AdvIQwater

Estonian seminar on "Pharmaceuticals and metals removal based on biological-physico-chemical combined treatment"

08 May 2025
Technical details

It is my pleasure to invite you to our seminar with transnational showcase of INTERREG project “Adwiqwater” dealing with water treatment from pharmaceuticals and heavy metals treatment from compost and anaerobic sludge. European regulations have been made stricter for different Baltic Sea countries to fulfill effluent values of pharmaceuticals in current time (Denmark) or in near future (Estonia, Poland etc). We will discuss the issues of applying combinations of biological and physico-chemical techniques to treat different pharmaceuticals in effective manner.

 

Target groups: Policy makers, Utilities, wastewater and pharmaceuticals treatment companies.
