Launching the Guide to Sanitation Resource-Recovery Products & Technologies
We are pleased to announce the we will soon be publishing a Guide to Sanitation Resource-Recovery Products & Technologies! To launch this publication we are hosting a webinar on the SuSanA forum.
When? 22nd of October, 2020 between 14:00-15:00 CEST. Details and registration can be found on this link: https://www.susana.org/en/news-and-events/sanitation-events/upcoming-events?details=170
This Webinar is organized by the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences (SLU), Makerere University and the Research Institutes of Sweden (RISE) in collaboration with SuSanA working group 5 as part of the SPANS research project. It will present a new publication related to resource recovery from sanitation systems â the Guide to Sanitation Resource-Recovery Products & Technologies. The publication is designed as a supplement to the Eawag Compendium of Sanitation Systems and Technologies. It provides an overview of the possibilities for resource recovery from sanitation and provide guidance on treatment processes to achieve safe products for reuse. The webinar will introduce the guide, including an overview of the technologies and products that are covered in the document, and discuss how the information sheets can be used a reference book for sanitation planning and decision-making.
Guide för resursĂ„tervinning frĂ„n avlopp â produkter och tekniker
Vi Àr glada att meddela att vi snart kommer att publicera en guide för Ätervinningsprodukter och Ätervinningstekniker frÄn och för avlopp! För att avfyra denna publikation Àr vi vÀrd för ett webinar pÄ SuSanA-forumet.
NÀr? 22 Oktober, 2020 mellan 14:00-15:00 CEST. Registrering görs via denna lÀnk: https://www.susana.org/en/news-and-events/sanitation-events/upcoming-events?details=170
Detta webinar arrangeras av Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet (SLU), Makerere University och Sveriges forskningsinstitut (RISE) i samarbete med SuSanA-arbetsgrupp 5 som en del av forskningsprojektet SPANS. Det kommer att presenteras en ny publikation relaterad till resursĂ„tervinning frĂ„n sanitetssystem – Guide för resursĂ„tervinning frĂ„n avlopp â produkter och tekniker. Publikationen Ă€r utformad som ett komplement till Eawag Compendium of Sanitation Systems and Technologies. Den ger en översikt över möjligheterna till resursĂ„tervinning frĂ„n sanitet och ger vĂ€gledning om behandlingsprocesser för att uppnĂ„ sĂ€kra produkter för Ă„teranvĂ€ndning. Webbinariet kommer att introducera guiden, inklusive en översikt över de tekniker och produkter som omfattas av dokumentet och diskutera hur informationsblad kan anvĂ€ndas som referensbok för sanitetsplanering och beslutsfattande.

BSF larver som kycklingfoder
I sommar levererade BSF-uppfödningen 40 vÀrphöns med 25 kg levande larver per vecka. Experimentet strÀckte sig över 14 veckor och i slutÀndan hade totalt 350 kg levande larver levererats som nÀringsrikt kycklingfoder! Hönorna delades upp i tre experimentgrupper, förutom en kontrollgrupp, varvid varje grupp hade olika dieter: Ett standardfoder för höns med en substitution pÄ 10%, 20% och oÀndlig tillgÄng av larver gavs för att utvÀrdera effekten pÄ hönsen. De övervakades regelbundet med veckovisa mÀtningar av hönsens kroppsvikt, Àggproduktion och foderförbrukning. MÀngden konsumerade larver uppmÀttes dagligen och Àggkvalitets- och beteendedata samlades ocksÄ in. Forskarna kommer att anvÀnda resultaten av denna studie för att vÀlja den diet som innehÄller den högsta substitutionen av protein frÄn soja till BSF-larver samtidigt som de bibehÄller lÀmplig Àggproduktion och hönsvÀlfÀrd.
BSF larvae as chicken feed
This summer the BSF farm supplied 40 laying hens with 25kg of live larva per week. The experiment stretched over 14 weeks and in the end a grand total of 350kg of live larva ended up as nutritious chicken feed! The hens were split up into three experimental groups, in addition to a control group, each group following a different diet: A standard chicken feed with a substitution of 10%, 20% and ad libitum larvae was provided to evaluate the impact on the hens. They were monitored on a regular basis with weekly measurements of hen body weight, egg production, and feed consumption. The amount of larvae consumed was measured daily and egg quality and behavior data were also collected. The researchers will use the results of this study to select the diet that includes the highest substitution of protein from soy to BSF larvae while still maintaining appropriate egg production and hen welfare.
Our new team member Gabriella will work with microplastics!
My name is Gabriella and I have just started working as a research assistant at SLU. I have studied environmental engineering and I graduate recently. My dissertation focused on small-scale water purification and was carried out as an MFS (Minor Field Study) project in the Kenyan capital Nairobi 2019. In Nairobi’s slum Kibera, the possibility of purifying irrigation water with a vertical biochar garden filter was designed, implemented and evaluated. I am generally interested in water issues, but especially in water purification technology and small-scale sewage systems. As a research assistant, I will focus on microplastic analyzes and filtration, which feels both new, important and exciting!
