Custom Design

Designing a custom‑designed water treatment system means adapting the solution to specific requirements. This is done by considering factors such as the water source, water quality, present contaminants, and the intended use of the treated water. Swedish Hydro Solutions has the expertise to help you define your quality targets and identify the specific contaminants that need to be removed or reduced — always with the overarching goal of meeting the required water quality standards.

Swedish Hydro Solutions specializes in custom‑designed projects that extend beyond conventional markets. This includes industries such as petrochemicals, specialized filtration projects, and the delivery of emergency equipment to municipalities. Our experienced water treatment specialists support you throughout the entire process, ensuring that your customized solution delivers effective treatment results and meets all necessary regulatory requirements.

The solution for your market

Swedish Hydro Solutions’ water treatment solutions are centered around biodegradable and environmentally friendly technologies, with a strong focus on maximizing safety for on‑site personnel. For example, chitosan is often used as a flocculant. It originates from bioproducts in the shellfish industry and has proven to be highly effective. Its water solubility eliminates the need for fresh water in the treatment process, while the user‑friendly dosing technology increases efficiency. Notably, chitosan is not only environmentally friendly but also enhances safety for personnel compared to many traditional treatment chemicals.

HydroBox

HydroBox doses chitosan for effective flocculation and precipitation, enabling stable treatment of turbid water and particle‑bound contaminants on site.

Sludge treatment

Suspended solids form sludge that must be handled safely and efficiently — explore the sludge‑management technologies we use in our treatment systems.

Sedimentation

Sedimentation lets suspended particles settle and separate from the water. We use both sedimentation containers and lamella clarifiers for efficient removal.

pH Adjustment

The automated pH adjustment system creates optimal conditions for flocculation and precipitation, using CO₂ to safely reach the required pH level.

BioMedia® filters

Gravity filters with BioMedia® effectively remove heavy metals and reduce a wide range of organic contaminants, from oil‑based to chlorinated.

Physical filtration

In certain applications, we use pressurized filters filled with sand or glass media. Their main advantage is that they can be cleaned and reused through backwashing.

From start to finish

Here is how the process works when you order a solution:

  • Step 1: Initiate contact and share details about the project and the specific water treatment requirements.
  • Step 2: The project documentation, investigations, and specified conditions are reviewed. If water samples are available, treatment tests are performed in the laboratory.
  • Step 3: A treatment system is proposed, properly sized for the project and designed to meet the required discharge limits.
  • Step 4: The Swedish Hydro Solutions team installs the equipment. During the installation phase, the client receives training on how to operate the system. Regular site visits are carried out to calibrate instruments and supply the necessary treatment chemicals.
  • Step 5: Swedish Hydro Solutions’ involvement extends throughout the entire project lifecycle, including planning, commissioning, ongoing support, and potential demobilization.
