We treat wastewater for 1.2 million people in the Copenhagen metropolitan area at our three treatment plants: Lynetten, Avedøre and Damhusåen.
The wastewater is treated for organic and in-organic solids together with nitrogen and phosporous.
The treated wastewater from Lynetten and Damhusåen is channelled out into the Sound via two 1.5 km-long marine outfalls. Treated wastewater from Avedøre is channelled out into Køge Bay via two 1.1 km-long marine outfalls.
