Future-proofing of Greenlandic waterworks
As experts in water treatment, we have many years of experience working in Greenland. Among many things, we have supplied settlement waterworks and consultancy for Nukissiorfiit and in that way helped to secure the future water supply in Nuuk.
Several settlements in Greenland have improved the health of the local population since Krüger has delivered many water treatment plants that can cope with the variations that characterize the area. The challenge is primarily linked to increased amounts of organic material in the local lakes, where the waterworks typically extract raw water.
Designing the solutions we have taken responsibility for the environment by, e.g. recommending processes and technologies that reduce energy and water consumption.
Strong collaboration with Nukissiorfiit
For many years, we have had a very good collaboration with Nukissiorfiit, where we have provided consultancy in regards to:
• Planning conditions
• Future water supply structure in Nuuk
• Securing the dimensioning basis
• Process design
• Development of standard modules at municipal waterworks
• Dimensioning of wiring harnesses
• Training of operating personnel

Standard modules for settlement water works
As a starting points, the facilities consist of the following modules:
* Filter module for pH adjustment with lime and physical cleaning for impurities
* UV module for disinfection
* Container module with pure water tank(s) for storing treated water
* Pumping out/rinsing water module for frequency-controlled pumping out and rinsing of filters
* Water quality module
