Municipal Water Treatment

Municipalities, water utilities and environmental authorities play an important role in reducing eutrophication and achieving good water quality. DiaPure offers a technically robust and regenerable phosphorus removal solution that complements existing treatment where additional phosphorus reduction is needed.

The technology is designed for stormwater, local water environments and other municipal water flows where phosphorus should be captured close to its source.

Stormwater with measurable impact

Stormwater carries phosphorus and other nutrients from urban environments into lakes, rivers and coastal waters. DiaPure can be integrated into stormwater systems, retention basins, ditches and wetlands to remove dissolved phosphorus before the water reaches the receiving environment.

The regenerable technology provides reliable treatment under varying flow conditions and can be implemented in both new installations and as a complementary treatment step in existing systems.

Supporting municipal water management

DiaPure can contribute to municipal initiatives including:

• Stormwater strategies and local water conservation projects
• Measures in high-impact catchment areas
• Wetlands and nature-based treatment solutions
• Complementary phosphorus removal in smaller wastewater facilities

I linje med EU:s vatten- och Supporting EU water and wastewater objectives

DiaPure supports municipalities and public authorities in working towards:

• The EU Water Framework Directive (2000/60/EC)
• The revised Urban Wastewater Treatment Directive (2023)
• National action programmes for reducing eutrophication

Through high phosphorus removal efficiency and the potential for nutrient recovery, DiaPure supports both current and future water management objectives.

Fördelar för kommuner och Benefits for municipalities and planning

• Documented phosphorus reduction
• Robust technology for varying stormwater flows
• Regenerable filter material with reduced waste
• Flexible integration into stormwater systems, ditches and wetlands
• Suitable for both pilot projects and larger municipal initiatives

Funding and project opportunities

DiaPure can be relevant in water management projects funded through programmes such as LOVA (Local Water Conservation Projects) and LONA (Local Nature Conservation Initiative), where municipalities often act as project owners or collaborative partners.
