Valmet Oyj's press release June 10, 2019 at 9:00 a.m. EET
Valmet will supply automation and solids measurements to Helsinki Region Environmental Services Authority HSY's new wastewater treatment plant, which is under construction in Espoo's Blominmäki bedrock in Finland.
The order was placed by Are, the main technical building contractor of the project. The main project contractor is YIT. The order was included in Valmet's first quarter 2019 orders received. The value of the order is not disclosed. Delivery will take place in 2020-2021 and commissioning in 2021-2022.

Information about the customer HSY and the Blominmäki bedrock treatment plant
Helsinki Region Environmental Services Authority HSY is a municipal body that produces waste management and water services as well as provides information on the Helsinki Metropolitan Area and environment. Its member cities are Helsinki, Espoo, Kauniainen and Vantaa.
The Blominmäki wastewater treatment plant will replace the current Suomenoja wastewater treatment plant, whose capacity is no longer sufficient to treat the entire area's wastewater due to population growth and higher expectations for intensified wastewater treatment.
