What Evides Industriewater does

Evides Industriewater B.V. is a Dutch industrial water services provider and wholly-owned subsidiary of Evides Waterbedrijf, headquartered in Rotterdam. The company supplies industrial process water (including ultra-pure demineralized water), wastewater treatment (aerobic and anaerobic, the latter producing biogas), water reuse solutions, and heating/cooling water to large industrial clients across Northwestern Europe. Its customer base spans chemicals and petrochemicals (BASF Antwerpen, Dow Stade, Yara Sluiskil, Huntsman), food processing (Lamb Weston/Meijer), hydrogen and energy (Shell, Avantium), and datacenters, steel, and agriculture. Operations are delivered through a network of wholly-owned subsidiaries in the Netherlands, UK, Germany, and Belgium, as well as joint ventures with regional Dutch water utilities (North Water, Evilim, NH-Water) and a majority interest in the Delfluent consortium operating two of Europe's largest wastewater treatment plants.

The company's revenue model is primarily a long-term "Water-as-a-Service" subscription under DBFO contracts (Design, Build, Finance, Operate), where Evides finances, owns, and operates dedicated water installations on customer sites, plus shared commodity systems serving multiple clients per industrial cluster, managed services (Operations Plus), and mobile reverse-osmosis rentals. Technologies include reverse osmosis, demineralization, aerobic and anaerobic biological treatment, modular containerized units, and the recently extended "Water voor waterstof" (water-for-hydrogen) line supplying demiwater feed for green hydrogen electrolysis. New infrastructure projects include the Botlek process water plant (operation Q4 2026, co-financed by the European Investment Bank) and the Duurzame Watervoorziening Delfzijl (DWD) opened June 2026 by the North Water JV. Approximately 200+ staff support operations; total water handled across the group was 109 million m³ in 2023.

Scale indicators7 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights6 records

Broad incumbents

• Veolia Water Technologies & Solutions: Veolia is the world's largest environmental services group with a substantial industrial water treatment and DBFO business serving chemicals, energy, and food customers globally. Comparable in offering industrial water-as-a-service, membrane/RO, and wastewater treatment, but operates at vastly larger scale and across broader geographies than Evides.
• Ecolab (Nalco Water): Global leader in water, hygiene, and energy technologies serving industrial customers including chemicals, food, and energy with process water treatment and digital monitoring. Comparable customer verticals, but Ecolab is a far larger diversified chemicals/services major with water as one of several segments.
• Xylem: Global water technology company with significant industrial water, wastewater, and metering businesses serving utilities and industry. Comparable in industrial water and wastewater treatment, though Xylem is more equipment-and-technology oriented while Evides is more of an asset operator.
• Kurita Water Industries: Japanese industrial water and chemicals company providing process water, ultrapure water, and wastewater treatment to chemicals, electronics, and power customers. Comparable in offering ultrapure/demiwater to industrial clients, particularly relevant given Evides' focus on hydrogen feedwater requiring similar purity levels.
• Pentair: Global water treatment and flow control company with industrial and residential segments, including membrane systems and process water treatment. More equipment-and-component focused than Evides' full-service DBFO model, but operates in overlapping customer verticals.

Direct peers

• Waterleau: Belgian-headquartered water technology company providing process water, wastewater treatment, and water reuse solutions for industrial clients including food, chemicals, and energy. Highly comparable in business model, customer verticals, and European footprint, with similar focus on circular water and DBFO-style contracts.
• Nijhuis Industries: Dutch industrial water and wastewater treatment company providing mobile water solutions, process water systems, and treatment plants to industrial clients across food, chemicals, and energy. Direct competitor with overlapping customer segments and comparable mobile/containerized RO capabilities (vs. Evides' Mobile Solutions).
• H2O Innovation: Canadian-based water treatment company providing membrane filtration, process water, and wastewater solutions to industrial and municipal customers across North America and Europe. Comparable in offering engineered systems and aftermarket services, though smaller scale and more equipment-led than Evides' operator-led DBFO model.
• Aquatech: Global industrial water technology company specializing in desalination, reuse, and process water for power, chemicals, refining, and hydrogen. Particularly relevant as a comparable for hydrogen-related water supply and reuse offerings where Evides is positioning (Shell, Avantium).
• Paques Environmental Technologies: Dutch company specializing in biological wastewater treatment, including anaerobic technology that produces biogas from industrial wastewater. Direct technology overlap with Evides' anaerobic wastewater treatment offering, though Paques is more of a technology licensor than a DBFO operator.
