About Us
Who are we?
Clean water - for a sustainable future
Nordisk Vannteknikk is a major supplier of water purification solutions for a wide range of industries.
Since its founding in 2004, Nordisk Vannteknikk has been driven by a deep commitment to the environment. Clean water is essential to our existence, and it remains the driving force behind everything we do—every process, every single day. Built from the ground up, Nordisk Vannteknikk has grown into a leading expertise company, providing consulting services as well as mobile and stationary water treatment solutions for a wide range of industries, including mechanical manufacturing, construction, food production, landfills, car washes, and more.
​
Our dedicated service team handles installation, maintenance, operations, and water sampling. With in-house expertise, we can analyze water samples and provide tailored recommendations based on the results. We also supply polymers, activated carbon, and other essential consumables for water treatment processes. Thanks to our warehouse in Drammen, we ensure fast delivery times on all products.
What do we do?
As a full-service provider of water treatment solutions, Nordisk Vannteknikk offers everything from consulting and design to installation, maintenance, and essential consumables.
​
With extensive experience across a wide range of industries, we have tackled diverse water treatment challenges and developed effective solutions to meet even the most demanding requirements.
PFAS
PFAS (per- and polyfluorinated alkyl substances) are a group of fluorinated compounds that have been used in various products since the 1950s, including Teflon-coated cookware, firefighting foam, and Gore-Tex membranes. As a result, PFAS are widely present in nature, as well as in humans and animals. Because these substances degrade extremely slowly, their concentrations continue to rise over time.
​
PFAS pose risks to both the environment and human and animal health, making it crucial to prevent their further accumulation. Through sedimentation with Polyclay and absorption using activated carbon, Nordisk Vannteknikk effectively captures PFAS from water, significantly reducing its environmental impact.
Nitrogen
The Oslo Fjord is facing rising nitrogen levels, primarily due to runoff from agricultural fields and farms, but also from explosives used in tunnel construction. Elevated nitrogen concentrations in fjords and seas can lead to excessive algae growth, which, in the worst case, can result in ecological collapse.
​
It is therefore crucial to prevent nitrogen from agriculture and development from entering waterways. Nordisk Vannteknikk offers the solution to address this challenge.
Lechate
When rainwater and surface water flow through landfills or other contaminated areas, there is a significant risk that pollutants will be carried into the groundwater. Groundwater is used for various purposes, including as a source of drinking water.
​
Nordisk Vannteknikk has extensive experience in treating harmful contamination from leachate at landfills. Leachate can be difficult to treat due to the rapidly changing nature of the contamination, but we have developed methods that effectively reduce PFAS, suspended solids, and other pollutants from the leachate.
Research & development
Our primary goal is to deliver solutions that work. To achieve this, we are constantly engaged in research and development of new technologies and methods, ensuring we find the best solutions across various fields. In our laboratory, our chemical engineer tests different chemicals and their combinations. We also focus on developing new mechanical solutions and biological processes.
​
Additionally, we are fortunate to collaborate with several outstanding partners on a wide range of projects. With each new project, our first priority is to test and develop various methods to ensure the best possible results for every project.
Clean water
-​ for a sustainable future.
Nordisk Vannteknikk is, above all, an environmental company. Our vision is a sustainable future where we protect the environment and our planet for both present and future generations. After all, what could be more essential to sustainability than clean water?
Recycling and Sustainability
Extreme drought and water shortages have become a pressing issue in recent years, and the problem is only growing—even in Norway. One of the most crucial steps we can take is to reduce our consumption of clean water.
​
The potential for reusing treated water is significant, and Nordisk Vannteknikk has already integrated water reuse into several of our treatment plants. Many of these facilities meet the strict requirements of the Nordic Swan Ecolabel, and an increasing number of our plants are designed with reuse as a core focus.
​
The growing interest in reuse extends beyond water. We are actively exploring ways to repurpose materials extracted during the purification process, such as sludge. While sludge is traditionally landfilled, we are continuously working to develop sustainable alternatives. We have already successfully repurposed biological sludge for fertilizer and biogas production, and we see great potential for reusing other types of sludge. For instance, sludge from tunnel water treatment is being evaluated for use in concrete production. Our ultimate goal is to make water purification a fully circular process.
