We can now begin sampling the wetland in the Värpinge pilot!
During week 35, construction began on the first parts of the pilot in Värpinge, as part of the ISWIM project. This means we can now measure and monitor the flow of stormwater and the pollutants entering the stormwater facility.
We’re now installing the pilot!
Last week, construction began on the first components of the pilot in Värpinge, as part of the ISWIM project. This means we can now measure and monitor the flow of stormwater entering the stormwater facility.
The pilot plant at Testbed Ellinge handed over to VA SYD
During the spring and summer, we have been working on fine-tuning the pilot plant operation. On 15 July, the supplier Aquagreen handed over the plant to VA SYD.
Construction to Begin After Summer – ISWIM Takes the Next Step
Planning permission has now been granted! Construction of the pilot facility for the ISWIM project will begin after the summer – a key step towards the future of stormwater treatment.
New project! DT-N2O – Quantifying and minimising nitrous oxide emissions at wastewater treatment plants with digital twins
The project will build a digital twin, an automated process model, for the Käppala Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) in Stockholm. The twin is used to quantify and minimise greenhouse gas emissions (mainly nitrous oxide).
Open position within Opti-SITE: Postdoctoral position in Water Resources Engineering at Lund University
Opti-SITE is an important part of the work to create climate-adapted and sustainable stormwater management in cities.
Ronja Nybom, our new PhD student
”I look forward to delving deeper into water purification research, testing known methods, and developing new ones", Ronja comments her new job.
Testbed Ellinge is now producing sludge biochar
Since January 14, Testbed Ellinge has produced fourteen different sludge biochars from five different wastewater treatment plants at pyrolysis temperatures between 500-900 °C.
ISWIM’s Testbed Takes Shape, Constructed Wetland in Place
In western Lund, the research project ISWIM is building a testbed for innovative stormwater treatment solutions. The first stage consists of a constructed wetland, which is now complete.
New project: Opti-SITE
We are delighted that the Opti-SITE project has been granted funding from Interreg Öresund-Kattegat-Skagerrak. Utilising high-resolution radar data and AI, it will play a crucial role in efforts to develop climate-adapted and sustainable stormwater infrastructure in urban areas.
ISWIM Focuses on the Future of Stormwater Treatment – PFAS in the Spotlight
The ISWIM project has now established the framework for its pilot at the Värpinge wetland in Lund. The focus is on addressing the challenging and partly unknown pollutants found in stormwater, with a particular emphasis on PFAS.
Encouraging News from Water Wise Societies: Funding Granted for New Projects
“The Water-Smart Society’s Recycled Water System” and “From Analog to Digital in the World of Microbes” have been awarded funding, with project leadership from RISE and Sweden Water Research, alongside two other projects in which we are participants but not primary actors.
