In 2022, SUEZ has generated revenues of 8.8 billion euros*.
Alexandria East Since 2012, SUEZ and its partner, Arab Contractors, have been responsible for the operation and maintenance of the wastewater treatment plant east of Alexandria. This station covers the needs of half the city.
In 2022, the Group was responsible for the extension of the station with the installation of a sludge treatment line, with 4 digesters of 16,000 m3 each, which reduce the volume of sludge produced and generate 65% of the energy required for the operation of the station, i.e. nearly 6 MWh of electricity.
Key figures
– 4,5 million inhabitants served
– 800,000 m3 of wastewater treatment capacity per day
– 6MHz of electricity produced
Since 2014, SERAMM, a dedicated company and subsidiary of SUEZ, has been managing wastewater treatment in five communes of the Aix Marseille Provence Metropolis (Allauch, Carnoux-en-Provence, Marseille, Septèmes-les-Vallons and the Gémenos industrial zone). Its mission is to treat the region’s wastewater to protect the health of its inhabitants and preserve their environment. The Géolide wastewater treatment plant, buried beneath the Stade Vélodrome and designed for 1.8 million inhabitants, treats 70 million m3 per year. Since January 2019, the biogas resulting from the sludge digestion process has been purified and transformed into “biomethane”, then odorized and controlled before being injected into the public natural gas network. A total of 2,500 homes are heated using this resource derived from wastewater.
Key figures
– 1 million inhabitants served by public wastewater systems
– 2,000 km of networks (combined, storm and sanitary)
– 17 communes connected to the GEOLIDE wastewater treatment plant
SUEZ, in collaboration with partner Pizzarotti of Parma, has completely renovated the CUMA plant in Naples. The Group has been operating the plant since 2017, generating a very positive impact on water and the coastal environment thanks to innovative technologies.
Achievements:
– Improved effluent quality
– Biogas production from sludge and 25% reduction in energy consumption thanks to cogeneration
– 80% reduction in sludge elimination thanks to digestion and drying
Key figures
– 1,200,000 inhabitants served
– 209,385 m3/day average capacity
– 7,500 tons/year sludge produced and eliminated
