Clean water has been a given in Sweden – not anymore as the expertise is about to run out!
We take clean water for granted. It flows from the tap, the treatment plants do their job, the pipes are where they should be. But behind that obviousness are people – engineers, operating technicians, designers – and they are the ones who are starting to run out. The lack of skills in the water sector is not just about a lack of personnel and training. It is already costing Swedish […]

Tindra Aminoff – Water Industry Internship Program
Every summer, the Water Industry Internship Program brings together a number of students from all over the country to explore the water and sanitation industry, one of society's most fundamental but also most invisible sectors. During the program, participants get to meet leading players in the industry, work on a joint project and build a network that extends far beyond the summer. In this interview series, we present this year's participants in the internship program. Tindra Aminoff is in her third year of the Civil Engineering program at Chalmers University of Technology and will take the next step towards a master's degree in infrastructure in the fall. This summer, she is one of the students in the Water Industry Internship Program, a step that feels like an obvious continuation of the path she is on.
Karl Widlund – Water Industry Internship Program
Every summer, the Water Industry Internship Program brings together a number of students from all over the country to explore the water and sanitation industry, one of society's most fundamental but also most invisible sectors. During the program, participants get to meet leading players in the industry, work on a joint project and build a network that extends far beyond the summer. In this interview series, we present this year's participants in the internship program. Karl Widlund is studying for his master's degree in Environmental Engineering with a focus on Urban Water and Water Resources at Nordic Five Tech, a collaboration between five leading technical universities in the Nordic region. This summer, he is participating in the Water Industry Internship Program, just in time for his final year of education.

Differences NL/NLM vs. AB/ABT
Differences in responsibility, risk and finances in water and sanitation projects When procuring and implementing water and sanitation projects, different forms of agreement are often encountered that govern the contract and product deliveries. These agreements are designed with different starting points and can therefore lead to differences in responsibility, risk distribution and financial conditions. This document aims to clarify these differences in a clear and educational way, […]
Case ”Smart substrate management to minimize water requirements in food waste pretreatment”
Outside Östersund, Purac has built an energy-efficient biogas plant for Bioga i Jämtland-Härjedalen AB. The plant receives a variety of organic substrates – primarily dairy by-products1, cattle slurry and food waste. The plant pre-treats and digests the organic substrates and thus converts them into biogas, a fossil-free fuel, and a nutrient-rich liquid biofertilizer.
Case ”Strate-Pelleting-of-biofertilizer”
Purac, together with Alviksgården Lantbruks AB, has developed a process solution, Purac ReNuTM, which converts the digestate from a biogas plant into an attractive, nutrient-rich fertilizer product that provides easier fertilizer management, reduces the need for fossil fertilizers and reduces nutrient leakage to the soil.
Case "Climate calculation of distribution pumps and climate requirements for procurement"”
The Färgens waterworks in Alingsås municipality is being expanded to meet future needs, and the existing distribution pumps are being replaced with new pumps. Read more about how it was done.
Case – ”The road to the pumping stations of the future”
From downtime to operational reliability – a new generation of pumping stations. To reduce operating costs and improve operational reliability, Luleå Miljöresurs installed Sweden's first Awalift pumping stations in 2024 – a closed system with a separation vessel that effectively prevents clogging of the pumps and reduces general wear and tear.
Case: ”Härryda Municipality optimizes water monitoring with digital solution”
Härryda Municipality has not only optimized its water monitoring but also improved its ability to act in real time and prevent environmental impacts. Aqua Robur’s IoT Portal has become a valuable platform for managing and analyzing data, enabling the municipality to streamline its water management and increase its sustainability.
