01
The client
Our client was Richter Gedeon Nyrt., a pharmaceutical company.
02
What we did
Specific pharmaceutical residues were detectable in the treated wastewater. The aim of the test was to try our in-house photo-oxidation technology as a fourth treatment stage under real operating conditions.
Outcome
The test confirmed that pharmaceutical compounds can be removed effectively from treated wastewater as micropollutants. The project was an important step towards bringing our in-house technology to market.
