In-depth water research
From streams, lakes and seas to groundwater, drinking water, drainage and stormwater.
Water is one of our largest areas of activity.
IVL's researchers have followed the development of our watercourses, lakes and seas since the 1960s. Today, we work with everything from advanced water flow measurement to identifying sources of emissions and the development of water treatment and aquaculture.
Environmental investigations, inventories and water analysis
We carry out environmental investigations such as risk assessment of leachate, inventory in the marine environment and risks with unfamiliar species and marine noise. We research how environmentally damaging substances and various activities risk affecting our marine ecosystems. We also have an extensive analysis activity which means that we can detect and quantify new pollutants.
Circular solutions for purification technology
Together with KTH, we operate the test facility Hammarby Sjöstadsverk, a world-leading R&D facility in water treatment technology. Here we develop technology to be able to reuse and utilize purified drainage.
Marine focus at Kristineberg Center
IVL has for many years had significant marine operations at the research station in Kristineberg outside Lysekil. At the newly established center for marine research and innovation, we have strengthened our focus on sustainable expansion in the sea, and marine industries.
