14 business partners have joined together in an EU project to create "Water Living Lab" - an interdisciplinary knowledge and innovation environment that provides the opportunity to develop, test and demonstrate water technology solutions that support a sustainable and resource-conscious supply.

HeyPipe™ is a new digital platform that across all supply types gives unique 3D documentation of the underground infrastructure. Aarhus Vand has founded the company in order to receive better and more valid data.

Aarhus Vand has established a leak detection field. Water operators can train and become educated in finding leaks in water pipes. The field also works as a test and demonstration of Danish water technology.

The new company Utilizero is a partnership between Aarhus Vand and DHI. It has been established to help utilities reduce carbon emissions and energy usage at wastewater treatment facilities from the solid experiences and solutions for automated process management, we have here in Denmark.

At Aarhus Vand we are very engaged in business creation and how to improve areas within the field of water supply. Therefore, we created the company DRYP together with MONTEM.

Water utilities in Denmark are struggling with rising problems of hydrogen sulphide in the sewers. To solve these problems, Aarhus Vand has partnered up with Envidan and made a sustainable filter that uses mussel shells to break down the hydrogen sulphide without chemicals.

At Aarhus Vand, one of our primary focuses is on developing new and innovative solutions to improve the sustainability and efficiency of the water sector.

The company Zediment delivers drone-based scannings of the capacity of reservoirs at wastewater treatment plants and in stormwater basins. This solution is the first of its kind and can save the water utility huge operational costs.

Total energy renovation of the treatment plant at Egaa, just outside Aarhus, means that Aarhus Vand is setting new standards for developing treatment plants from energy guzzlers into energy producers.

The new and improved Bederværket is built as an integrated part of the surrounding areas. With this new facility, it is possible for the public to follow the way of the water – from groundwater to tap water.

Up to 10,000 households’ washing machines and toilets in the suburb Nye – near the city of Aarhus - will soon use rainwater instead of drinking water. This is estimated to cut water consumption by as much as 40 percent.

Water managers often lack coherent and updated information that clarifies the complex water system interactions to a degree where vital correlations and dependencies are known and understood.

At Aaby and Marselisborg Wastewater Treatment Plants we have extracted phosphorus from the wastewater. Over a decade this has been sold as a valuable fertiliser under the name PhosphorCare.
