Added sludge biochar for thermophilic digestion – does it do any good?
On June 3, Aashutosh Kumar Thakus presented his degree project "Investigating the Impact of Sewage Sludge Biochar on Biogas Production in Thermophilic Anaerobic Digestion" at Chalmers University of Technology.
Say hello to Victoria, our new Project Developer!
The opportunity to work on and develop something as important as the future of water services attracted Victoria Rydengård to the role of project developer at Sweden Water Research.
This Year’s Urban Swimming Water Measurements Completed
The summer data collection has now been completed, and the next step is to analyse it. Together with data from previous years, it will form the basis for developing an AI model that can predict bathing water quality and issue warnings about potential problems in advance.
Status pilot plant
At the beginning of the summer, Aquagreen began to test the various plant parts and right now the dryer is being tested. Unfortunately, the pilot plant is still not operational. The latest schedule says the pilot will be handed over to VA SYD in the last week of October 2024.
The wetland has been fully excavated!
Well, almost. The pre-sedimentation basin is also complete.
Welcome Carolina!
We're happy to welcome Carolina Suarez as a project manager at Sweden Water Research.
Activated sludge biochar as an adsorbent for organic micropollutants – a first attempt
On May 30, Veronika Jörntell presented her Master´s degree project "Sludge biochar as an adsorbent for pharmaceutical residues in wastewater" at Lund University.
Time for DISCO!
What do we actually use our drinking water for? How much do we drink, how much is flushed down the toilet, and how much is used for personal hygiene?
Specialist in material characterisation on visit
On 8 April, Nils Skoglund, senior lecturer at the Thermochemical Energy Conversion Laboratory at Umeå University, visited the pilot plant at the Ellinge Wastewater Treatment Plant.
The 2nd Sewage Sludge Biochar conference is looking for speakers!
The 2nd Swedish Conference on Sewage Sludge Biochar will be arranged 15-17 October 2024 in Malmö, Sweden. We are now looking for speakers and exhibiting companies for the conference.
General meeting within Testbed Ellinge
A happy group from Testbed Ellinge's basic organisation gathered for a meeting in Eslöv to discuss the progress of the testbed and to visit the pilot facility.
Master thesis project on biochar in anaerobic digestion
In recent years several scientific reports indicate that the addition of biochar to anaerobic digestion can increase biogas production and improve the stability of the process.
