Hannover Milieu- en Veiligheidstechniek

What Hannover Milieu- en Veiligheidstechniek does

Hannover Milieu- en Veiligheidstechniek B.V. (HMVT) is a Netherlands-based environmental engineering firm founded in 1990 that provides integrated in-situ remediation and treatment services across three domains: soil remediation, air and vapor treatment, and water treatment. The company serves industrial clients (refineries, petrochemical, and tank terminal operators) and public-sector clients (provincial and municipal governments) primarily in the Netherlands, Belgium, France, and wider Western Europe. HMVT operates as a multi-technology provider rather than a single-technology vendor, selecting the optimal remediation technique—biological, chemical, extractive, or thermal—for each client's specific contamination challenge.

HMVT's product portfolio centers on proprietary and partnership-backed technologies. In soil remediation the company offers ENNA, a slow-release soybean-based biological electro-donor for chlorinated hydrocarbons; FENNA, which combines ENNA with zero-valent nano-iron for chemical and biological reduction; ISCO chemical oxidation (Fenton's reagent, persulfate, permanganate); extractive methods (soil vapor extraction, air sparging, two-phase extraction); and thermal remediation delivered via the TRS Europe joint venture (Electrical Resistance Heating and Conductive Heating). In air emissions, HMVT deploys mobile CatOx units, gas scrubbers, activated carbon filters, and a pulsed cold plasma air purification unit co-developed with TU Eindhoven. The proprietary CARS system provides online remote monitoring and control across installed equipment, and a patent application has been filed for a hot-air injection method targeting Japanese Knotweed, developed with Wageningen University & Research.

HMVT generates revenue primarily through project-based engineering, construction, and remediation services for industrial and government clients, often under multi-year fixed-price contracts with performance guarantees on soil projects. A secondary revenue stream comes from renting out a fleet of mobile air and water treatment units (capacities 1-20,000 m3/hr) on short- and long-term bases, with pricing varying by capacity and duration. The company also earns fees from laboratory feasibility and pilot studies (including online quote requests for ISCO tests) and operates a newsletter subscription. HMVT is a subsidiary of Antea Group Nederland and holds 50% stakes in two joint ventures—REYMHMVT (industrial degassing with Reym) and TRS Europe (thermal remediation with US-based TRS). The company employs approximately 23 people and relocated its headquarters and workshop from Ede to Rheden in September 2025 to accommodate growth.

Core offering

Hannover Milieu- en Veiligheidstechniek designs, builds, and executes in-situ environmental remediation and treatment projects across three domains: soil remediation (biological, chemical, extractive, and thermal methods), air and vapor emissions treatment (catalytic oxidation, scrubbing, activated carbon, biofiltration), and water/wastewater treatment (classic systems, mobile plants, constructed wetlands, PFAS-specific solutions). The company provides a full-service chain from feasibility studies and pilot testing through engineering, installation, execution, monitoring, and maintenance, and rents a fleet of mobile treatment units for temporary capacity needs.

Product overview

HMVT (Hannover Milieu- en Veiligheidstechniek) is an environmental services company founded in 1990, offering integrated in-situ remediation and treatment solutions across three domains: soil remediation, air/vapor emissions treatment, and water treatment. The company operates as a multi-solution provider rather than a single-technology vendor, engineering, building, and renting installations for both temporary and permanent projects. The product portfolio centers on four core service lines: (1) Soil Remediation encompassing biological techniques (ENNA, FENNA), chemical oxidation (ISCO with Fenton's reagent, permanganate, persulfate), extractive methods (soil vapor extraction, air sparging, two-phase extraction), and thermal remediation via partnership with TRS Europe; (2) Air Emissions Treatment featuring CatOx rental units, gas scrubbing systems, activated carbon filters, and biofiltration, offered through both HMVT directly and the REYMHMVT joint venture; (3) Water Treatment including classic groundwater systems, mobile treatment plants, constructed wetlands, and specialized PFAS remediation; and (4) Test Lab & Pilots providing feasibility testing and laboratory services. The company emphasizes not being limited to one technology, selecting the optimal technique or combination for each customer's specific situation. They also offer proprietary tools including an RSX to Excel converter and zeolite-based peak shaving systems.

Broad incumbents

• Arcadis: Arcadis is a Dutch-headquartered global design and consultancy firm with a substantial environmental remediation practice serving industrial and government clients worldwide. They are comparable in environmental site investigation and remediation but at significantly larger scale and with a far broader portfolio across design, engineering, and resilience services.
• WSP: WSP is a global engineering professional services firm with extensive environmental services including site assessment and remediation. They compete with HMVT for industrial and government remediation projects across multiple geographies and have substantially broader resources, but their environmental remediation practice overlaps directly with HMVT's core offering.
• Sweco: Sweco is a European engineering consultancy (which absorbed Grontmij) with environmental services including site investigation and remediation planning. They are comparable in the environmental consulting and remediation space but operate across Northern Europe with a much broader service portfolio than HMVT's specialist contractor focus.
• Antea Group Nederland: Antea Group is HMVT's parent company and a broader environmental engineering and infrastructure consultancy operating in the Netherlands, Belgium, and France with thousands of professionals. They offer overlapping services including site investigation, remediation consulting, and water management, but at much larger scale, multiple service lines, and a corporate-consulting delivery model that contrasts with HMVT's specialist contractor model.
• Royal HaskoningDHV: Royal HaskoningDHV is a major Dutch-origin engineering consultancy with global operations and a sizable environmental and water management practice. They overlap with HMVT on industrial and government remediation work but operate across many more geographies and service lines, competing for the same large tenders but from a different scale profile.
• Stantec: Stantec is a global engineering, architecture, and environmental services firm with a substantial environmental remediation practice. They serve industrial and government markets similar to HMVT's clients, including soil and groundwater remediation, but at significantly larger scale and broader service offering.
• AECOM: AECOM is a global infrastructure consulting firm with a major environmental services practice covering site assessment, remediation, and water treatment. They are comparable in environmental services scope and target markets, but with vastly larger resources, geographic reach, and a broader engineering and design portfolio.

Direct peers

• Tauw: Tauw is a Dutch environmental consulting and engineering firm specializing in soil, water, and air quality services for industrial and government clients. They are a directly comparable Dutch environmental services peer with overlapping remediation, water treatment, and PFAS offerings and similar target customers, operating at a slightly larger size.
• TRS Group: TRS Group is a US-based specialist in thermal in-situ soil remediation using Electrical Resistance Heating (ERH) and Conductive Heating. HMVT executes European thermal projects through a 50% JV with TRS (TRS Europe), making TRS directly comparable in thermal remediation technology and scale even though they operate in a different geography.

Others

• Reym: Reym is a Dutch industrial cleaning, maintenance, and emission control company that is HMVT's 50/50 joint venture partner in REYMHMVT for industrial degassing and vapor recovery services. They are an adjacent industrial services peer rather than a direct environmental remediation competitor, but overlap with HMVT on petrochemical emission control projects.
