When Supply Chains Fail, Can Your Power Plant Keep Running?

 When the grid depends on you, you need a partner you can depend on

The winter of 2023-2024 brought Europe to the brink of widespread blackouts.

Supply chain disruptions — including critical caustic shortages — threatened to force unplanned outages at nuclear facilities across the continent. For one major nuclear power plant contributing significantly to a large country's total electricity production, the stakes couldn't have been higher.

To make matters worse, two lines of the plant's softening system were down for maintenance at the same time — adding another layer of complexity to an already critical situation.

The solution? Veolia's mobile water services.

With a pre-prepared Emergency Water Plan already in place, Veolia rapidly deployed containerised ultrafiltration and reverse osmosis systems, delivering 1,500 m³/day of process water — 24/7 for three months straight, including over the Christmas and New Year holidays.

In this case study, you'll learn:

• How Veolia's emergency water plan enabled record-time deployment during a supply chain crisis

• Why containerised UF and RO systems were the right choice for reactor cooling operations

• How 24/7 monitoring and expert on-call support ensured zero disruption to electricity production

• The critical role mobile water services play in protecting essential infrastructure and grid stability
