Redefining Water Purification

As urban areas grow and climate change intensifies, the need for effective stormwater management has never been more critical. Hjallerup, Denmark, is leading the way with a cutting-edge system from Uponor Infra. The installation of advanced Vortex stormwater chambers is revolutionizing water purification, ensuring cleaner water and setting a new standard for sustainability.


Peter Winther Hamborg, Technical Project Manager, shares his thoughts:

"We have been looking for a solution that combines effective water purification with cost efficiency. The new system from Uponor achieves both. Moreover, it’s incredibly user-friendly. Automatic monitoring alerts a sewer service company, which then dispatches a vacuum truck to empty the chambers. It’s as straightforward as it gets!"

The Vortex chambers are designed to capture sediments and pollutants, preventing harmful substances from entering Denmark’s natural water bodies.
 

Strategic Design for Better Results

In Hjallerup, the chambers are strategically placed upstream of a wet stormwater basin, treating runoff from a 20-hectare urban catchment area. By purifying stormwater before it reaches the basin, the system reduces maintenance costs and enhances performance.

Peter Winther Hamborg explains:

"Previously, we treated the water after it passed through the basin. With the new Vortex chambers, treatment begins upstream. This improves purification and makes maintenance more efficient and cost-effective."

 



The Stormwise Vision

The Vortex chambers are part of Uponor Infra’s Stormwise Solution, launched to address the growing demand for efficient stormwater treatment. Morten Albér Christensen, Stormwater Specialist at Uponor Infra, highlights the vision:

"Our goal is to create sustainable, practical products that help utility companies manage increasing stormwater volumes. The Vortex chambers significantly enhance the quality of water released back into nature."


The Hjallerup project demonstrates how innovative technologies and strategic design are transforming stormwater management. By prioritizing efficiency and environmental stewardship, the Vortex chambers provide a blueprint for sustainable urban water solutions.
