Immediate, reliable water supply during construction phases before permanent water infrastructure is in place, including mobile ultrafiltration systems to treat available source water to the required quality for construction and early commissioning activities.

High-purity demineralised water supply for steam blow procedures, a critical commissioning activity for new power plant pipework and turbine systems; mobile systems ensure the correct water quality and volume are available precisely when needed to keep commissioning on schedule.

Process water for construction, testing, and commissioning phases.

Maintain operations during fuel switching or modernisation projects.

Immediate deployment when permanent systems are delayed by supply chain issues.

Parallel operation during performance testing and warranty periods.

Long-term rental solutions aligned with project finance structures.

CCGT

A 1.3 GW combined cycle gas turbine power station needed to reduce operational costs by £100,000 annually without compromising water quality or plant availability. Veolia deployed mobile ultrafiltration and reverse osmosis systems in a 10-year contract, achieving a 90% reduction in regeneration chemistry consumption, >95% demineralisation plant availability, and 800 tonnes annual reduction in chemical discharge to the environment.

NUCLEAR

An ageing nuclear power plant faced critical water treatment failures in two streams essential for turbine island steam generation, with potential losses of €1.2 million per day. Veolia activated the site's pre-prepared Emergency Water Plan, deploying mobile ion exchange systems that maintained zero downtime throughout the repair period, ensuring continuous operations at this critical facility serving a large population.

About Veolia mobile water services

Veolia is a global leader in optimised resource management, providing water, waste, and energy management solutions to industrial and municipal clients. Our mobile water services division operates one of the largest fleets of rental water treatment equipment in Europe, backed by unmatched technical expertise and customer support. We partner with power generators across Europe to deliver flexible, sustainable water treatment solutions that support operational excellence and energy transition strategies.

How quickly can you deploy a mobile water treatment system?

For emergency situations, we aim to deploy assets within 2 hours of your call.

What is the typical rental period for mobile water service projects?

We offer flexible terms from short-term emergency rentals (days/weeks) to long-term solutions (months/years) based on your needs.

How far in advance should we plan for a medium to long-term use for mobile water services?

We are flexible to your needs. For longer projects, we recommend 3-6 months advance notice for optimal planning and system design, though we can accommodate shorter timelines when needed.

Can rental terms be extended or modified during the project?

Yes, we offer flexible contract terms that can be extended or modified as your project requirements evolve.

Do you provide operators for the mobile systems?

We offer full-service operation, operator training for your staff, or remote monitoring support, whatever best fits your operational model. Support available in multiple languages.

How do costs compare to permanent installations?

For projects under 3-5 years, mobile solutions typically offer significant cost advantages when considering total cost of ownership, including capital avoidance, maintenance, and flexibility. Every situation is different so speak to our team to help plan the best outcome for your project.

Can mobile systems meet the same water quality standards as permanent installations?

Yes, our mobile systems utilise the same proven technologies as permanent installations and consistently meet or exceed industry water quality standards and EU requirements.

Do you handle cross-border logistics and permits?

Yes, we manage all transportation logistics, customs documentation, and temporary installation permits across European borders.

Can we trial different technologies before committing to permanent systems?

Yes, mobile services provide an excellent opportunity to evaluate different treatment technologies under real operating conditions before making permanent investment decisions.

What happens at the end of the rental period?

We provide coordinated transition planning, whether that's extending the rental, transitioning to permanent systems, or demobilisation. All transitions are planned to ensure zero disruption to operations.

How do mobile systems support our sustainability and decarbonisation goals?

Modern mobile systems feature energy-efficient designs, and right-sized temporary solutions often have lower overall carbon footprints than oversized permanent installations. We can provide carbon footprint reporting for your sustainability disclosures.

Can you handle the complex wastewater from Energy from Waste facilities?

Yes, we have extensive experience with EfW applications including leachate treatment, scrubber blowdown, and process water containing heavy metals, organics, and high salt concentrations. Our systems are designed to meet stringent EfW discharge requirements.

Do you support circular economy initiatives at EfW facilities?

Yes, our water treatment solutions can support resource recovery, water recycling, and other circular economy approaches that maximise value from waste processing operations.
