Project description:
The aim of the project is to achieve a significant improvement in the field of surface water pollution by pharmaceutical substances, but also by other micropollutants and to streamline the treatment of biologically conventionally treated wastewater. In particular, the technology for removing pharmaceuticals from wastewater will be optimized and verified based on a new method combining a modified AOP process working with a specially developed Fenton reaction catalyst and treatment on MBBR biological technology (original Norwegian technology) equipped with special composite / nanofiber biomass carriers.
The technology will be combined with the separation of suspended solids with MBR or another process and sorption end technology. In frame of the project, the "Pharmaceutics-Endocrine Disruptor Removal Objective" (PEDRO) tertiary / quaternary treatment unit will be pilot-tested at two municipal WWTP sites and one WWTP for the commercial zone. The project also aims to accelerate the application of highly efficient and advanced drug removal technologies to water management and to eliminate the impact of undesirable pollutants on aquatic ecosystems.
