The Urbanista | INFRA STORIES 2. Highest purity wastewater in Swedish village

Welcome to Infra Stories. 

Stories about places all across Nordics, where infrastructure projects with significant impact for the local communities have been built. Stories about innovative and sustainable solutions.

This is a story about wastewater treatment plant in Swedish village of Överklinten.

When the existing ground-based wastewater system of the Swedish village of Överklinten was condemned, the residents needed to find a new solution and an Uponor Infra WehoPuts treatment plant was chosen. Because Överklinten is located upstream of groundwater wells, and the site is close to a local factory, it made for stringent requirements regarding purity, mechanical separation and the biological and chemical processes also had to be supplemented with a phosphorus trap to capture any excess phosphorus and UV-C radiation, preventing bacterial growth.
