The 5-year European H2020 Project REWAISE has just started, involving 24 partners from 11 different European countries, and is led by Aqualia. It aims to shift the paradigm from a linear to a circular, water smart economy. As a part of this project, SLU-Kretsloppsteknik is a linked third partner with the aim to build and install its… Continue reading REWAISE – the new EU H2020 project piloting urine drying in Malmö

We found a way to turn urine into solid fertiliser – it could make farming more sustainable
It’s likely that most of the food you’ll eat today was not farmed sustainably. The global system of food production is the largest human influence on the planet’s natural cycles of nitrogen and phosphorus. How much crops can grow is limited by the amount of these two elements in the soil, so they’re applied as… Continue reading We found a way to turn urine into solid fertiliser – it could make farming more sustainable

Publication on field testing alkaline urine dehydration at pilot-scale in Finland
In early 2019, we designed and installed a pilot shell system to dry fresh urine collected from about 100 toilet users each day (or a maximum of 30 liters of urine day-1). The system was implemented at a Finnish army training ground (Camp Mauri) belonging to Pori Brigade, which is a garrison in Säkylä, Finland… Continue reading Publication on field testing alkaline urine dehydration at pilot-scale in Finland

New book chapter discusses alkaline urine dehydration at scale
In a bio-based circular economy, domestic wastewater has a significant role to play. By separating wastewater into different fractions at the source, it is possible to create new pathways for recycling resources. In a book chapter published in Current Developments in Biotechnology and Bioengineering, Simha et al. discuss about the most nutrient-rich wastewater fraction, human… Continue reading New book chapter discusses alkaline urine dehydration at scale
