{UAH} Henriksdal underground Wastewater Treatment Plant, Stockholm

https://youtu.be/BoGnLCwH3eQ

Henriksdal wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) is located on the boundary between Stockholm and Nacka, approximately 2km from Slussen, Sweden. It currently serves approximately one million people in Stockholm and Huddinge, including Haninge, Nacka and Tyresö municipalities.

Operated by Stockholm Vatten (the Stockholm Water Company), the facility is one of the world's biggest underground WWTP and covers a total area of 300,000m³ with 18km of associated tunnels and a wastewater treatment capacity of roughly 250,000m³ a day. The sludge produced from the plant is treated at the neighbouring facility in Sickla.

Stockholm Vatten has proposed a major expansion and renovation for the WWTP in order to meet the city's growing population and enable the city to close down the Bromma WWTP, which is causing an obstruction to create more homes in western Stockholm. The project will enable the city to meet the effluent requirements set under the Baltic Sea Action Plan (BSAP) and EU water directive.

Integrating GE's proprietary LEAPmbr technology, the WWTP will be the world's biggest facility implementing the membrane bioreactor (MBR) technology when the project is realised in 2018. Construction works on the SKr5.94bn ($689.5m) are scheduled to start in 2016.
