Wastewater treatment

Effect-based methods can be used to investigate the occurrence of hazardous contaminants in wastewater

METHODS

Wastewater contains many chemical contaminants, such as household chemicals and pharmaceutical residues. Conventional wastewater treatment is not optimized to remove micropollutants, which leads to contaminants being released into the environment. BioCell Analytica’s methods can be used to investigate the presence of hazardous chemicals in both incoming and treated wastewater and to evaluate how efficiently these pollutants are removed in the treatment plant.

Our methods are currently used at several of Sweden’s largest sewage treatment plants.

OUR OFFER

Our methods can be used to investigate the presence of hazardous chemicals in both incoming and treated wastewater and to evaluate how efficiently these pollutants are removed in the treatment plant.
