"So happy we got funded by the Interreg Northern Periphery and Arctic programme for the ArcticSewlutions project to collect evidence for the efficiency and practicalities around wastewater treatment solutions applied in the NPA region. We aim to deliver substantial information that can serve decision-makers and practitioners when making decisions on wastewater treatment - in the NPA region and beyond in the Arctic.
This coming week DTU Sustain, DTU National Food Institute and Arctic DTU are hosting our first workshop and second partner meeting in beautiful Sisimiut, Greenland.
We look very much forward to work closely with our lead-partners from University of Oulu, as well as partners and Associated partners from Luleå University of Technology, DTU National Food Institute, EFLA Consulting Engineers, Lumire, Inari, Kommuneqarfik Sermersooq, Avannaata Kommunia, and Qeqqata Kommunia to succeed in our ambitions."
Participants: Pekka Rossi, Elisangela Heiderscheidt, Inga Herrmann, Rasmus Klapp, Lisbeth Truelstrup, Ragnhildur Gunnarsdóttir, Torben Bauer, Paulus Lepistö, Uiloq Nielsen Kleist, Mads Ole Reimer, Kim Johanson, Natazia Nielsen, Martin Meincke.
ArcticSewlutions
Sewage management in cold and sparsely populated regions: solutions for the Arctic in view of a changing climate and emerging contaminants.
About the ArcticSewlutions project
Variable wastewater (WW) management approaches are used in Arctic countries. They differ by the type of systems used and the level of environmental and health protection they provide. Several factors, such as regional climate and geology or the history and culture of a region, can affect the suitability of management solutions. ArcticSewlutions aims to compile information on the type, efficiency, and properties of treatment options in cold and sparsely populated regions including effects on emerging contaminants and tests at pilot sites. The goal of the project is to promote the exchange of knowledge and practical experiences on WW management solutions providing stakeholders with the information needed to assess and change practices if needed. The project aims for enhanced WW management in changing climate and variable geographic conditions for the resilience and health of communities.
