Mobile Water Services for Industrial Applications
September 2024
In an age where water scarcity and environmental regulations are increasingly impacting operations, Mobile Water Services (MWS) has emerged as a transformative force across Australia and New Zealand. These MWS offer a flexible alternative to traditional capital investment and maintenance for treated water procurement. By having features such as rapid deployment, advanced technology and sustainable practices, MWS reshapes how water resource management is approached by industries. This article explores how MWS provides significant benefits across multiple areas of water management operations.
Rapid Response to Water Needs
Overview of MWS Deployment
Mobile Water Services (MWS) trailer units can be rapidly mobilised to address and treat urgent water needs during supply disruptions or emergencies. These systems are designed for quick deployment, allowing industries to maintain operational continuity even in challenging situations.
Having the ability to quickly set up mobile water treatment facilities means that industries can avoid costly downtime and maintain compliance with regulatory requirements. MWS units are flexible to be operational within hours of deployment, making them an invaluable resource for sectors that rely heavily on consistent water supply.

Versatile Applications Across Industries
Mining and Minerals
In the mining sector, MWS plays a crucial role in helping companies comply with environmental regulations while sustaining production levels. Mobile water treatment solutions enable these industries to treat and use processed water on-site, ensuring they meet local environmental standards without halting operations. This flexibility not only supports regulatory compliance but also enhances operational efficiency by reducing the need for extensive infrastructure.
An example of this would be in a remote mining site in Quebec where Veolia Water Technologies was tasked to provide two 100 m3/h nano-filtration units through its Mobile Water Services rental fleet for the required Thiosalts removal from the wastewater.
Food and Beverage
The food production industry places a premium on consistent water quality to ensure product safety and compliance with health regulations. MWS systems are designed to meet stringent safety and quality standards necessary for food processing, preventing contamination and ensuring that the water used in production is always of the highest quality. This reliability is critical in maintaining consumer trust and meeting regulatory demands.
Pharmaceuticals
The pharmaceutical industry is characterised by its rigorous purity standards. MWS’s mobile reverse osmosis systems are specifically engineered to meet these stringent requirements by effectively removing contaminants from water used in drug manufacturing processes. This capability ensures that pharmaceutical companies can maintain compliance with health regulations while also safeguarding the integrity of their products.
Technological Advancements
Innovations in MWS Technology
Recent advancements in MWS technology include high-capacity mobile reverse osmosis units equipped with real-time monitoring systems. These innovations enhance operational efficiency by allowing for immediate adjustments based on water quality data. The integration of advanced sensors and automated controls ensures that the water treatment processes are optimised continuously, leading to improved performance for industrial usage.
Impact on Performance
These technological improvements lead to enhanced treatment efficiency and ensure compliance with industry standards, thereby reducing risks associated with non-compliance and improving overall operational reliability. The ability to monitor system performance in real-time allows operators to make informed decisions quickly, further enhancing the effectiveness of mobile water solutions.
Sustainability and Resource Management
Water Reuse Initiatives
MWS supports sustainable practices by facilitating water reuse. Their systems are designed to manage and treat wastewater effectively, allowing industries to recycle water for various applications, thus conserving freshwater resources. This approach not only helps reduce operational costs but also contributes positively to environmental conservation efforts.
Environmental Impact
Minimising reliance on freshwater is crucial, especially in regions facing water scarcity challenges. MWS’s solutions help industries reduce their environmental footprint by promoting responsible water management practices. By enabling effective water reuse and treatment, MWS plays a vital role in supporting sustainable development goals across various sectors.
