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.

Emissions of the very potent greenhouse gas nitrous oxide contribute often very much to the sum of greenhouse gas emissions from wastewater treatment with enhanced biological nitrogen removal. The Danish project LaGas aims to identify, implement and validate new control strategies to mitigate nitrous oxide emissions in wastewater treatment.
During the years 2012-2016, VA SYD carried out a pilot project to study the introduction of anaerobic ammonium oxidation (anammox) to make the nitrogen removal in the mainstream more efficient at the Sjölunda Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP).
Open (blue-green) stormwater solutions get more common and are about to play a central role in the management of stormwater in Sweden and other countries in the world. However, there is a need for evaluation of existing systems and to find out what role the system plays in the overall management of the city's water. It is also considered to examine the importance of systems with regard to the quantity and quality of the stormwater that reaches the recipient.
The project aims to collect and analyze different types of urban landscapes which are capable to adapt to climate change. The project concentrates on urban landscape and the opportunities it offers to cities in overcoming the water challenges. The focus is gaining more knowledge on design based techniques to make the cities more sustainable and resilient towards climate changes and the consequences.
Wastewater treatment is an important function of society, and one that confronts many challenges. The project, “The Warm and Clean City” is developing and testing new total solutions for the world’s wastewater treatment plants. The solutions are resource-efficient and facilitate utilizing substances in the wastewater for generating saleable products, while at the same time closing the water and nutrient loops.
