Say hello to our new board!
The board consists of the following individuals, as of June 12 2023.
ICU – improved carbon utilization in a smaller footprint
In the research project ICU, industrial PhD student Elin Ossiansson is testing a new process combination for more efficient wastewater treatment, aiming to generate an equal amount of biogas from the sludge but with reduced energy consumption. After two years of pilot testing at the Källby wastewater treatment plant, the results are promising.
PhD project analyses Phosphorous dynamics in Vombsjön
The lake Vomb serves as the primary drinking water source for approximately 25% of the population of Scania and distributes water to the larger city Malmö.
Welcome Ellen!
Ellen Edefell starts as a project manager at Sweden Water Research
Expression of interest – dry and pyrolyse your sludge in Testbed Ellinge
In August 2023, the pilot facility within the Testbed Ellinge project will begin its operation. The project is now looking for interested wastewater utilities that want to send their sludge to the facility.
EBI is working to include sludge biochar in the FPR
Since the summer of 2022, the EU's Fertilising Products Regulation (FPR) has been in place for fertilisers within the EU. Sewage sludge as a substrate for pyrolysis which can then be used as fertilizer, sludge biochar, is not included in the FPR. The European Biochar Industry (EBI) has now published a position paper regarding the pyrolysis of sewage sludge and sludge biochar.
What happens during the “microbial bus journey”?
Imagine that the water drop is like a bus and the bacteria are its passengers. In our project The microbial bus journey we have investigated whether or not the same groups of bacteria remain in the bus from the water treatment plant to the last stop on the journey.
New phd students: Sara Roth and Ashley Hall
During the autumn, Sweden Water Research welcomed phd students Ashley Hall and Sara Roth.
First study visit to Testbed Ellinge completed!
Testbed Ellinge has now organised its first study visit. A study trip to Sweden within the Food & Bio Cluster Denmark, this time with a focus on biochar, was carried out on 26-27 October.
Summary of the 1st SCSSB
On October 11-12, Testbed Ellinge organised the 1st Swedish Conference on Sewage Sludge Biochar in Malmö. The conference attracted 122 people from 14 different countries.
Meet us at the World Water Congress & Exhibition
We have been waiting, and finally! Four intense days of connecting the water business from the whole world are approaching. Let's meet in Copenhagen for seminars, poster sessions, workshops, networking, exhibition and technical tours. We look forward to meeting you there.
Knowledge and results after three years with the FanpLESStic-Sea project
Microplastics are all around us, but the understanding about sources and pathways of microplastics must increase. Focus of the FanpLESStic-Sea project has been to raise knowledge and decreasing the microplastic pollution in the Baltic Sea.
