PhaRem – Development and application of a system based on advanced oxidation processes for the treatment of hospital wastewaters in order to remove pharmaceutical compounds with high persistence in aquatic environment

Leading organisations:

University Hospital of Ioannina, University of Vlora "Ismail Qemali", Regional Hospital of Vlore, Regional Council of Vlora, and Decentralized Administration of Epirus - Western Macedonia

Timeframe:

2018-2020

Geographic Area:

Southeastern Europe

Objectives:

To establish an innovative mechanism for the secondary treatment of hospital wastewaters in Ioannina and Vlore hospitals with the use of advanced oxidation processes.

Target audience:

Hospitals, Hospitals/health system stakeholders, and Scientists

Area of interest:

Occurrence of pharmaceuticals in the environment, Wastewater, and Water treatment technologies

Activities:

Main outputs:
a) A consistent monitoring mechanism of pharmaceutical compounds in the effluents of wastewater treatment plants.
b) An inclusive long term pilot study on the efficiency, both technical and financial, of the proposed mechanism
