Optimising Wastewater Management
with Mobile Water Solutions
In an era of water scarcity and stringent environmental regulations, industrial plant operators face unprecedented challenges in managing wastewater. With 80% of global wastewater flowing back into ecosystems untreated, efficient strategies are urgently needed. Mobile water treatment is emerging as a key solution to address these issues.
Plant operators are increasingly turning to mobile water treatment solutions to improve efficiency and reliability of wastewater treatment. Companies like NSI Mobile Water Solutions, part of Nijhuis Saur Industries, are helping sites safeguard operational licenses while lowering their environmental footprint.
When go Mobile?
Mobile wastewater solutions offer flexibility and efficiency in various scenarios. In emergency situations, they can quickly address equipment failures or unexpected contamination events, ensuring minimal disruption to operations. During periods of increased production or seasonal fluctuations, these solutions can provide temporary capacity increases, allowing plants to manage spikes in wastewater volume without permanent infrastructure changes.
For companies considering new treatment technologies, mobile units offer an excellent opportunity for pilot testing before full-scale implementation. This approach minimises risk and allows for fine-tuning of processes. During planned maintenance of permanent facilities, mobile solutions can step in to support ongoing operations, preventing costly downtimes. Additionally, as regulatory standards evolve, mobile units can help companies rapidly adapt to new discharge requirements, ensuring continuous compliance.

Benefits of Mobile Wastewater Solutions
Financial flexibility is a significant advantage of mobile water treatment solutions. Pay-as-you-go contracts, from 1 day to 7 years, improve financial planning through predictable payments. This approach allows companies to manage water treatment costs as operational expenses rather than large capital investments.
Quick deployment is another key benefit. In urgent situations, mobile units can be rapidly installed and operational, bypassing lengthy processes associated with permanent installations. Scalability allows companies to easily adjust treatment capacity based on changing needs.
Mobile solutions also provide access to the latest wastewater treatment and reuse technologies without major capital investment. As new, more efficient treatment methods are developed, such as advanced membrane filtration, companies using mobile units can more easily upgrade their processes. These advanced technologies enable the transformation of wastewater into high-quality reusable water, supporting circular water management practices.
Case Study: Mobile Water Solutions Supports Spanish Food & Bev Company
A leading Spanish company operating in the Food & Beverage industry contacted Mobile Water Solutions in an emergency situation caused by unforeseen issues with their wastewater treatment plant. They needed to urgently reduce the hydraulic flow and the total suspended solids (TSS) load at the intel of their biological treatment plant (anaerobic + aerobic).
To tackle the issue, Mobile Water Solutions promptly mobilised a mobile dissolved air flotation (DAF) unit to enable the removal of approximately 80 to 85% of the TSS as the first step for primary treatment. Part of the pre-treated water has then been filtered by multi-media filtration and reverse osmosis process. This second step enabled partial reuse of this source.
After the successful mobilisation on-site for a period of 8 weeks, the customer followed up by extending the contract from an Emergency to a 12-month Planned service.
Conclusion
NSI Mobile Water Solutions offers a flexible, efficient, and cost-effective approach to wastewater management. With one of the largest mobile water and wastewater fleets, numerous depots, and a dedicated team across Europe, NSI Mobile Water Solutions presents itself as the partner of choice for industrial plant operators looking to leverage the expertise of Nijhuis Saur Industries in wastewater treatment.
By embracing mobile wastewater treatment and reuse technologies, companies can ensure compliance and operational continuity while reducing their freshwater consumption and environmental impact.
