Innovative concepts for sustainable water treatment targeting PFAS and other critical micropollutants from point sources in the South Baltic Sea area

Nowadays, the responsible parties around the Baltic Sea are urgent looking for sustainable concepts to treat the water and wastewater, especially in terms of forever chemicals reduction (incl. poly and perfluorinated compounds, PFAS) and other emerging contaminants. The technology concepts in focus for the LIMIT project will be emerging treatment technologies like UV based advanced reductive processes (ARP), electrochemical degradation, super critical water oxidation (SCWO), regenerable granular activated carbon (GAC) and ion exchange resins (IEX). Sustainable disposal of the collected micropollutants from GAC and IEX, with decomposition/de-fluorination of the substances, will be a key issue in the project. This consists also of innovative GAC filter regeneration, aiming at minimal carbon footprint and efficient resource use. Possibilities for reuse of the treated water, after micropollutant removal, as new water resources, will also be a focal point of the project. Hence the LIMIT project will hereby increase the use of green technologies in the circular economy approaches.
