Case Study: European Power Plant
Industrial Water Treatment – Power Generation | EMEA
A large, European power plant required an abundant water source with subsequent treatment technology that could reliably meet stringent water quality requirements.
A nearby river was chosen as the water source, but that water experienced seasonal variation, and needed a treatment solution. Pall Water’s Aria FAST mobile membrane units provided the answer. Mobile water treatment containers were delivered quickly, enabling the power plant to meet their water quality needs. The speed of this deployment saved the customer from a potential costly shutdown procedure.

Solution Overview
- High-Quality Water: Exceeded requirements of pre-existing demineralization water plant
- Reliable Source Water
- Fast Solution: Quick deployment; mobile systems delivered in February, with startup completed in April
- Convenient Containers: Treatment was provided in containers to minimize installation time and infrastructure costs
- Capacity: Yearly average flow at 130 m³/h
- Zero Interruption of Plant Productivity
- Flexible Solution: Units available for short- or long-term needs
-
The Challenge
The power plant needed a reliable water source to feed an existing demineralization unit. The original supply was from conventionally treated groundwater, however that could not provide a stable and high-quality treated water source.
-
The Solution
To solve water supply challenges, the power plant utilized water from an adjacent river, La Meuse. This source water has variable organic load and suspended solids due to seasonal variation. Two mobile, integrated membrane systems provided the solution, delivering stable, high-quality, treated water.
-
The Results
The fully integrated Aria FAST units treat river water, removing particulate matter, biological components, and more. Furthermore, the Aria FAST reverse osmosis (RO) containers work in conjunction with three pre-existing RO containers on-site to deliver high-quality water with low levels of dissolved salts and organics at a total permeate flow.

Service & Maintenance: Aria CARE
In 2016, after three years of long-term rental, the operator decided to purchase the units. Additionally, the operator invested in Aria CARE, which extends the Pall Water service team to the site for annual maintenance and process optimization of the mobile units.Learn more about our comprehensive service, care, and maintenance offerings today!
