Mayors visiting
This week, Testbed Ellinge has received two study visits, one from the Interreg project ISMA and one from the Ukrainian city of Khotyn and the municipality of Eslöv.
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.
New Working Method to Achieve New Results
Can a design sprint address society’s need to purify, manage, and utilise stormwater?
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.
