NX Filtration delivered its nanofiltration membranes for the removal of micropollutants and nutrients to the RecoLab project to efficiently recycle greywater, blackwater and food waste in Helsingborg, Sweden.

“WASTEWATER PROJECT OF THE YEAR ” by GWI Global Water Awards 2022.

The project sets the standard for sustainable, circular water and waste management at a local level. Treated effluent passes through our direct nanofiltration system that removes micropollutants and nutrients which are then sent to a factory to produce fertiliser pellets and treated water is directed to a nearby swimming pool. By producing biogas and fertiliser, and recycling 80% of greywater to potable standard, the project contributes to lower eutrophication, increased renewable energy output and lower water consumption. The plant also provides a model for a collaborative approach to domestic waste management between water, wastewater and energy utilities that maximises environmental sustainability.
