2. 1. Antibiotic Resistance in Wastewater : Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA)and antibiotic resistance genes

   Author : Stefan Börjesson; Per-Eric Lindgren; Johanna Ericson Sollid; Linköpings universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; MRSA; SCCmec; spa typing; Staphylococcus aureus; methicillin; B-lactam; aminoglycoside; tetracycline; antibiotic; wastewater; wastewater treatment plant; Microbiology; Mikrobiologi;

   Abstract : A large part of the antibiotics consumed ends up in wastewater, and in the wastewater the antibiotics may exert selective pressure for or maintain resistance among microorganisms. Antibiotic resistant bacteria and genes encoding antibiotic resistance are commonly detected in wastewater, often at higher rates and concentrations compared to surface water. READ MORE

4. 2. Fault Detection in Wastewater Treatment : Process Supervision to Improve Wastewater Reuse

   Author : Heidi Lynn Ivan; Monica Odlare; Valentina Zaccaria; Jan Skvaril; Tiina Komulainen; Mälardalens universitet; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Wastewater treatment; Process supervision; Fault Detection; Energy- and Environmental Engineering; energi- och miljöteknik;

   Abstract : As wastewater treatment plants transition to water resource recovery facilities, the need for improved control and consequently supervision increases. Despite the large volume of research that has been performed on this topic, the use in industry is scarce. READ MORE

5. 3. Removal of Micropollutants from Wastewater : evaluation of effect of upgrading ozonation to electro-peroxone

   Author : Majid Mustafa; Mats Tysklind; Daniel Ragnvaldsson; Lars Lövgren; Santiago Esplugas; Umeå universitet; []

   Abstract : The United Nations (UN) has adopted 17 “Sustainable Development Goals” (SDGs) to achieve a clean, better and sustainable future. SDG 6 is to ensure that everyone has access to clean water and sanitation by 2030. READ MORE

6. 4. Perspectives on Biofilms for the Removal of Organic Micropollutants in Wastewater

   Author : Ellen Edefell; Avdelningen för kemiteknik; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; wastewater treatment; wastewater; biofilm; ozonation; activated carbon; powdered activated carbon; granular activated carbon; biological degradation; Moving bed biofilm reactor;

   Abstract : The use of biofilms to improve the removal of organic micropollutants in waste¬water treatment plants (WWTPs) has been investigated. The work is divided into two parts. In the first part, the use of biofilms for the biological degradation of micro¬pollutants was investigated. READ MORE

7. 5. Hazardous substances in wastewater systems : a delicate issue for wastewater management

   Author : Helena Palmquist; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; VA-teknik; Urban Water Engineering;

   Abstract : Many substances derived from human activity end up in wastewater systems at some point. A large number of different substances - up to 30,000 - are present in wastewater. Some of them are valuable, such as nitrogen and phosphorus, but there are also hazardous substances such as heavy metals and anthropogenic organic substances. READ MORE
