After ten years in Gothenburg on the Swedish West Coast, it is now time to (again) experience Uppsala on the East Coast. Having only good memories from a summer spent in Uppsala back in 2010, when I first came to Sweden, I am looking forward to work at SLU’s Environmental Engineering Group. Through my work,… Continue reading Robin Harder, new postdoc to work on nutrient recovery and reuse from a systems perspective

New publication on fate of Ascaris at various pH, temperature and moisture levels
A new study assessed the inactivation of Ascaris eggs under various conditions and observed that the exposure of Ascaris eggs to elevated pH (10.5–12.5) at temperatures <27.5 °C for >70 days had no effect on egg viability. To accelerate the inactivation of STH, an increase in the treatment temperature is more effective than pH increase.… Continue reading New publication on fate of Ascaris at various pH, temperature and moisture levels

Process efficiency and ventilation requirement in BSFL composting of substrates with high water content
Our latest publication on BSFL composting entitled Process efficiency and ventilation requirement in black soldier fly larvae composting of substrates with high water content has been recently published in Science of the Total Environment. In this study we investigated the impact on increasing substrate water content on the process efficiency in black soldier fly larvae… Continue reading Process efficiency and ventilation requirement in BSFL composting of substrates with high water content
New Publication on drying human urine using different alkaline media & temperatures
In a study recently published in Science of the Total Environment, we present results from a study that investigated drying of fresh source-separated human urine in five different alkaline media (pH > 11) at elevated temperatures (50 and 60 °C) with minimal loss of urea, urine’s principal nitrogen compound. We found that it was possible to concentrate urine 48… Continue reading New Publication on drying human urine using different alkaline media & temperatures
