Tel: , E-post: Henriksdalsringen 58, NACKA, Background  > 2 billion people have water shortage  Diseases due to bad water quality  Millions lack proper waste-water treatment  Deterioration of quantity and quality of natural water systems  Agriculture uses 2/3 of the water that is consumed  Increasing water demand for industrial growth  New regulations (e.g. EU)  Use of chemicals in water treatment  <1% recycling  Request of use of renewable energy sources  Sustainable growth and development  Clear link to wastewater treatment

Tel: , E-post: Henriksdalsringen 58, NACKA, What we have: A treatment facility Problems/Challenges  The water sector is a major energy user  GHG emissions  Treated water is not used  Outflows may contain pollutants, viruses, pathogens etc.  Sludge seen as a problem Wastewater in Energy in Sludge out Treated Water out GHG out

Tel: , E-post: Henriksdalsringen 58, NACKA, What we want: A production facility Opportunities  Waste as resource  Net energy production  Nutrients recovery/reuse  Improved treatment  Water reuse (non-potable reuse/augmentation of potable water)  Sustainable production of energy and resources  Market opportunitets Wastewater in Nutrients out Water reuse Energy out

Tel: , E-post: Henriksdalsringen 58, NACKA, Which way to go?  e.g. forecasted energy usage by the water sector [%] (British Council for Science & Technology 2009)  New approaches and concept shift a necessity!  This implies R&D and market opportunities !

Tel: , E-post: Henriksdalsringen 58, NACKA, Which technologies/approaches?  Resources efficient treatment technologies Soft sensors | Anaerobic treatment | Anammox | Side stream treatment | Advanced membrane technologies | Process control and modelling | …  Technologies for recovery and reuse Nutrient recovery from ashes | Nutrients in sludge/sorbent | Water reuse/ Irrigation (nutrient rich effluent) | Industrial water | Potable water | Augmentation of potable water | Removal of pharmaceuticals, pathogens, viruses etc. | Online water quality monitoring | …  Energy production & carbon neutral/negative processes Flow separation | Increased sludge production | Enhanced Sludge digestion (also co- digestion) | Sewage digestion | Gasification/burning | Microbiological fuel cell | Algae treatment | … Key ingredient: Combination and system integration with a holistic perspective of these different technologies/approaches to meet different requirements.

Tel: , E-post: Henriksdalsringen 58, NACKA, What other ingredients are needed?  Stakeholder involvement (companies, authorities, research organisations, associations, sewage plants, etc.)  Basic and applied R&D partners  Innovation Platform  Demonstrators  Approach and Knowledge Transfer Networks  Improving skills base/Education  Public dialogue/involvement  International co-operation and collaboration  Optimal if you could find all these at the same location!

Tel: , E-post: Henriksdalsringen 58, NACKA, Where can this be achieved? Hammarby Sjöstadsverk: A unique research and demonstration plant for wastewater treatment  Applied (and basic) research  Test and demonstration of new solutions  Education  Owned by KTH and IVL  Contact:
