Svensk Technical Tour fredag den 16/9

Get the most out of your Nordic IWA2022 experience with a one-day visit to Sweden on Friday 16 September. At this tour, you will visit the cities of Malmö, Lund and Helsingborg and three exciting urban development areas where we work with storm- and wastewater in new and innovative ways.

The first stop and second stop in the programme are connected to the project REWAISE. We will visit the newly built wooden parking building in Sege Park, Malmö, where storm water is collected for watering the green walls of the climate neutral building. The next stop is the Brunnshög park area in Lund which is planned with sustainability and climate adaptation in focus and where we are testing membrane technique to purify storm water for new uses.

The third stop is Helsingborg city where we have lunch and visit RecoLab. It’s a Living Lab focusing on urban development around water and sewerage, waste, energy and recycling. Recolab is the largest source-separated sanitation plant in the world using circular treatment to efficiently recycle greywater, blackwater and food waste. It is also one of the three nominees for the Global Water Awards 2022.
