Invitation to GreenNano Conference on Innovative Stormwater Management

21 Nov. 2017 10:00 – 22 Nov. 2017 15:00 , Näringslivets hus, Storgatan 19, 114 51 Stockholm:

In November, a stormwater conference will be organized, linked to the Vinnova funded project GreenNano. The venue for the conference is the House of Industry and Commerce (Näringslivets Hus) in Stockholm.

7.5 billion temperature indications to find I/I

Inflow and infiltration (I/I) to wastewater pipes causes various adverse effects, including increased risk of untreated wastewater disposal, increased wastewater treatment, reduced wastewater treatment efficiency, increased costs of pumping water for transportation and in wastewater treatment plants. Sometimes it is a challenging task to find the cause of I/I, so a newly developed technology called Distributed Temperature Sensing (DTS) was tested in a STormwater&Sewers projects together with Skellefteå municipality.

Can plant species selection improve biofilter performance?

Stormwater is often discharged into receiving waters without proper treatment. On its way over our anthropogenic shaped landscapes, rainwater collects organic and inorganic substances as well as microorganisms. Depending on concentration and type of contaminates, stormwater can become dangerous for the receiving aquatic ecosystems and further affect human well-being.
