Current research projects on small SANITATION SYSTEMS

Greywater for REuse: Where, why and how? (2022-2027)

In this project we investigate greywater reuse focusing on the sustainability transition process in utilities, micropollutant occurrence and removal for safe reuse and decision support in form of systems analysis. The work is funded by The Swedish Research Council (Formas).

Instructions for operation and maintenance of on-site soil-based wastewater treatment (2022-2023)

In this project we investigate to what extent instruction for operation and maintenance of on-site sand filters and infiltration fields are available and evaluate if there is a need for modification of the guidance for supervision of onsite systems, the systems’ instructions and / or design.

Creaternity – sustainable material use in a connected and circular economy (2020-...)

The transition to a sustainable industry provides opportunities to think new and thus develop the whole society. The latest technology in artificial intelligence, telecommunications and sensor technology allows us to connect people, products and processes.

Sustainable URban FERtilizer – SURFER (2021-2024)

Within the SURFER project we are contributing with new knowledge for development of safe treatment and recycling of nutrients from blackwater, for production of a sustainable urban fertilizer.

Grab sampling from on-site wastewater treatment facilities: variability and correlations (2019-2022)

In this project we evaluate results from grab sampling of package plants to study the variability among grab samples as well as potential correlations between different parameters. The project is funded by the Swedish Agency for Marine and Water Management, the European Regional Development Fund and...

WAVE2 – Greywater Management for Water Re-Use (2021-2023)

The vision of WAVE2 is to implement an integrated system that circulates greywater and meets the water demand of different end users through the production of fit-for-purpose water for irrigation, drinking water and groundwater recharge. The project is funded by the Swedish Research Council Formas w...

MACRO – Food in circular robust systems (2020-2022)

In the MACRO project large-scale source-separating wastewater systems and their implementation in urban areas are investigated. The work is led by Stockholm municipality and funded by Vinnova. The knowledge and experiences gained from this project will be implemented into the course “Resource-effici...

The untapped potential of greywater: Decentralised treatment for blue-green urban spaces (2019-2023)

The untapped potential of greywater: Decentralised treatment and use for blue-green public spaces

Constructed wetlands for wastewater treatment: Adaptation to cold climate (2020-2023)

This project investigates the suitability of using a two-stage vertical-flow constructed wetland as wastewater treatment method for small communities in subarctic climate. The work is funded by the Swedish Research Council Formas and the municipality of Luleå with "LOVA" funding from the regional au...

ON-SITE Small-scale wastewater treatment systems (2019-2022)

- governance, efficiency, resources recovery, environment contamination risks and innovative solutions for processes optimization
