PhD project: Removal of organic micropollutants at Swedish WWTPs
This is the PhD project of Maja Ekblad. Maja is an industrial PhD student at Sweden Water Research and Lund University.
Our projects
Sweden Water Research conducts research into water and develops new, effective solutions to meet the future challenges facing the water services industry.
We create, run, participate in and initiate projects that seek out suitable partnerships, with the ultimate aim of increasing knowledge of successful methods for the development and climate change adaptation of the cities of the future. Projects within Sweden Water Research are run in close collaboration with the owner municipalities and will, in either the short or the long term, benefit day-to-day operations.

Super Quality Measuring Sites
This project has been a continuation on the work already done on the topic of “Super quality measuring sites”.
Evaluation of the bacterial content in sediments in connection to bathing water quality
This was Ellinor Frank's PhD project. Ellinor was an industrial PhD student at Sweden Water Research and Lund University.
Carescape of blue-green solutions in everyday life: Exploring the socio-materiality of a technical infrastructure
This is Misagh Mottaghi’s PhD project. Misagh is an industrial PhD student at Sweden Water Research and doing her PhD at the Department of Architecture and Built Environment at Lund University.
Microplastics in urban waters
This is the PhD project of Emma Fältström. Emma is an industrial PhD student at Sweden Water Research and Linköping University.
ÖreWise
ÖReWise's main purpose was to form the basis for the development and implementation of solutions in climate adaptation with a focus on a holistic view for the region.
RörANN
This work kick-started AI (artificial intelligence) for pipe management among Swedish water utilities.
Sustainable management of urban flooding
Urban flooding is an increasing problem, both in Sweden and in the world. One reason is climate change, but the main reasons are that our societies are not designed to handle extreme downpours. It is also unclear which public bodies are responsible for minimizing the risks.
Removal of pharmaceutical residues in aerobic granular sludge and activated sludge – a comparison study in full-scale
Approximately half of the micropollutants in municipal wastewater are removed in wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) through adsorption or biological degradation. However, the knowledge about this removal is inadequate.
FramBliK – The future biofilm process, still with continuous operation
Many municipal wastewater treatment plants are facing expansion and reconstruction. Lack of space and requirements for sustainability mean that compact, resource-efficient, environmentally friendly and cost-effective solutions are in demand. This project is about investigating a new biofilm process, with a bio-based carrier, to assess whether this process can be a viable alternative in future wastewater treatment plants.
ELSA – Efficient aeration at the Swedish wastewater treatment plants
Previous studies show that the potential to make municipal wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) more energy efficient is great. The largest energy use at WWTPs is found in the aeration of the biological processes in the wastewater treatment.
Ideal Carbon Utilisation (ICU)
This was Elin Ossiansson's PhD project. Elin was an industrial PhD student working for Sweden Water Research, VA SYD and Chalmers University of Technology.
