Water sampling is carried out at each step of wastewater treatment. Operation and control of the physical and chemical parameters is carried out by a computer system SCADA. The final step of wastewater treatment represents electrochemical oxidation running in four electrolytic cells. Before and after wastewater treatment we monitor in addition to general physical and chemical parameters also the concentration of drug residues – pharmaceuticals. Target pharmaceuticals in our analysis are atorvastatin, bisoprolol, carbamazepine, ciprofloxacin, clofibric acid, diclofenac, fluoxetine, imatinib, metoprolol and sertraline.
