Azulatis designs, builds, finances and operates on-site water installations for large industrial water users, so they can reuse their wastewater and tap local sources instead of mains water, under a Water-as-a-Service contract.
Azulatis grew out of the industrial water branch of De Watergroep, the Flemish water company, and has operated as an independent company since 2023, building on a track record in industrial water that goes back to 2006. From its head office in Deerlijk and a satellite office in Aarschot, it serves some 50 customers in food and beverages, chemicals, agriculture, retail and logistics, healthcare and industrial production, among them AB InBev, Alpro, Cargill, Coca-Cola European Partners, Colruyt Group, Milcobel, PepsiCo and Puratos. Its offer covers custom water installations, the operation of water treatment plants, pilot and mobile units (its mobile water plant delivers up to 55 m³/h of potable-quality water at short notice), industrial pipelines and groundwater wells, and the takeover of existing installations, with leasing available. In June 2025 the listed infrastructure investor TINC took a 49% stake alongside De Watergroep to support further growth and innovation.
At its Leuven and Jupille breweries, AB InBev works with Azulatis to give its purified wastewater a second life. Ultrafiltration and reverse osmosis convert it into process water of drinking water quality, so each brewery produces about 50 m³ of water per hour. Azulatis designed, built and financed both installations and operates them.

Read the case studyRousselot's Ghent plant draws its process water from local brackish canal water, which also relieves the public water network. Azulatis treats it with coagulation, ultrafiltration, reverse osmosis and demineralising reverse osmosis to produce demineralised drinking water and process water, under a design, build, finance and operate contract.
Read the case studyPuratos Lummen, which makes ingredients for bakers, pastry chefs and chocolatiers, asked Azulatis to optimise its water management. Azulatis built the business case, then designed, built, prefinanced and now operates the new installation: it drilled a groundwater well and extended the existing treatment with a membrane bioreactor, sand filter, softener, reverse osmosis and demineralising reverse osmosis. Puratos and Azulatis presented the project together at Aquatech Amsterdam.
Read the case studyAt Coca-Cola European Partners in Ghent, Azulatis manages the existing biological wastewater treatment plant, with high-load and low-load stages, so the effluent can be safely discharged into surface water. Azulatis handles daily management and process monitoring and carries out optimisation projects.

Atrasol is a Belgian environmental engineering consultancy, founded in 2005, that helps contractors, project owners and industrial companies measure and cut the carbon footprint of their worksites and operations, recover soils and waste, and redevelop brownfield sites.
BioFiltro treats organic wastewater on site with worms and microbes. Its patented BIDA® system removes up to 99% of contaminants in four hours, avoids the methane that lagoons and sludge give off, and returns reusable water and worm castings for the soil.
Circular IT group helps organisations buy, deploy, manage and replace their laptops, servers and network equipment so each device stays in use for longer, then erases, refurbishes, resells, donates or recycles it at the end of its life. Its Kontich site near Antwerp serves customers in Belgium.
