UV-based and chemical oxidation processes are preferred treatment technologies for the elimination of emerging pollutants in drinking water and wastewater because of their flexibility, long-term stability, low costs, and controllability (cp. recent EU-projects as TECHNEAU, POSEIDON, THREE, NEPTUNE, RECLAIM WATER).
The EU funded project DEMEAU kicked off on 8 and 9 November at Dunea, the water utility of The Hague and its surrounding area. The event marks the beginning of a three-year demonstration of promising technologies that tackle emerging pollutants in water and waste water.
