Wastewater Integrated Selection Environment: A UK Model Comprising Regulation, Reslience and Sustainability

In the last 10-years, the UK water industry has made a significant effort to understand the sources and prevalence of micropollutants is sewage as well as their fate through existing and novel treatment processes.

After this effort, the water industry requires strategies to improve the quality of final effluents in current and future treatment works in light new restrictive environmental regulations promoting the sustainable and resilient management of wastewater works.

This project focuses on the development of decision tools combining innovative technologies, removal mechanisms, and options appraisal processes to minimise the impact of micropollutants in discharges.
