SUEZ switches over 200 sites to Castle Water for expert trade effluent and wastewater support

Wastewater management for complex industrial operations

SUEZ Recycling and Recovery UK, a major player in sustainable waste and resource management, partnered with Castle Water to consolidate its water and wastewater services across more than 200 sites.

With a large, multi-site footprint and high-volume discharge, SUEZ faced the same challenges as many energy and fuel businesses – including managing trade effluent compliance, monitoring wastewater quality, and ensuring billing accuracy. Castle Waterโ€™s expertise in industrial wastewater and trade effluent helped deliver a smooth transition and long-term cost savings.

Expert water support for the energy lifecycle

Castle Water provides end-to-end support for water use and wastewater management across the entire energy value chain. Whether youโ€™re generating power, refining fuel, or maintaining grid resilience, we understand the critical role water plays in safety, efficiency, and environmental compliance.

Our sector-specific knowledge covers a wide range of technologies, infrastructure, and regulatory contexts โ€” helping energy operators reduce risk, meet discharge requirements, and maintain uninterrupted operations across complex, high-demand sites.

Power generation

We support water and wastewater management in CHP, fossil fuel, hydroelectric, and nuclear facilities.

Renewables and storage

Our services extend to solar farms, wind farms, battery storage installations, and biomass plants.

Fuel and distribution

We work with petroleum and diesel operators across refining, blending, depots, forecourts, and road haulage networks.

Resilience and recovery

We help ensure operational continuity through backup systems, emergency generation, and energy-from-waste facilities.

Understand your responsibilities

Energy sites often involve high volumes of water use, complex infrastructure, and significant environmental risk. As a result, operators are subject to a wide range of regulatory obligations under legislation such as the Environmental Permitting Regulations (England and Wales), the Water Environment (Controlled Activities) Regulations (Scotland), and the Water Industry Act 1991. Governing bodies such as the Environment Agency, SEPA, and Natural Resources Wales oversee these rules, which cover everything from water abstraction to wastewater discharge.

Castle Water supports energy providers in meeting their legal responsibilities around trade effluent – helping ensure the safe and compliant discharge of cooling, cleaning, or process water. We also help manage surface water and runoff, particularly in environments where hydrocarbons, oils, or chemicals pose a pollution risk. Groundwater protection is a further priority, especially for facilities operating within Source Protection Zones or near sensitive watercourses.

Emergency planning is another critical area of compliance. From ensuring continuity of water supply to putting robust spill response procedures in place, we help organisations strengthen their operational resilience.

Whether you need support with abstraction licensing, discharge consent, trade effluent monitoring, or emergency supply planning, Castle Waterโ€™s expertise makes regulatory compliance simpler, safer, and more cost-effective.
