Hammarby Sjöstad is a new district in southern Stockholm. A main objective with the Sjöstad project was to halve the environmental impact compared to other construction work. The environmental goals involve a halved water consumption rate, a local treatment of storm water and trials aiming to extract nutrients from the waste water. Sjöstadsverket is an experimental treatment plant used for testing new treatment processes for domestic waste water from Hammarby Sjöstad. The results are to be compared with the conventional process used at Henrikdals treatment plant today.

The continuous process of urbanization results in demands on research and development for ecological and sustainable city development. Because of this, the current systems for wastewater treatment may have to be improved. In order to evaluate new technologies for municipal wastewater treatment, a development project has been initiated for the new district Hammarby Sjöstad in Stockholm. The project is lead by the company Stockholm Water. High environmental standards have been put up for the district, as it must be twice as good as an ordinary new district.

Kraftig övergödning i Östersjön leder till ökad blomning av alger som medförsyrebrist i havet. Musselodling kan ses som en åtgärd för problemet. På den svenskaöstkusten beräknas skördningen av musslor vara på ca 65 000 ton/år.Rötningsförsöket av blåmusslorna skedde i en pilotanläggning på Linnéuniversitetsom består utav en lakbädd och en UASB-reaktor (Upflow Anaerobic SludgeBlanket), där syrabildningen sker i lakbädden och metanbildningen i UASB.Musslorna gav ett metanutbyte på 0,32 m3/(kg VS) för hela rötningsperioden.Ensy AB specialiserar sig på att producera koncentrerad växtnäring från gödsel. Dehar som planer att utveckla sin verksamhet för att samköra produktion av biogas frångödsel. Gödslet som erhölls från Ensy AB rötades i ett satsvist försök i nio behållaremed 100g/behållare.

This thesis is   focused on identifying and documenting all   electrical equipment, such as devices, power lines / cables, and connectors in the facility and also on presenting a brief   technical description and information of the systems around the reactors.   Furthermore there will be a brief description of LabVIEW - which is a   graphical programming language- and which devices / elements   are programmed. For further notification, I am not   responsible for the programming of the devices in LabVIEW   which I have only used as a tool in my work. The plant   for production of biogas consists of four reactors   of which the third reactor (Lakbädden)   is connected to another reactor (UASB)   where they cooperate with each other.   The reactors are used for producing   biogas in the form of methane gas.The reactors I and II are   connected to, various electrical devices as, flow meters, temperature   sensors, frequency converter and   more.
