In October 2014 all three facilities are up and running at the test center PIA RWTH in Aachen Germany. IVL has performed initial tests of the inlet wastewater which shows large quantities of pharmaceuticals, as expected since it is wastewater from about 30000 household persons.

The presence of the pharmaceuticals means that we don´t have to add any chemicals to perform the tests of the reduction efficiency which is good news. The next step is to start the testing schedule and the sampling programme of the facilities.
