The service portfolio includes internal laboratory analyses and wastewater diagnostics, studies and pilot trials, design and construction of treatment plants, operation and maintenance, the German version of the website names Ovive GMBH, rental of mobile treatment units, and by-product management. At the core is the Water as a Service model: a customer-specific full-service offering including a treatment station, ongoing operation, compliance analyses, consumables, sludge and by-product management, without any upfront investment by the customer. Technically, a broad range of processes is employed, including micro-, ultra- and nanofiltration, reverse osmosis, coagulation and flocculation, demineralization and disinfection. The equipment fleet comprises more than 200 process containers and more than 500 tanks and filters; over 3 million m³ of wastewater is treated and valorized annually. Customer segments include energy, chemical and plastics, pharmaceutical, textile and leather, cosmetics, paper and board, food, and waste management. Ovive is represented nationwide in France with around twelve agencies.
