MBR technology - Challenges and opportunities for WWTPs
The seminar on September 5 is being held as a side event to the concurrently ongoing Nordic Wastewater Conference (NORDIWA)
The seminar is held in the same premises as NORDIWA, but participants in this seminar do not need to be registered with NORDIWA.
This side event is free of charge but registration is required for participation. The seminar is conducted in English.
During nine years (2013-2022), the membrane bioreactor (MBR) technology has been evaluated through pilot tests at the R&D-facility Hammarby Sjöstadsverk prior to full-scale implementation at Henriksdal WWTP in Stockholm starting in 2021. The purpose of the seminar is to summarize specific experiences, challenges, and opportunities that IVL Swedish Environmental Research institute and Stockholm Vatten och Avfall (SVOA) have identified during these years. Further, the role of the MBR-technology for Stockholm’s future sewage treatment and experiences from the first year of full-scale operation will be presented at the seminar.
Representants from different organisations in Sweden and Finland that have or have decided to implement the MBR-process will discuss their reasoning behind choosing membrane technology and experiences from operation in cold climate. The role of MBR-technology in the light of the current geopolitical situation, upcoming legislation requirements, and general striving for a sustainable development of society will be elaborated using presentations and panel discussions. The targeted audience of the seminar includes decisions makers at municipal level, professionals in wastewater treatment and operation utility professionals.
Organizers: Christian Baresel (IVL), Sofia Lovisa Andersson (SVOA), Sofia Andersson (Sweco)
Moderator: Klara Westling (Svenskt Vatten)
