It includes anaerobic pretreatment and gas utilization, biological carbon and nitrogen removal and final polish before discharge to Kalundborg Municipality. The treatment capacity needs to be expanded by 50% to 3,6 mill PE by 2025. The expansion involves several new technologies including anammox, membrane bioreactors, new gas upgrade technology and tertiary treatment before discharge.
