Xylem has won a contract to provide ultraviolet (UV) drinking water treatment solutions to the largest UV disinfection project ever undertaken in Sweden.

The Xylem solutions will help deliver clean, treated drinking water to 900,000 people across 16 municipalities.  The facility will have the capacity to handle a potential 25 percent increase in water volume to support future population growth.

Xylem will provide four WEDECO K- Series UV disinfection systems to upgrade the Sydvatten AB Waterworks in the Scania (Skåne) region in southern Sweden.  Xylem’s UV systems were chosen for their flexible and innovative design, low lifecycle costs, negligible environmental impact and ability to handle large volumes of water in the most efficient manner possible, while catering to potential future plant expansion.

The Sydvatten AB Waterworks drinking water treatment plant has been in operation since 1966.  Xylem’s UV systems will complement existing traditional treatment methods to eliminate bacteria, viruses and parasites.
