Deliverable Report D1.7 Performance of final ...

In this report, SERPIC results related to the removal of the selected CECs and their concentration in the effluents of the two routes (A and B) are compared with the performance of conventional additional treatments adopted in the case of an agriculture reuse of the treated effluent (depth filtration and disinfection) and CECs content in surface water (rivers) of the four regional target countries. Referring to CECS, it emerges that conventional treatment effluent as well as surface water used for crops irrigation might have higher concentrations with respect those measured in SERPIC effluents. An advanced multi-barrier treatment system, such as that developed by SERPIC project, is more prone to maximize the reduction of a wide range of contaminants from a secondary effluent.
