Water Treatment for Aerospace and Defence

Precision-engineered solutions for high-spec applications in manufacturing, maintenance, and testing

The aerospace and defence sectors demand absolute precision, reliability, and compliance across every element of the production and support lifecycle. From component machining and surface treatment to cleanroom environments and sensitive testing operations, water plays a critical role at multiple stages.

AllWater Technologies supplies tailored water treatment for aerospace and defence clients across the UK. Our systems are engineered for performance in regulated environments, with a focus on ultra-pure water quality, consistent flow, and compliance with MOD, ISO, and site-specific standards.

We deliver end-to-end support for new systems, plant upgrades, and wastewater discharge control. Whether you’re building out capacity in an aerospace production facility or maintaining legacy infrastructure on a defence site, we provide technical insight and system reliability where it counts.

Water Systems Built for Aerospace and Defence Applications

Our in-house engineering team designs and delivers a wide range of water treatment technologies suited to the unique demands of this sector. These include:

Aerospace Water Purification

High-purity water is essential for surface treatment, cooling, cleanroom washing, and component rinsing. We supply advanced water purification systems that deliver reliable performance for:

  • Machining and surface finishing
  • Anodising and electroplating
  • Cleaning of high-spec parts
  • Jet engine maintenance and overhauls
  • Deionised water production for cleanroom use

Systems may include reverse osmosis (RO), deionisation, EDI units, and UV sterilisation for full-spectrum treatment. All systems are designed around flow rate, pressure, and space constraints at your facility.

Defence Sector Water Systems

From shipyards and airfields to secure facilities and R&D sites, the defence sector presents a diverse set of water treatment challenges. AllWater supports clients with:

  • Boiler and cooling water treatment to protect infrastructure
  • Effluent management and discharge compliance
  • Closed-loop water systems for remote or sensitive environments
  • WRAS-compliant drinking water treatment
  • Temporary or modular plant for operational support or trials

Our defence sector water systems are built for longevity and compliance, with robust component selection and full commissioning support.

Wastewater and Discharge Compliance

Effluent from aerospace and defence operations often contains metals, oils, solvents, or other contaminants. AllWater designs treatment systems that help sites:

  • Meet their Environmental Permitting Regulations (EPR) obligations
  • Comply with MOD discharge limits
  • Prepare water for reuse or safe disposal

We offer pH correction, metal recovery, DAF systems, and outfall monitoring tools to ensure that wastewater is fully treated and traceable.

Our support includes

Telephone & remote diagnostics for rapid fault identification

System troubleshooting and root cause analysis

Planned service visits tailored to your production schedule

Guidance on optimisation, upgrades and retrofit options

Ongoing training and user support post-installation

On-site engineering support from qualified specialists

Designed for Regulatory Compliance

The aerospace and defence sectors are among the most heavily regulated in the UK. AllWater ensures that every system is designed, built, and supported to meet or exceed:

  • ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 quality and environmental standards
  • UKCA and WRAS product certifications
  • MOD-specific protocols and project security requirements
  • Client-specific documentation and validation processes

We also offer full technical documentation, risk assessments, and ongoing service support to assist with audits and internal QA procedures.

Real-World Experience in Aerospace and Defence

AllWater has a proven track record supporting high-spec engineering clients. Past and current projects include:

  • Custom water treatment systems for aerospace component manufacturing
  • Process water systems for military aviation maintenance facilities
  • Wastewater discharge control for defence R&D centres
  • Temporary modular plants for field operations and shipyard works

Our work supports both civil and military applications and meets the strict performance and security expectations associated with these sectors.

Benefits of Precision Water Treatment

Choosing the right water system can make a tangible difference in production quality, asset protection, and compliance. Our aerospace and defence clients benefit from:

  • High-quality water outputs that support mission-critical processes
  • Improved rinse quality for surface treatments and cleanroom operations
  • Reduced downtime from scaling, fouling, or equipment failure
  • Extended equipment life for boilers, wash stations, and chillers
  • Improved sustainability through reuse, recycling, and better effluent control
  • Operational confidence from working with a proven supplier

Whether you need precision water treatment, flexible wastewater control, or standalone purification units, we supply systems that meet your spec without compromise.

Ongoing Support and Maintenance

Every AllWater system is backed by comprehensive post-installation support. We offer:

  • Planned maintenance agreements tailored to aerospace/defence sites
  • Multi-year service contracts with locked-in pricing
  • 24/7 emergency response options
  • Operator training and handover documentation
  • Spare parts and system components readily available

We understand the importance of continuity in regulated, high-security environments and work closely with facilities and compliance teams to ensure zero disruption.
