Mobile reverse osmosis: treated water on site without waiting for a fixed plant to be built.
Mobile Pure Water is our containerised reverse osmosis plant. It treats over 1 million litres a day (1 ML/d) and arrives pre-commissioned and wet-tested from our Townsville facility, so it only needs feed water, power and a discharge point to start. It can be fitted with ion exchange for targeted chemical removal, and electrodeionisation (EDI) for high-purity water. For larger flows, we can mobilise ultrafiltration of up to 4 ML/d within a short period of time.
We have one unit available for hire, so contact us early to check availability for your dates.

Mobile Pure Water FAQs
Can I hire a mobile reverse osmosis plant?
Yes. Our Mobile Pure Water unit is available for short-term or campaign-length hire, or for purchase. We have one hire unit, so contact us early to check availability.
How much water can the mobile unit treat?
Over 1 million litres per day (1 ML/d) from the containerised RO unit. For larger flows, we can also mobilise ultrafiltration of up to 4 ML/d within a short period of time.
What does the site need to provide?
A feed water connection, power and a discharge point. Power must be supplied by the site; we do not supply a generator.
Can the unit treat water to discharge permit limits?
That is what it is built for. We test your feed water first and confirm the achievable output quality against your permit before mobilising.
Do you operate the unit, or do we?
We operate the unit. Our operators run and monitor the unit on site and record results for your compliance file.
How quickly can the unit be on site?
The unit can usually be dispatched within a day or two. It is pre-commissioned in Townsville, so the main lead time is any water testing, configuration and site inductions your site requires.
Need treated water on site?
Tell us your site, volumes and dates, and we will check availability and configure the unit for your water.
