Project description:
The aim of the project is to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed technologies with min. 80% lowering concentration of the pharmaceuticals from the substances indicative list. The demonstrate test will be included the ozonation removal process of pharmaceuticals and their metabolites combinations with nature-friendly treatment technologies (artificial wetlands, bioremediation filter) to ensure ecological stability in the recipient. The effectiveness of nature-friendly treatment technologies will be compared and validated with widely used GAU filters. Additionally, It will be tested and evaluate an innovative approach to monitoring and control of ozonation technology. The innovative approach is based on online monitoring of the pharmaceuticals removal rate by monitoring the UV absorbance at 254 nm.
