Introduction to the UK Water Industry
The UK Water Industry: Thinking Globally, Acting Locally The UK is home to a highly successful water industry – and one that is ready to respond to global opportunities. Offering cutting edge products and technologies, as well as internationally renowned consultancy, the UK’s adaptable and innovative solutions can help to address any water-related challenge, whatever it may be in the world. Served by over 500 companies, employing nearly 80,000 people, the UK’s water and wastewater sector generates revenue of approximately £8 billion ($10.25 billion) each year, £3 billion ($3.25 billion) of it generated from overseas. The UK water industry draws on decades of experience in developing integrated water resource management solutions and techniques. Its 20 water utilities invest nearly £6 billion ($7.5 billion) in assets each year and more than £5.25 billion ($6.75 billion) in services. Approximately 400 specialist engineering consultancies generate revenues of £2 billion ($2.6 billion) annually. The UK’s academic and corporate research institutes are internationally renowned for their work on water. Each year, the UK Government spends around £110 million ($141 million) on water research and innovation through its research councils. There are also a range of research, testing and demonstration facilities both in the public and private sector. The UK’s Department for International Trade has brought a number of Great Britain’s most innovative water and wastewater companies to the UK Pavilion at WEFTEC 2017. We invite you to meet these world-class companies and learn more about what they can offer you.

NVP Energy Michael Murray Managing Director 2 Kings Hill Avenue, Kings Hill, West Malling Kent, ME19 4AQ, UK Tel: +44 (0)289 592 2009 Email: michael.murray@nvpenergy.com Web: www.nvpenergy.com NVP Energy has developed a unique, energy positive, carbon-neutral wastewater treatment technology that treats low strength wastewater whilst producing a high-quality biogas by-product that is 100% available for reuse on-site, while achieving considerable cost savings. This highly efficient and sustainable wastewater treatment solution meets the treatment needs of industrial food and drink producers and public utilities. The company’s technology delivers significantly reduced treatment costs and a faster return on investment for customers in the global food and drink industry and for municipal wastewater treatment plant operators. NVP Energy’s wastewater treatment technology removes wastewater pollutants (COD and TSS) while reducing energy costs by as much as 90% and reduces sludge production by 90% when compared to activated sludge treatment installations. The technology enables major cost savings, in comparison to alternative wastewater treatment methods through significantly lower operating costs and onsite utilization of the high-quality biogas produced in the process. NVP Energy provides a professional, end-to-end service covering all aspects of the project, from calculating the feasibility of the installation, to ensuring a detailed handover and training as well as providing an aftercare service tailored to meet clients’ individual needs. The company’s sophisticated solution can be integrated easily with existing infrastructure or can be deployed as part of a new build wastewater treatment plant to meet the needs and requirements of almost any site. NVP Energy understands that wastewater treatment is not a part of most clients’ core business which is why we aim to minimize the amount of time spent on-site to avoid disruption to clients’ daily operations.
