The implementation of an effective contingency plan can significantly help to minimise the risk of business disruption to an industrial facility. In particular, site managers in charge of a water treatment plant must have a plan in place in case of disruption to the in-situ system. Here, we highlight how Mobile Water Services can help and outline the plug-and-play solutions, which can help companies to prepare for water treatment emergencies.
Fortune favours the well-prepared. That is to say, those who are most prepared for disruptive incidents are best placed to avoid their consequences. Nowhere does this apply more than to site managers overseeing water treatment plants. These plants often play a crucial role in the processes of a wider industrial facility, which can still be expected to continue the delivery of products and services following a disruptive incident. Whilst ostensibly difficult to achieve, the task becomes far simpler once companies have dedicated the proper time and attention to developing a robust contingency plan. For those in charge of such facilities, taking this first step allows them to identify water treatment solutions they could deploy in a crisis.
What are Mobile Water Services?

Mobile Water Services are temporary, transportable water treatment solutions that can be rapidly deployed to industrial sites to provide immediate access to high-quality treated water. These self-contained, skid-mounted units encompass a comprehensive range of water treatment technologies, all designed to be quickly transported, installed, and commissioned at an industrial facility.
Comprehensive Technology Solutions
Mobile water treatment services have evolved significantly since their introduction. What began as simple ion exchange resins mounted in trailers has transformed into a comprehensive suite of advanced technologies. Today's solutions encompass everything from pretreatment by clarification and filtration to reverse osmosis, ultrafiltration, and ancillary equipment, while mobile ion exchange technology continues to play a crucial role in emergency response situations.

Our mobile water treatment units incorporate advanced technologies and sustainable practices, including water reuse and energy-efficient operations, to reduce environmental footprint and ensure compliance with local and international standards. With a network of assets strategically located across Europe, we can quickly mobilise solutions to your site, minimising downtime and production losses.

In addition, the Mobile Water Services assets can be positioned to make the best use of the available space, eliminating or reducing the need for building infrastructure to house the equipment. Furthermore, many of the solutions delivered through Veolia’s Mobile Water Service offering represent genuine plug-and-play systems, which deliver in terms of functionality and portability. What’s more, the solutions on offer are entirely modular and can be operated in parallel or in series to provide the required flow rate. Likewise, this modular design allows sites to continually add new components or treatment steps as required. Therefore, should there be a temporary need for additional capacity, the system can respond accordingly.
