The challenges of water management for municipalities

Ensuring an efficient and compliant water service is a challenge for municipalities, regardless of their territory. Ageing networks, budget constraints, growing regulatory requirements and the rise of water reuse solutions all add to the complexity. Traditional water treatment projects are often lengthy, complex and costly.
Nomado offers a modular, responsive and accessible alternative to meet these practical needs.
Our prefabricated units deliver effective solutions where conventional approaches reach their limits.

Upgrading ageing or undersized infrastructure

Many drinking water or wastewater treatment plants are obsolete, struggling with changing water quality, seasonal peaks or climate variability.

→ Our prefabricated units make it easy to add complementary treatment or reinforce an existing installation, without the burden of major civil engineering works.

Complying with an increasingly demanding regulatory framework

Micropollutants, REUT, PFAS… Environmental and health requirements are multiplying, and municipalities must adapt their installations while ensuring continuity of service.

→ Our stations are sized to current standards. We support municipalities through the compliance process with scalable, adaptable equipment.

Meeting needs without increasing investment burden

Municipal budgets are under pressure, and water treatment projects require significant capital expenditure that is difficult to mobilise.

→ We offer a flexible approach: long-term rental, operating contract or even per-m³ billing through a Water as a Service offer. You control costs while ensuring quality of service to users.

Micropollutant treatment

PFAS, pharmaceutical residues, pesticides: new water quality priorities require advanced treatment. Municipalities must now integrate micropollutant treatment into their wastewater treatment plants or drinking water production units. A modular, complementary solution designed to anticipate future regulatory obligations.

Treatment of PFAS, pharmaceutical residues, pesticides...
Technologies: powdered or granular activated carbon, ozonation, advanced UV...
Can be integrated downstream of WWTP or as tertiary treatment on drinking water plant
Containerised solution: pilotable, deployable without civil works
Compatible with RSDE, Micropollutant Action Plan and Drinking Water Directive

Modular wastewater treatment

A fast, modular response for your collective wastewater treatment needs.
Whether for an unequipped municipality, a network extension or a compliance upgrade, Nomado offers ready-to-use prefabricated wastewater treatment plants. Suited to permanent or temporary needs, they integrate easily into any environment.

MBBR, activated sludge, SBR or extensive treatment depending on the context
Capacity from 100 to 5,000 PE
Ideal for campsites, rural municipalities and urban expansion areas
Compliant with wastewater regulations / Water Law

Leachate treatment on-site

Reduce your logistics costs and secure your discharges with an on-site treatment solution. Leachate from composting platforms, waste storage facilities or retention basins is a complex effluent, often rich in COD, nitrogen, dissolved salts and metals. Nomado offers compact and robust units to treat this water directly on-site, in compliance with discharge standards, without relying on transport to an external treatment facility.

Physico-chemical, biological, membrane treatment (COD, NH₄⁺, TSS)
Containerised solutions installed in immediate proximity to the source
Reduced transport and external treatment costs
Suited to composting platforms, non-hazardous waste landfills (ISDND), landfills or wetlands
Reverse osmosis modules for leachate treatment
