Annika Nordin

I am course leader for 10 credit course Selection of water and sanitation system and do also lecture on three other courses: Safe nutrient recycling 10 credits;  On-site wastewater systems, nutrient recovery and sewage sludge treatment 5 credits and Waste Managment 5 credits. The courses covers systems, processes (compostring, urine separation etc) and treatment technology for recirculation of plant nutrients and other resourses in sewage and organic waste.

The major part of my research is focusing on the inactivation of disease causing microorganisms and indicator organisms in sewage fractions.  Studies are performed in the laboratory as well as in the field studies applying previous research findings at a larger scale. The results from such studies are then used to model the pathogen inactivation and to relate the inactivation to controllable process parameters. The overall aim is to develop treatment technologies that are robust and cheap and certifies a safe reuse of plant nutrients from sewage fractions. Through participant driven research collaborations with municipal actors, farmers and diffrent associations can the reserch faster be implementesd and be further optimised to meet the needs of the society. Development of sanitisation methods and technology can contribute to accomplish the Swedish environemental goals regarding reuse of plant nutrients and the UN Sustainable developments goals for water and sanitation.

I have a Master degree in Biologi (2006) and dissertated in Technology with the thesis Ammonia sanitisation of Human Excreta - Treatment Technology for Production of Fertiliser

I am holding a master in Biology and dissertated in technology with the thesis ’Ammonia sanitisation of Human Excreta – Treatment Technology for Production of Fertiliser’

I co-supervice the PhD-students Nduhiu Githai, Kenyatta University; Jenna Senecal, SLU and Prithvi Simha, SLU.
