Removing pharmaceuticals from water supplies

Arrow iconThe current EU Urban Wastewater Treatment Directive is more than 30 years old, and it has made dramatic improvements to the water quality in European rivers, lakes and seas. However, several pollution challenges remain and are not covered by the current legislation. One of the most prominent is pharmaceutical residues, which are having a detrimental effect on wildlife and human health, leading to a revision of EU Directive 91/271/EEC.

Recycling water for agriculture in Bahrain

Arrow iconCountries in the Middle East face a constant challenge with delivering sufficient water for an increasing population, both for drinking water and irrigation for agriculture. In Bahrain, the largest water treatment works in the country has undergone a huge redevelopment and Nordic Water, a Sulzer brand, has retrofitted the original sand filter basins with DynaSand filters. This, together with a recent expansion of the filtration systems, has enabled the plant to treat 250’000 m³/day for irrigation, the equivalent of 100 Olympic swimming pools every day.

PFAS in water

Arrow iconThe widespread use of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in domestic, commercial and industrial products has led to an environmental challenge that is now attracting the attention of European legislators. Often referred to as ‘forever chemicals’ because of their persistence in the environment, these common substances are increasingly being investigated for their potential impact on health. Developing solutions to remove these chemicals is increasingly important as more legislation is proposed.
