The publicly owned Skanderborg Water and Wastewater Utility in Denmark has chosen Suez’s Densadeg XRC Extreme Rate Clarifiers for use in its expanded treatment plant.
The clarifiers will be the tertiary treatment technology at the plant and are expected reduce phosphorus discharged into the environmentally sensitive Svanesø Lake from stormwater runoff by 90%.
The Densadeg XRC uses a high-rate settling clarifier process which combines solids contact, ballast addition and solids recirculation to provide enhanced deposition of solids. The technology’s design allows for flexibility in terms of design choice, footprint, and operation requirements.
The treatment system, designed in partnership with Skanderborg Utility, will use two lines of Densadeg XRC. The design ensures operation during normal times and during peak flows where the utility can experience up to three times normal load.
The project is expected to commission in Q3 2019 and Per Krøyer Kristensen, CEO of Suez in Denmark, said: “Meeting the United Nation’s Sustainable Development Goals has been a high priority for the Danish public. He added: “It’s gratifying to know that our technology was selected to help protect water quality in Denmark’s iconic lake district.”
