Sewage sludge spreading on arable land – PFAS in sludge, soil, crop and earthworm
Is the use of municipal sewage sludge on arable land a spreading route for PFAS?
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.

Residues to best use – biochar as solution and product in the circular and climate positive society
Pyrolysis of dried sewage sludge generates a sludge biochar that can be used in several applications. VA SYD participates in the project Residues to best use to increase its knowledge about biochar and its possibilities.
Arena for testbeds in nutrient recovery from wastewater streams
Seven water and wastewater service organisations, together with two research institutes, have evaluated the conditions for opening up municipally owned wastewater treatment plants to test techniques for recovering nutrients from wastewater streams.
REWAISE
REWAISE is one of five innovation projects supported by the Horizon 2020 framework program. The goal is to reduce the use of drinking water and use water in a smarter and more efficient way.
HÅVA – Sustainability Analysis for Wastewater Heat Recovery
Can heat recovery be implemented on a large scale without unacceptable impact on the wastewater system and the environment?
Uricycle
The conventional municipal wastewater systems recover only a small part of the plant nutrients found in the wastewater to farmland. The purpose of the project is to gather important stakeholders in the flow of nutrients from the households to farmland to assess the potential and, hopefully, further develop a urine separation system that has been developed by SLU.
URINITE – Stabilisation of urine by nitrification
The urine separation systems of the future will include volume reduction to further decrease transport and storage needs and to obtain a more concentrated fertiliser. Stabilisation of the urine is required to not lose the nitrogen through ammonia volatilization during the volume reduction treatment. Nitrification is a promising method for stabilising urine.
