BOOT is an infrastructure delivery model where RIEFILT finances, builds, and operates a water treatment plant on your site. After the contract period (10-15 years), full ownership transfers to you. Zero capital expenditure. Guaranteed water quality. One predictable monthly fee.
RIEFILT sources the optimal water treatment system from our manufacturer-independent network and structures the BOOT contract on your behalf. We compare 3+ manufacturers on technical merit, total cost of ownership, and service quality. You get the best technology at the best price — without being locked into a single brand. Typical sourcing phase: 4-8 weeks.
During the contract period, the selected manufacturer or operator retains ownership of the plant — not you. RIEFILT structures the deal so you carry zero risk. If equipment fails, the operator replaces it. If regulations change, the system gets upgraded. Your only obligation: a fixed monthly fee based on water volume delivered.
The system is operated by qualified personnel from RIEFILT's partner network. RIEFILT coordinates remote monitoring, preventive maintenance, and performance optimization. 24/7 support, guaranteed water quality, and full regulatory compliance — all managed through one point of contact.
BOOT is an infrastructure delivery model where RIEFILT connects you with the right manufacturer and operator who finances, builds, and operates a water treatment plant on your site. After 10-15 years, full ownership transfers to you. Zero capital expenditure. Guaranteed water quality.
Real example:
1,000 m³/day SWRO desalination for a Greek island municipality.
Option 1 — Water tanker delivery:€3.3–4.6M per year. Unreliable in rough seas. No guaranteed supply.
Option 2 — Direct purchase: €2.5M capex + €180K/year opex = €4.3M over 10 years.Full risk on the municipality. Maintenance staff required.
Option 3 — BOOT via RIEFILT:€0 capex + €110K/month = €1.32M/year.60-70% savings vs. tanker. Zero risk. After 10-15 years, you own the plant.
