Water treatment for boat maintenance and port washdown
Water laden with hydrocarbons, TSS and metals: our solutions help you control your discharges, even in ICPE-regulated zones.
Polluted water, constrained sites, stringent requirements
Variable and regulated effluents, laden with hydrocarbons, heavy metals, detergents and suspended solids. They must be treated before discharge to prevent any pollution.
Space constraints, continuous operations and budget limitations rule out conventional solutions.
Nomado offers compact, modular and compliant units, easy to integrate, securing your installations without disrupting your activity.
The trust of the greatest
We treat all your water streams
Boat maintenance water
Boat maintenance operations generate water heavily laden with suspended solids, paint particles, heavy metals and hydrocarbons. These highly polluting effluents must be treated before discharge to prevent port pollution or regulatory non-compliance. Nomado offers compact, self-contained units, designed to be installed directly in maintenance areas, on a temporary or permanent basis.
Washdown water
Washing operations generate water polluted by grease, hydrocarbons, detergents and suspended solids. This water cannot be discharged directly to the network or environment without prior treatment. Nomado offers compact, compliant units to manage these effluents at source, for new installations or compliance upgrades of existing wash areas.
Container washing water
Cleaning of maritime containers, mechanical parts or technical tanks produces polluted water that is complex to treat. These effluents often contain grease, hydrocarbons, surfactants, solvents or process residues. Nomado designs compact units, sized to treat this water at source, in compliance with regulatory thresholds and with a minimal footprint.
Why choose Nomado for your activity?
Technical support to secure your operations
Nomado supports you over the long term with technical assistance contracts: regular technician visits for adjustments, process optimisation, training, and remote monitoring via supervision.
A turnkey solution with no upfront investment
With our Water as a Service offer, there is no need to purchase the treatment unit: we supply it, install it, and you pay only per m³ of water treated.
An agile response to your site constraints
Our containerised units are designed to adapt to complex sites: port areas, logistics platforms, maintenance depots, wash bays...
Guaranteed regulatory compliance
We help you meet your ICPE, Water Law and RSDE obligations, and support you in your dealings with environmental authorities.

Frequently Asked Questions
What types of effluents can your treatment units handle?
Our treatment units are designed to handle a wide range of effluents, including water laden with hydrocarbons, suspended solids (TSS), heavy metals, detergents, grease, and other pollutants from boat maintenance yards, vehicle wash facilities, rail maintenance depots and mechanical parts cleaning.
Can you adapt to specific site constraints?
Our containerised units are designed to fit complex sites such as port areas, maintenance depots, wash bays and logistics platforms. Their compact footprint and ease of installation allow for fast and efficient integration.
Do your solutions require civil engineering works?
No, our containerised units are compact and ready to use. They can be installed quickly without any civil engineering works, making them ideal for constrained sites or temporary installations.
Can you guarantee regulatory compliance?
Yes, our solutions are configured to comply with ICPE standards, the Water Law, RSDE requirements, and other local regulatory obligations. We also support our clients in their dealings with the relevant authorities.
Are your units suitable for temporary use?
Absolutely. Our solutions are modular and can be installed on a temporary or permanent basis. They are ideal for specific needs such as construction phases or maintenance zones.
Do you offer financing options?
Yes, with our Water as a Service offer, there is no need to invest in purchasing a unit. We supply it, install it, and you pay only per m³ of water treated. This reduces upfront costs and keeps expenditure predictable.
Do you offer technical support after installation?
Yes, we offer technical support contracts including regular site visits, remote monitoring and team training. This ensures optimal operation and rapid response when needed.
Do your solutions enable water recycling?
Yes, some of our units include options for partial or full recycling of treated water. This helps reduce water consumption and optimise operational costs.
Which sectors do your solutions cover?
We operate primarily in the port, rail, logistics, industrial and municipal sectors. Our solutions are adapted to the needs of small ports, maintenance depots, industrial fleets and other transport-related infrastructure.
How long does it take to install a unit?
Our units are designed for rapid installation. Depending on site constraints, installation can be completed within a few days, minimising any disruption to operations. If you have further questions, feel free to contact us to discuss your project with our engineers.
