Industries Using Mobile Water Treatment Systems 

Treatment Technologies for Temporary or Long-term Water Treatment

Reverse Osmosis (RO) – High-Purity Water Production

UCC’s mobile reverse osmosis systems remove dissolved solids, salts, and contaminants to produce high-purity water for industrial applications. Designed for temporary, emergency, or long-term deployment, these containerized or skid-mounted units provide reliable water treatment for industries including power generation, steel, chemical processing, mining, oil & gas, and microelectronics. Rapid deployment ensures minimal downtime and consistent water quality for critical operations.

 

Ultrafiltration (UF) – High Efficiency Membrane Water Purification

Our skid-mounted ultrafiltration systems provide high-efficiency removal of suspended solids, and bacteria from industrial water and wastewater streams. Ideal for temporary, emergency, or long-term deployment, UF ensures consistent water quality for industries including power generation, steel, chemical processing, mining, and municipal utilities.

 

Dissolved Air Flotation (DAF) for Superior Solids and Oil Separation

UCC’s mobile DAF systems efficiently remove suspended solids, oils, and grease from process water and wastewater. These containerized units are designed for rapid deployment to industrial and municipal sites, providing reliable treatment during maintenance, turnarounds, or peak demand periods in industries such as power, mining, steel, oil & gas, and municipal water treatment.

 

Mobile Clarification – Effective Solids Separation Across Industries

Our portable clarification systems use sedimentation and flocculation to remove fine suspended solids from a wide range of water and wastewater streams. Compact and skid-mounted, these units are ideal for emergency water treatment, supplemental capacity, or pilot testing in industries including power generation, mining, steel, cement, oil & gas, and municipal water utilities. They deliver reliable, high-quality water wherever rapid deployment is needed.

 

Ion Exchange & Demineralization – High Purity Industrial Water

UCC’s mobile ion exchange and demineralization systems remove hardness, dissolved salts, and other contaminants to produce high-purity water for boilers, cooling towers, and process applications. Fully modular and scalable, these units are suitable for short-term projects or long-term deployment in industries such as power, steel, chemical, mining, and microelectronics.

 

Chemical Feed Systems – Accurate Dosing for Water Quality Control

Our mobile chemical feed systems deliver precise dosing of coagulants, pH adjusters, and other treatment chemicals. Designed for temporary, emergency, or long-term deployment, these systems ensure regulatory compliance and consistent water quality across power, mining, steel, oil & gas, and municipal applications

Mobile Services Frequently Asked Questions

How quickly can a mobile water treatment system be deployed?

Most mobile systems can be transported and operational within 24 to 72 hours. This makes them ideal for emergency situations, plant outages, or construction projects where water treatment is needed immediately.

What types of contaminants can mobile systems remove?

Mobile water treatment equipment can remove suspended solids, turbidity, heavy metals, iron, manganese, organics, and biological contaminants. Advanced systems may also address emerging pollutants such as PFAS, nitrates, and hydrocarbons, depending on site requirements.

What raw water sources can be treated?

These systems are designed to treat a variety of raw water sources, including surface water, groundwater, brackish water, and industrial wastewater streams. Each unit can be customized with the right pretreatment, filtration, and disinfection technology for the application.

How long can a mobile water treatment system stay in service?

The length of service depends on the specific system, site conditions, and maintenance, but mobile units are suitable for both short‑term (temporary/emergency) and long‑term deployment needs.

What are the advantages of mobile water treatment systems?

Key advantages include fast deployment, flexibility, scalability, regulatory compliance, and reduced downtime. They also eliminate the need for upfront capital investment when water treatment is required temporarily.

What industries use mobile water treatment systems?

Industries such as power generation, steel, refining, chemical processing, oil & gas, and municipal water utilities rely on mobile water treatment.

Can mobile water treatment handle cooling tower blowdown or process water?

Yes. UCC mobile systems treat municipal, surface, process water, and cooling tower blowdown to meet industrial quality requirements.

What is the capacity range of mobile water treatment units?

Our systems provide flexible capacities from 15 GPM to over 1,000 GPM.
