Project description
The treatment of toxic wastewater made easy
The collection and treatment of wastewater is improving all over Europe. The latest figures show that 95 % of wastewater in the EU is collected and 88 % is biologically treated. While the trend is positive, there is still room for improvement – through innovation and new investments in environmental infrastructure in all EU Member States. With this in mind, the EU-funded NMRT project will bring to market a newly developed technology that uses electromagnetic resonance to treat toxic wastewater. It has been successfully tested in different kinds of wastewater (winery, landfill, tannery and textile industries). According to the project, this technology is cheaper and easier to install and maintain compared to current best available technologies.
