Green Filter
Challenge
To develop a low-cost and low-exploitation technology for the removal of nutrients and emerging contaminants from small populations.
Solution
Development of an improved green filter that can act as tertiary treatment and as a reuse technology, capable of increasing the elimination of emerging nutrients and contaminants by applying low-cost and easy-to-acquire materials.
Main Data
Development of innovative tertiary wastewater treatment technology based on green filters
