CLEANWATER
CLEANWATER is a research project working with solutions to remove micro-pollutants and micro-plastics from wastewater.
CLEANWATER has a particular focus on reducing the input of micropollutants and microplastic into the Baltic Sea by exploring, developing, and comparing new eco‐technological approaches.
Project goals:
- Develop eco‐technological solutions for removing micropollutants and microplastic from contaminated water
- Determine the dominant source, wastewater or stormwater, for various micropollutants and microplastics
- Develop testing methods for the analysis of xenobiotics and microplastics in storm‐, leachate‐, and wastewater
LiqTech has developed a membrane bioreactor (MBR) wastewater treatment system with flat sheet membranes to remove micro-pollutants, micro-plastics, and xenobiotics.
