseMiddle East
Challenge: There was an insufficient quantity of water for
irrigation and human consumption.
Solution: SUEZ purified 100 MGD (378,500 m3/d) of
wastewater to be used for irrigation so that the limited
fresh water could be used for drinking.

Solution: 247 gpm (56 m3/hr) of lagoon condensate was Results: A 30-year BOO that provides an alternate water
reprocessed using SUEZs ZeeWeed 500 ultrafiltration source for irrigation, reserving the fresh water supply for
membrane. human consumption.

Results: A 14-year BOO that provides the refinery with an

alternate clean water source.
