LiqTech wins biggest QlariFlow pool project in Den Helder

By AI, Created 9:13 AM UTC, May 19, 2026, /AGP/ – LiqTech International has landed its largest commercial pool project to date with five QlariFlow systems at Aquacentrum Den Helder in the Netherlands, secured with Benelux distributor Lotec. The project extends LiqTech’s push into municipal aquatic facilities and adds another reference site for its ceramic membrane filtration platform.

Why it matters: - LiqTech is using larger public-pool installations to expand QlariFlow from niche deployments into a broader commercial market. - The Den Helder project adds a municipal reference site in the BENELUX region, where operators are favoring compact, high-performance filtration systems. - The project also strengthens LiqTech’s position as it builds reference installations in the Netherlands, the U.S. and Australia.

What happened: - LiqTech International announced its largest commercial pool project to date at Aquacentrum Den Helder in the Netherlands. - The installation includes five QlariFlow systems and two AutoCIP units. - The project was secured with Lotec, LiqTech’s exclusive distributor for pool solutions in the BENELUX region. - The first three systems were installed in January 2026. - The remaining systems are scheduled for installation in August 2026.

The details: - The full project uses 56 silicon carbide membranes. - Aquacentrum Den Helder is a municipal aquatic facility with limited space and restricted access. - QlariFlow was selected because the system can fit compact, constrained sites while maintaining filtration performance and operational reliability. - LiqTech says QlariFlow uses ceramic membrane technology to provide precise filtration and stable water quality while reducing reliance on chemical-intensive processes. - The system is designed for public and commercial pool environments and for long-term operation. - Under a formal distribution agreement, Lotec handles system design, engineering and project execution for LiqTech pool solutions across BENELUX.

Between the lines: - The Den Helder win suggests municipal pool operators are prioritizing footprint, access and reliability over traditional filtration approaches. - LiqTech is pairing regional distributors with larger reference projects to make ceramic membrane filtration easier to adopt in regulated aquatic facilities. - The company is also signaling that QlariFlow can compete in multiple markets, not just one-off specialty installations.

What’s next: - LiqTech expects continued adoption across municipal and commercial pool projects in the BENELUX region, according to Lotec leadership. - The company is also pointing to recent and upcoming reference projects in the U.S. and Australia as evidence of a growing global pipeline. - LiqTech recently secured its first U.S. commercial pool order for three QlariFlow systems at Weston County School District #1 Aquatic Center in Newcastle, Wyoming, with installation planned through Treatment Specialties, Powered by North American Filtration. - LiqTech also secured a record order for 10 QlariFlow systems at Plumpton Aquatic and Leisure Centre in Victoria, Australia, with Waterco Limited. - That Australian project is targeting 5 Star Green Star certification and is expected to become Australia’s first community aquatic centre using LiqTech ceramic membrane filters.

The bottom line: - Den Helder is LiqTech’s clearest sign yet that QlariFlow is moving from pilot-scale interest to repeatable commercial pool deployments.
