Tackling Micropollutants in the Environment

Tackling Micropollutants in the...

Water operators are having to carry out more and more treatments on water to remove contaminants such as pharmaceuticals, nitrates and pesticides. We need better enforcement of EU laws to ensure that domestic consumers do not pay for additional treatments to keep our drinking water safe. Despite a singular goal to keep water safe and clean, European water operators are having to spend millions of Euros to remove more and more contaminants from water.

Aggressive Dirty Water

If pumps break down prematurely, it is not always related to the granular sediment in the dirty water. This will literally reduce exposed parts such as the impeller. But often the pH value of the water is the real problem. Clear, dirty and waste water pumps are designed for pumping water with a pH value within a defined range. In clean water, the value scatters around seven on the pH scale, which ranges itself from 0 to 14. The pH value indicates whether a solution...

With Kitack Lim, IMO Secretary-General, setting the agenda by stating that there is a need to make zero-carbon ships more attractive and direct investments towards innovative, sustainable technologies and...
