Why Mobile Water Services Matter for Mining Water Management
August 2025
Mining operations cannot afford prolonged downtime. Whether caused by seasonal water quality changes, infrastructure failure, or planned maintenance, any interruption can cause major operational and financial consequences. That’s where our mobile and temporary water treatment services step in to offer:
- Rapid deployment in emergency or planned scenarios
- Temporary or supplementary mine water treatment during peak demand
- Support during infrastructure upgrades or refurbishments
- Remote site servicing where permanent infrastructure is not feasible
Veolia’s mobile water services are built to bridge these gaps quickly and efficiently, providing high-quality treated water wherever and whenever it’s needed.
What Makes Veolia’s Mobile Solutions Stand Out?
1. Advanced, Proven Technology
Our mobile water treatment services fleet includes systems capable of high-end treatment processes, such as:
- Clarification for removing suspended solids
- Filtration to eliminate fine particles
- Reverse osmosis for desalination and purification
- Deionisation for ultrapure water needs
Among our flagship mobile water treatment technologies is ActifloⓇ, a high-rate clarification process that effectively removes turbidity, algae, and heavy metals, all within a compact footprint. Optional disc filters add even more flexibility for complex mining water treatment scenarios.
What was once limited to the treatment plants can now be deployed as mobile units, giving mine sites immediate access to comprehensive water treatment without the delays and high costs associated with building permanent facilities.
2. Purpose-Built for Mining Conditions
Our systems are designed to withstand the harsh realities our clients face daily. Veolia's mobile water services are built to handle extreme conditions, including:
- Extreme weather events, from heatwaves and bushfires to cyclones and floods
- Rough terrain, with equipment designed for durability and transportability
- Limited site access, with compact flat-deck trailer configurations ideal for constrained or remote locations
Every system is designed and built for ease of integration into existing mining processes and infrastructure, minimising downtime and accelerating time-to-treatment.
3. Rapid Response and 24/7 Support
