FTD LT Cluster’s EXPO Group member Astra LT AB has secured a landmark project to manufacture over 50 advanced water treatment tanks for Copenhagen, Denmark. This prestigious order reflects Astra LT AB’s reputation for precision engineering and sustainability-driven solutions in the European market.

The project consists of 26 specialized filtration tanks, designed to purify water for household consumption, along with additional custom-built tanks and an intricate pipeline system that will integrate seamlessly with existing infrastructure. This large-scale initiative showcases Astra LT AB’s capability to execute complex and highly demanding industrial projects, reinforcing the company’s standing as a leader in the stainless steel manufacturing sector.


Meeting Denmark’s Strict Sustainability Standards

Danish clients are at the forefront of sustainability, imposing some of the strictest environmental requirements in the industry. For this project, all materials used must consist of at least 80% recycled steel, and the production process must not exceed 2,000 kg of CO2 emissions per ton of steel used. These stringent standards align with Astra LT AB’s ongoing commitment to sustainable manufacturing, energy efficiency, and reducing industrial carbon footprints.

This project marks a significant milestone for FTD LT Cluster’s EXPO Group member Astra LT AB, as it is the first time the company is working under such specific sustainability regulations. By meeting these requirements, Astra LT AB not only strengthens its expertise in eco-friendly manufacturing but also sets a precedent for future collaborations with environmentally-conscious clients across Europe.

Advanced Engineering for Critical Water Filtration

The 26 primary filtration tanks play a crucial role in water purification. These tanks will be filled with filtration-grade sand, acting as a natural filter to remove impurities from the water before it is distributed to households. The tanks incorporate precision-engineered perforated plates, fitted with high-quality plastic filters that ensure optimal filtration efficiency. Once the water passes through the sand layer, it is supplied to Copenhagen’s central water network, delivering clean and safe drinking water to thousands of residents.

FTD LT Cluster’s EXPO Group – Driving Innovation in Sustainable Manufacturing

Astra LT AB, as a key player within the FTD LT Cluster’s EXPO Group, continues to push the boundaries of high-performance, sustainable manufacturing. The company’s ability to manufacture these tanks entirely in-house, without subcontractors, demonstrates the strength of its expertise, technological advancements, and engineering capabilities.

The success of this project further cements Astra LT AB’s role as a trusted industrial partner for municipalities and industries that demand precision, quality, and environmental responsibility. By integrating innovative manufacturing processes with strict sustainability goals, Astra LT AB and the FTD LT Cluster’s EXPO Group reaffirm their leadership in the European industrial sector.

Setting New Standards in Water Treatment Solutions

This large-scale project underscores Astra LT AB’s ability to tackle complex engineering challenges and deliver high-quality, sustainable solutions that meet and exceed international standards. With the growing emphasis on green technologies and sustainable infrastructure, Astra LT AB is well-positioned to take on future projects requiring eco-conscious, high-performance industrial solutions.

By successfully meeting Denmark’s rigorous environmental and technical requirements, Astra LT AB demonstrates why it remains a preferred choice for industries looking for expertise, reliability, and sustainability-driven innovation.

The project “Development of export markets and strengthening of internationalization of the FTD LT cluster” is implemented under the Progress Facility of the European Union Funds for the period 2021-2027, Development Programme 2022-2030.
