Purpose and goal
** Denna text är maskinöversatt ** The project developed a test bed to test filters and create a consumer-driven certification system to ensure that filters purify what is promised and that they do so in a sustainable way. Norrtälje municipality has 30,000 individual wells with varying drinking water quality, therefore we developed together with other actors and with funding by VINNOVA a unique test rig for developing and certifying filters.
Expected results and effects
The greatest environmental benefit is to ensure clean drinking water for households from sources where there is a risk of contamination or where water is already contaminated. The need for bottled water is reduced and less high-quality sources can be used more efficiently. The outcome will be evident when we get filter manufacturers to test their products. So far we have not. A subproject that was left aside was business development itself, because when conducting workshops with filter manufacturers we realized that the market is too immature to be able to start the certification.
Planned approach and implementation
** Denna text är maskinöversatt ** The project was based on the fact that Norrtälje municipality leased a closed water works to the project and that the plant provided enough water for the purpose, this could be achieved. The project developed a system for mixing various parameters in drinking water that would be used as intended contaminants that would be purified with the tested filters. different levels. The business development of the certification body should be a larger project.
