Water quality monitoring is critical for sustainable food production, but traditional methods often fall short of providing timely and large-scale insights. Within the Unity4Water project, Nornio is leveraging cutting-edge technology to tackle this challenge as one of the partners, helping to make water reuse safer and more efficient.
Transforming water reuse: How Unity4Water and PBS Generation are setting new standards with ozone technology
A primary obstacle in water conservation is maintaining microbiological safety standards. High levels of bacteria, viruses, and fungi in reject water typically prevent reuse, calling for advanced decontamination methods. PBS Generation’s innovative technology directly addresses this by achieving what could be called near-complete decontamination, a prerequisite for water reusability. – Our technology is designed to neutralize […]
Optimizing water management in horticulture
In an era where sustainable practices are increasingly vital, the collaboration between Granerfeldts Trädgård and Unity4Water represents a significant step towards addressing pressing water management challenges in the horticulture sector. As Granerfeldts Trädgård continues to innovate, their commitment to reducing water leakage and optimizing fertilization with minimal inputs is at the forefront of their efforts. […]
Harnessing the power of IoT for sustainable water management
The global water crisis is pressing, climate change intensifying, thus sustainable water management has become critical. Unity4Water is an initiative focused on revolutionizing water conservation and management, with an expertise of leading technology partners. One of the key players in this project is Sensative, a Swedish company specializing in IoT (Internet of Things) solutions. Sensative’s innovative […]
Unity4Water tackles wastewater threats with cutting-edge solutions
Water is a vital resource, yet its quality is increasingly threatened by a range of harmful substances and environmental pressures. The Unity4Water project is addressing these challenges through innovative technologies and methodologies. One of the most pressing concerns identified by the Unity4Water team is the presence of toxic elements such as cadmium (Cd), lead (Pb), […]
Unity4Water team gathers in Västerås for collaboration and innovation
Last week, the Unity4Water project team convened at Mälardalen University (MDU) in Västerås for a kick-off meeting. This event marked a significant milestone for the project, as partners from various clusters met in person to discuss ongoing progress and future directions. – We focused on fostering collaboration among the different expert groups involved in the […]
Electronic Nose is revolutionizing water quality monitoring
Imagine if technology could mimic our sense of smell to detect and analyze odors, just as our noses do. You don’t need to imagine, because it’s already here – the electronic nose, or “e-nose,” a device that simulates the human olfactory system to detect and identify odors and flavors. While the human nose relies on […]
In collaboration with Texas State University and the City of Wichita Falls
In the end of May, two representatives from Texas State University and the City of Wichita Falls, came to visit Mälardalens University in Sweden to gain insights in the Unity4Water project, discuss their roles and the anticipated impact of this partnership. The Unity4Water project represents a confluence of academia, industry, and utilities aimed at exploring the potential […]
