Modernising wastewater treatment in Poltava Ukraine

Sector: Circular Solutions
Status: Active

The proposed project is focused on modernising the city’s wastewater treatment and collection systems, for example by re-designing treatment processes and replacing equipment.

The city of Poltava in Ukraine suffers from frequent wastewater service outages. During these outages, the city is forced to cut off water supply to citizens. The project owner’s goals are to improve the system’s reliability and resilience and to improve the quality of the wastewater effluent in compliance with EU requirements.
