SPANS-projektet (SanitÀr planering för alternativa nÀringsÀmnesÄtervinningssystem) har utvecklat ett seriöst spel som ett sÀtt för att informera beslutsfattande i sanitetsplanering med Ätervinning av nÀringsresurser. Spelet har testats med beslutsfattare och universitetsstudenter i Uganda och Sverige. Deltagarna har tyckt att spelet Àr roligt och anvÀndbart för att diskutera utmaningar i sanitetsplanering.
Spelet Àr ett brÀdspel som Àr utformat för att spela med en grupp pÄ 4 deltagare. Se den hÀr videon för mer information om spelet.
The SPANS project (Sanitation Planning for Alternative Nutrient-recovery Systems) has developed a serious game as a way of informing decision-making in sanitation planning incorporating the recycling of nutrient resources. The game has been tested with decision-makers and university students in Uganda and Sweden. Participants have found the game fun and useful for discussing challenges in sanitation planning.
The game is an board game that is designed for playing with a group of 4 participants. See this video for details of the game.
SPANS-projektet om sanitetsplanering för alternativa nÀringsÀmnesÄtervinningssystem har publicerat sin första policyinformation. Kortfattat presenteras resultat frÄn en studie om kapital- och driftskostnader för sanitet i Kampala, Uganda. Det konstaterades att kostnaderna för avloppssystem Ärligen Àr 13 gÄnger högre Àn för system som hanterar avföringsslam. Avloppssystem fÄr en större andel av den offentliga finansieringen Àn avföringsslamsystem, samtidigt som de endast betjÀnar 1% av storstadsregionen. Strategier som syftar till rÀttvis och inkluderande sanitet mÄste övervÀga alternativa sanitetssystem och tjÀnster dÀr anvÀndare Ätnjuter lika stora offentliga medel.

The SPANS project on Sanitation Planning for Alternative Nutrient-recovery Systems has published its first policy brief. The brief presents results of a study on capital and operational costs for sanitation in Kampala, Uganda. It was found that annualized costs for sewerage systems are 13 time greater than for faecal sludge systems. Sewerage systems receive a greater share of public funding than faecal sludge systems, at the same time that they serve only 1% of the greater metropolitan area. Strategies aiming at equitable and inclusive sanitation need to consider alternative sanitation systems and services in which users enjoy equal shares of public funding.

Itâs likely that most of the food youâll eat today was not farmed sustainably.
The global system of food production is the largest human influence on the planetâs natural cycles of nitrogen and phosphorus. How much crops can grow is limited by the amount of these two elements in the soil, so theyâre applied as fertilisers. But the majority of fertilisers are either made by converting nitrogen in the air to ammonia, which alone consumes 2% of the worldâs energy and relies heavily on fossil fuels, or by mining finite resources, like phosphate rock.
But a solution to this problem could be much closer than people realise. Most of the nutrients we consume in food are passed in our urine, because our bodies already have enough. But instead of being recaptured, these nutrients are flushed, diluted, and sent to wastewater treatment plants where theyâre scrubbed out, leaving effluents that can be safely released into the environment.
The most nutrient-rich part of wastewater is human urine, which makes up less than 1% of the total volume but contains 80% of the nitrogen and 50% of the phosphorus. We discovered how to recycle this urine into valuable â and sustainable â farmland fertiliser.
Recently, Cecilia Lalander and Viktoria Wiklicky from our research group made a short 12 min video of the our Black Soldier Fly (BSF) rearing colony. Click on the link below to take a virtual tour of our facilities and to learn how we rear our flies, how the flies/larvae move through the various stages of their life cycle, and how to treat organic wastes using BSF larvae.
Nyligen gjorde Cecilia Lalander och Viktoria Wiklicky frÄn vÄr forskargrupp en kort 12 minuters video om vÄr uppfödningskoloni av amerikanska vapenfluglarver. Klicka pÄ lÀnken nedan för att fÄ en virtuell rundtur i vÄra anlÀggningar och för att lÀra dig om hur vi föder upp vÄra flugor, hur flugorna / larverna rör sig genom de olika stadierna av deras livscykel och hur man behandlar organiskt avfall med BSF-larver.
Vi Ă€r glada att tillkĂ€nnage ett webinar om det seriösa spelet som vi har gjort om resursĂ„tervinning inom sanitet – RECLAIM. Vi presenterar den 11 november 2020 mellan kl. 13.00 och 14.00 CEST.
We are pleased to announce a webinar on the serious-game that we have made on resource recovery in sanitation â RECLAIM. We will present it on the 11th November, 2020 between 13:00-14:00 CEST.
