Project description
An easy way to remove micropollutants from water
In recent years, there has been growing concern about the environment and the risks that pollution poses. One of the critical risks is water contamination affecting wastewater, marine water, groundwater and treated water. Micropollutants, one of the principal culprits, can take the form of endocrine disruptors, pesticides, the remains of antibiotics, and more. Although they can be eliminated by wastewater treatment plants, micropollutants occurring in high concentrations have been known to bypass even these treatment plants. The EU-funded CLEAR project seeks to combat this problem. Through computational design optimisation, CLEAR will optimise the design of the compact, easy-to-deploy and cost-effective devices developed by EDEN MICROFLUIDICS, adapting the devices so they can tackle a wide range of micropollutants.
