Long-term interest becomes delivery project

Xzero has contracted AFRY to support the company in the development of a pilot installation at a customer´s premises. The project takes place during spring where AFRY supports Xzero with a 4-man team with skills in process design, pure water, project management and 3D modelling. AFRY has good experience of pure water in “food and pharma” and is what Xzero considers best in Sweden in this respect.

“We found out quite quickly that the water we work with is about 500 times cleaner than what AFRY has worked with before, but there is still a lot of basic work they can support us in,” says Xzero’s CEO Andreas Törnblom.

The customer in question is a world-leading semiconductor manufacturer in the United States with which Xzero has had a 20-year relationship, and a year ago Xzero was invited to participate in their internal process for discovering, testing, and acquiring new technology.

“This is a major accomplishment for us and proves that we have something unique to offer. At the beginning of our relationship, we heard that we have a good product, but that it is not needed at present because existing technology was “good enough”. Obviously, they think that the day when they need our water will soon be here since they let us into the their process”, Andreas continues.
