17 The choice of compounds investigate at Sneek:Pharmaceuticals A. Antibiotics (Ciprofloxacin, Trimethoprim) B. Antidiabetics (Metformin, Hydrochlorothiazide) C. Analgesics (Paracetamol) D. Beta-blockers (Metoprolol, Propranolol) E. Antihistamine (Cetirizine) F. Antiepileptic (Carbamazepine) G. Anti-inflammatory (Ibuprofen, Diclofenac, Naproxen) H. Lipid regulators (Gemfibrozil) 1

18 The choice of compounds investigated at Sneek: Personal Care Products A. Fragrances: B. Biocides: C. UV-filters: Galaxolide, Tonalide, Hexylcinnamaldehyde; Triclocarban, Triclosan, Benzalkonium chloride; EHMC, PBSA, Octocrylene, Avobenzone; D. Preservatives: Parabens 1

19 Pharmaceuticals in GW Personal care/household products in BW 17 pharmaceuticals measured, 5 were found in GW: - anti-inflammatory (diclofenac, naproxen, ibuprofen) - paracetamol - metformin 14 PCPs measured, 8 were found in BW: - biocides (triclosan, benzalkonium chloride, 2,4-DCP) - fragrance (galaxolide) - parabens

20 Removal, % Successive anaerobic and aerobic treatment improves pharmaceutical removal Removal in UASB reactor Removal in biorotor Removal in struvite reactor

21 Black water effluent is potentially toxic Effluent concentration, µg/l PNEC* µg/l Paracetamol Ibuprofen Diclofenac Naproxen Trimethoprim 0.1 >3000 Ciprofloxacin 1.8 <50 Metoprolol 62.6 >6000 * - predicted no effect concentration No PCPs detected in black water effluent

22 Pharmaceuticals are present in UASB sludge, but not in struvite Pharmaceutical Concentrations in UASB sludge, µg/g PNEC, µg/g Ciprofloxacin Metoprolol Propranolol No pharmaceuticals detected in struvite

23 PCPs are present in UASB sludge (and struvite) Micropollutant Concentrations in UASB sludge, µg/g PNEC, µg/g Galaxolide Triclosan Triclocarban ,4-dichlorophenol Benzalkonium chloride ,4 dichlorophenol was found in struvite (0.5 µg/g)

24 % of the influent load Grey water effluent and sludge contain PCPs Discharge with effluent Adsorption to sludge Biodegradation 0.0

25 PCPs are present in grey water sludge (but not pharmaceuticals Micropollutant Concentrations in UASB sludge, µg/g PNEC, µg/g Galaxolide EHMC n.d. HCA 27.4 n.d. Triclosan Triclocarban Benzalkonium chloride Avobenzone 46.3 n.d.

26 Conclusions novel sanitation based water cycle Sneek. Effluents of black water and grey water treatment systems require additional post-treatment prior to reuse or discharge; UASB sludge and struvite can be applied as soil amendment; Decrease of triclosan concentrations in UASB sludge is needed; Grey water sludge is not advised for soil applications due to the high risk quotients calculated for biocides
