Regulatory pressure, rising costs, and climate urgency are converging to create a once-in-a-generation opportunity in industrial water treatment.
EU's Zero Pollution Action Plan and Industrial Emissions Directive are forcing industries to adopt advanced water treatment. PFAS restrictions alone affect thousands of facilities.
Incineration and landfill costs are increasing 10–15% annually across Europe. Our technology reduces disposal volumes by up to 97%, making the ROI case compelling.
The European industrial wastewater treatment market exceeds €15B annually, with growing demand for circular, energy-efficient solutions.
Water treatment is an underserved segment within climate tech. Investors increasingly recognise water as the next major sustainability frontier.
Our Water-as-a-Service model aligns incentives perfectly — customers avoid capital expenditure and get guaranteed results, while we build a portfolio of long-term, high-margin service contracts.
Customers pay per cubic meter treated — no upfront investment. This creates predictable, recurring revenue with long contract durations (3–5 years).
We own, install, operate, and maintain the equipment. Switching costs are high once integrated into a facility's operations.
Each unit is self-contained. Adding capacity means adding units — no complex engineering. This enables rapid geographic expansion.
Core treatment services plus specialised PFAS reception at our Halmstad facility. Both segments are growing.
Every cubic meter we treat generates both revenue and measurable environmental impact. Our technology directly addresses EU sustainability objectives — making Helios attractive to ESG-focused and impact investors.
Our atmospheric evaporation technology is fundamentally different from filter-based alternatives. No saturation, no declining performance — just consistent, high-efficiency treatment that scales.
Performance never degrades. Unlike activated carbon or ion exchange, our process cannot become exhausted.
Treats PFAS, heavy metals, oils, emulsions, and more — one system for multiple waste streams.
Uses residual heat (60–95°C) and just ~25 kWh/m³ electricity. Designed for industrial energy environments.
