Your challenges
Municipalities today face increasing pressure to manage wastewater efficiently, safely, and sustainably, often with limited resources and aging infrastructure.

Outdated or overloaded wastewater infrastructure
Aging systems can’t keep up with population growth or extreme weather, leading to frequent breakdowns and inefficiencies.
High maintenance costs and limited monitoring
Without smart monitoring tools, identifying issues is reactive and expensive, increasing operational costs and service delays.
Strict environmental regulations
New laws demand advanced treatment and higher water quality, which many systems aren’t equipped to meet.
Community concerns over public health and water quality
To maintain public trust and protect both health and the environment, wastewater systems must reliably remove harmful pollutants such as PFAS, micropollutants, and nitrogen—substances that citizens rightly expect to be managed with the highest standards.

Full-Scale Ozone Installation – HDSR
Context
The Houten wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) in the Netherlands was identified as a national hotspot for medical residues in effluent. These residues pose a risk to the environment and drinking water sources, particularly the nearby ‘Lek’ Canal. To address this, water authority Hoogheemraadschap De Stichtse Rijnlanden commissioned Nijhuis Saur Industries to deliver a full-scale ozone installation for advanced treatment. The project also reflects a shift in Dutch municipal contracting toward collaborative “Construction Team” tenders for complex technologies.
Solution
Nijhuis Saur Industries, in partnership with Pannekoek GWW, Moekotte and Witteveen+Bos, designed and delivered a full-scale ozone treatment system for the Houten WWTP. The system targets the removal of pharmaceutical residues, improving effluent quality and protecting downstream water sources. The project was executed under a Construction Team tender model, enabling faster design, better risk allocation, and more accurate budgeting.
