Vad larver behöver
I vår studie, som just publicerats i Journal of Cleaner Production, var vi intresserade av att förstå hur substratet (det vi ger till larverna) påverkar effektiviteten av fluglarvskomposteringen vad gäller bioomvandlingsfaktorn (hur mycket av ursprungsmaterialet som omvandlas till larvbiomassa), tiden det tar för larverna att utvecklas och larvernas överlevnadsgrad. Vi jämförde processeffektiviteten av nio olika… Continue reading Vad larver behöver
What larvae need
In our study just published in Journal of Cleaner Production we were interested in finding out what how the larval feedstock affect the efficiency of the black soldier fly larvae (BSFL) composting process in terms of biomass conversion ratio, larval development and larval survival. We compared the process efficiency of nine different feedstocks and two… Continue reading What larvae need
Björn Vinnerås besök på UTAR i Kampar Malaysia
Jag har varit på Universiti Tunku Abdul Rahman som extern examinator vid fakulteten för ingenjörsvetenskap och grön teknik för att utvärdera deras magisterutbildning och doktorandutbildning i ingenjörsvetenskap. Där fick jag chansen att se en god struktur på deras utbildning och läsa om många intressanta projekt som genomförs på fakulteten. Bland deras projekt var det intressant… Continue reading Björn Vinnerås besök på UTAR i Kampar Malaysia

Finnish delegation visits SLU to discuss on-site urine treatment
Last week our group hosted a delegation of stakeholders from Finland, representing between them the City of Tampere, The Finnish Environment Institute, The Global Dry Toilet Association of Finland and Tampere University of Applied Sciences. They were at SLU to discuss their ongoing projects, MORTTI – mobile nutrient recovery under field conditions and HIERAKKA –… Continue reading Finnish delegation visits SLU to discuss on-site urine treatment
Ett masterprojekt om fettsyresammansättningen av den amerikanska vapenflugans larver har påbörjats
Jag heter Nils Ewald, och är en av de senaste tillskotten i Black Soldier Fly-gruppen på institutionen. Under hösten kommer jag göra mitt examensarbete som en avslutning på Agronomprogrammet i Livsmedelsvetenskap här på SLU. Som livsmedels-student känns det väldigt intressant att få arbeta med insekter som mat och foder, ett ämne som diskuterats flitigt på… Continue reading Ett masterprojekt om fettsyresammansättningen av den amerikanska vapenflugans larver har påbörjats
New Masters project on fatty acid composition in BSF larvae and substrates
I’m Nils Ewald, one of the latest master students to join the Black Soldier Fly team at the department. I’m currently doing my last year at the Agriculture program in Food Science here at SLU. As a student in food science it is very interesting to be able to dig into the widely discussed field… Continue reading New Masters project on fatty acid composition in BSF larvae and substrates

Implementation of demonstration biochar filter for small-scale sewage treatment funded by Swedish EPA
The Swedish Environmental Protection Agency decided to grant Sahar Dalahmeh, a researcher at the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences, 475 000 SEK to implement demonstration biochar filter for Small-scale Sewage Treatment”. The project intends to scale the laboratory system to full scale module to treat single- household wastewater. Within the project, system’s function and treatment… Continue reading Implementation of demonstration biochar filter for small-scale sewage treatment funded by Swedish EPA
