In most cases, our mobile water treatment systems can be deployed within 24 hours. Emergency mobilisation is also available, subject to logistics and compatibility.

Who operates the mobile system?

Veolia manages mobilisation, installation, and commissioning of the assets at your site. We then provide customer training for daily operation. We support this with regular service visits to monitor, maintain, and ensure optimal equipment performance.

What is included in a service agreement with Veolia Water Technologies?

As an output performance-based service, we guarantee the treatment of process and wastewater to an agreed specification, detailed in our proposal. This is based on working with you prior to mobilisation to understand the required treatment technology and performance.

Our pricing is normally presented in clear categories:

  • Mobilisation, installation, commissioning, and training: These costs cover transporting the equipment to your site and getting the system operational, including all initial setup.
  • Weekly rental: This includes equipment rental, service support, proactive and reactive maintenance, spare parts, and consumables. It’s a comprehensive bundled service to ensure optimal equipment operation.
  • Demobilisation, disconnection, and equipment removal: These costs cover returning the equipment to our depot.

Case Study: Sustainable Water Management Solution for Ezz Steel (Egypt)

Egypt

The company: Ezz Steel, leading steel producer in the Middle East and Africa, with an impressive 7-million-ton annual capacity.

The challenge: Ezz Steel faced significant water management challenges in water-scarce Egypt. They needed to shift from relying on Nile River water to a more sustainable solution for their cooling operations, all while maintaining production efficiency and environmental responsibility.

The solution: Veolia Water Technologies addressed this by implementing a comprehensive mobile water solution in two phases. We provided a system capable of treating 16,000 cubic meters of water per day, comprising 7 brackish water reverse osmosis systems and 2 ultrafiltration containerised units. This allowed Ezz Steel to meet its full process water demand independently of the Nile, while also improving water quality and reducing chemical usage by 75%.

The result:

  • Optimised cooling operations
  • Maximised water reuse
  • Preservation of Egypt's vital freshwater resources while ensuring business continuity for Ezz Steel
