S t e e r i n g G r o u p ’ s e v a l u a t i o n “…The project delivers useful practical results that can make such industries more efficient with a smaller ecological footprint, while also producing publishable scientific results with international relevance. The project has clearly identified treatment options that are not relevant and also which are the most likely candidates for sustainable solutions. There is now enough information available to design some main treatment process alternatives...The project also serves an important education role at Linnaeus University”. Prof. Runne Bakke, Prof. Lennart Mathiasson, R&D Manager Hans Brännström, Dr. Lennart Mårthensson.

LINNAEUS ECOTECH’10 (Waste and Wastewater Treatment, Remediation, Emissions Related to Climate, Environmental and Economic Effects) held in Kalmar,

22-24 November 2010, successfully hosted about 200

participants from 34 countries presenting a total of 130

papers. A meeting of the EU Project Sustainable Innovations and Treatment in industrial Wastewater Clusters (STInno) also took place during the event.

The Project Team wishes you a Merry Christimas and a Happy New Year!

Ren vinst för Kährs och miljön

Henrik Hansson, Fadoua Aboubi, William Hogland, Sawanya Laohaprapanon, Lisa Hegestrand och Henric Svensson från Linnéuniversitetet är stolta att deras arbete kan få bort Kährs miljögifter från vattendrag och slutligen Östersjön. Växtrika dammar ska fånga upp de gifter som bland annat ekspånet i bakgrunden utsöndrar. Foto: Henrik Nilsson..
