Pharmaceutical wastewater treatment

We have been, in cooperation with a large university in Sweden, running tests with ozone treatment of effluent water from two water treatment plants, containing antiviral drugs.

The objective was to study the effect of ozone on the degradation of substances and formation of metabolites. A further objective was to investigate whether the type of water also affects outcomes. Chemical analysis were performed with LC-LC-MS-MS.

The tests were performed in house with Ozone Tech Systems OTS AB own equipment which is specially designed for studies in water treatment and ozone treatment of water.
