What the Project Is
Stockholm Water Technology (SWT) is a Swedish company specializing in the development of low pressure, low cost & low energy electrochemical water desalination/purification systems based on Capacitive Deionization. The company’s projects are outlined with clear focus and precision. The first project, MUNICIPAL WASTEWATER POLISHING, sees Veolia and SWT working together to evaluate SWT technology for converting treated wastewater into indirect drinking water – an effort that stands as a remarkable achievement in water reuse. Then there is the AQUACULTURE & AQUAPONICS project in Portugal where SWT is involved in a project to supply a water treatment unit to an Aquaponics facility. And finally, the FOOD & BEVERAGE project highlights how SWT is growing alongside a new brewery.
