Wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) collect many man-made micropollutants, such as active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), and discharge them into our environment. To reduce this pollution, the new urban wastewater treatment directive (UWWTD) requires large WWTPs with more than 150,000 PE to install advanced (quaternary) treatment stepwise by 2045. Based on risk assessment, mid-sized WWTPs from 10,000 PE to 100,000 PE must also be prioritized. Regional environmental authorities and must assess these risks, prioritize and select WWTPs to be upgraded, and decide on the most cost-effective solutions together with WWTP operators. To make informed decisions, authorities and WWTP operators in charge need reliable data, practical tools, and clear guidance on how to assess risks and reduce pollution efficiently. However, they face significant challenges:
APRIORA has developed an innovative approach to fill these gaps by providing:
To make sure the solution works well, APRIORA is currently testing the approach in five river catchments across the Baltic Sea Region countries Finland, Germany, Latvia, Poland and Sweden. Regional authorities in charge are actively participating in the piloting, working alongside scientific experts to ensure the solution meets their actual needs.
With APRIORA’s solution, decision-makers will not only be able to identify which WWTPs need urgent mitigation but can also explore cost-effective solutions – such as adding advanced treatment, redirecting wastewater to other plants, or even closing inefficient facilities. By making risk-based prioritization practical and accessible, APRIORA is paving the way for cleaner waters and smarter investments in wastewater management to reduce the pollution of our waters.
