Intelligent pipe rehabilitation planning

We are happy to introduce WaterRehab; a unique tool for making pipe rehabilitation planning smoother and much more efficient. The pipeline network typically counts for up to 70% of the total volume of assets in water utilities. Therefore, even a small improvement of the rehabilitation strategy will result in huge savings in the distribution system. […]

Turning wastewater into green energy

Produce more than you use: In Denmark’s third largest city, VCS Denmark has turned wastewater treatment into of source of energy – producing enough electricity and heat to supply the entire company.

Case

Dedicated network and system efforts lead to impressive NRW results

Challenge Today, 25-50 per cent of all distributed water globally is lost or never invoiced due to illegal connections, inaccurate billing systems, inaccurate metering, leakages, deteriorating infrastructure and lack of pressure management etc. This is known as Non-Revenue Water (NRW). To meet the future demand for water and increase the financial viability of water utilities, […]

Unlocking the potential of wastewater

On a global scale, less than half of all wastewater is collected and less than one fifth is treated. This has led to severe environmental degradation of many inland and sea waters around the world. This white paper provides lessons learned from Danish stakeholders within wastewater treatment.

Case

Measurement and mitigation of microplastics in stormwater and wastewater

In recent years, the Danish Technological Institute (DTI) has been a principal partner in several R&D projects focusing on characterisation and removal of microplastics and microrubber in wastewater treatment plant influent/effluent, industrial wastewater and stormwater, respectively.

Online DNA-analyses – understanding microbial communities in WWTPs for process optimization,

Aalborg University has established the MIDAS database which provides information about function and distribution of most microorganisms in activated sludge in Danish WWTPs.

Reducing urban water losses

25-50% of all distributed water globally is lost or never invoiced due to illegal connections, inaccurate billing systems, inaccurate metering, leakages, deteriorating infrastructure and wrong water pressure management etc. – or in short Non-Revenue Water (NRW). This white paper examines how water utilities can improve efficiency and meet future demand for water by reducing Non-Revenue Water.

Abstraction optimisation using a wellfield model

The water utility, VCS Denmark, has an annual production of 9.6 million m3 of groundwater.
