Waste water treatment approaches in Germany
◮ micropollutants are a complex issue
◮ a broad set of measures required ◮ waste water / rain water important
conveyor for micropollutants
◮ advanced waste water treatment one
important building block
◮ ozonation and activated carbon
proven technologies
◮ important also for water reuse
(groundwater and soil protection)
◮ other regulatory areas have to be
adressed
October 24, 2018 UWWTD Expert Workshop 1
Waste water treatment approaches in Germany
◮ started in 2016 ◮ broad participation ◮ first milestone summer 2018 „policy
◮ currently in a second „refinement“

Waste water treatment approaches in Germany
◮ high political attention in EC and several member states ◮ activities and discussions throughout Europe (f.e. IG
◮ but honestly still serious knowledge gaps
◮ analytical methods (sampling, sample preparation,
detection)
◮ sources and pathways incl. waste water system ◮ concentrations in environmental media ◮ effects ◮ .... October 24, 2018 UWWTD Expert Workshop 3

Waste water treatment approaches in Germany
◮ large knowledge base ◮ combination of measures required
◮ production ⇒use ⇒EOP ◮ incl. improved Waste Water Treatment
◮ broad political dialog
◮ serious knowledge gaps ◮ many research projects ongoing ◮ UWWT state of knowledge (based on proxies and first data)
◮ discharges less relevant ◮ CSO, Rainwater + sewage sludge more important
◮ ISO work towards standardization should be supported
