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.

Visit us on the XI. International scientific conference »ECOLOGY FOR BETTER TOMOROW«, which will take place between 31 Mach and 1. April, RIS Dvorec Rakičan.

We will present the project LIFE PharmDegrade with the poster entitled “Development of electrolytic cell within the LIFE PharmDegrade project: optimization of anode electro-chemical oxidation to remove drug residues from wastewater”.

Pilot plant constructed

The LIFE PharmDegrade pilot plant has been installed at the existing wastewater treatment plant in Golnik, Slovenia. The construction is made in two aboveground containers with additional small biological wastewater treatment plant and tertiary system with electrolytic cells as a final treatment step. Several containers and piping system will allow us to test various different combinations of pre-treatment.
