Report pilot Bio-GAK for medicine removal published
Report pilot Bio-GAK for medicine removal published Microverontreinigingen verwijderen met onze biologisch actieve continue filtertechnologie: succesvol getest op RWZI Emmen.Uitgevoerd samen met onze projectpartners, Waterschap Vechtstromen, RWB Water en NieuWater B.V. en ondersteund door Waterschap Vallei en Veluwe, Waterschap Rijn en IJssel, Waterschap Drents Overijsselse Delta, Waterschapsbedrijf Limburg en Aquafin NV hebben we voor STOWA en het Ministerie van Milieu en Waterstaat onze rapportage afgerond. Nu toegankelijk – naast alle andere IPMV onderzoeksprojecten – via de volgende link: https://lnkd.in/eBva5DEK En we gaan nog even door voor aanvullend onderzoek, met steun van onze partners!

Tertiary filter refurbishment work completed at Great Glen STW, UK
Tertiary filter refurbishment work completed at Great Glen STW, UKUK water utility Severn Trent is optimizing waste water treatment plants for further P removal. Aspart of this scheme the existing tertiary filter plant at Great Glen STW, constructed in 2018, wasrefurbished. Also the process set-up has been altered to optimize filter operations at varying processconditions. The work has been executed by Brightwork in close collaboration with MMB andAlphaPlus.The project goal is to remove phosphorus by inline tertiary dosing of coagulant, and meet the morestringent criteria for P and Fe in the final effluent. Operational conditions had to be adjusted and
New purification technology for micropollutants removal looks promising Our research to remove micropollutants, such as medicine residues, and phosphorus in one reactor, has been picked by the Dutch radio broadcasting RTV Drenthe. I a short interview the backgrounds and drivers of the research are discussed. The pilot unit, consisting of a biologically enhanced granular activated carbon filter reactor, is in full operation at WwTW Emmen, the Netherlands. Regular samples are taken to determine the removal efficiencies for a large number of medicine residues. Also, eco-toxicity is monitored and a variety of other parameters, including phosphorus.

New tertiary process to remove micropollutants and phosphate from municipal treated wastewater tested at WwTW Emmen
New tertiary process to remove micropollutants and phosphate from municipal treated wastewater tested at WwTW Emmen A pilot plant has been started at the waste water treatment plant of Emmen, Waterschap Vechtstromen. This pilot study, called Bio-GAK, aims to find an affordable and sustainable solution for removing micropollutants from treated wastewater before the water is discharged into surface water. This method removes both medicine residues and phosphate. Bio-GAK pilot The purification technique applied is using granular activated carbon filter media. The filter bed is aerated to stimulate biological conversion within the filter bed. Hence the regeneration frequency of the
