There is an urgent need for environmental and climate friendly treatment technologies to manage the substantial number of micropollutant sources in the South Baltic Sea area. Sustainable PFAS treatment technologies are especially challenging.
The objective of the future LIMIT project is to jointly develop and implement treatment concepts resulting in:

  • Innovative and adaptive concepts including treatment technologies for both urban WWTP’s and micropollutant’s hot spots ready for implementation in the South Baltic Sea region.
  • Sustainable regeneration and elimination technologies for used adsorption materials.
  • Analytical PFAS concepts using novel, robust and sensitive methods focusing on the analysis of prioritized PFAS compounds in various matrices.
    With a focus on innovative green treatment technologies, jointly developed, demonstrated and implemented, we are convinced that sustainable and environmentally friendly solutions can limit the spread and reduce the occurrence of PFAS and other micro pollutants in the South Baltic Area.
    The LIMIT project will thus help reduce or remove several substances damaging health and the environment, such as PFAS, pesticides, and antibiotics from ground waters and surface waters.
