Malmberg has along with Suez implemented all engineering design and installation. Skanska has been responsible for construction and building of the facility. With the help of ozone it is estimated that over 90 percent of drug residues that leave the body will be cleansed away. The ozone purification plant will be a part step of the sewage treatment at Nykvarns WWTP.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Minister of Environment Karolina Skoog inaugurated the new plant Sep. 7th 2017. Here with fr.l Robert Sehl\u00e9n, Anna L\u00f6vs\u00e9n, Anders Johansson, Rebecka Hovenberg.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Drug residues affect the aquatic environment. Hormones, for example, are proved to give fish problems to multiply. Other drug residues found in our wastewater are antibiotics, anti-anxiety drugs and painkillers. Even resistant bacteria can be found.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Through a collaboration with the Swedish Environmental Research Institute and Tekniska Verken in Linkoping a project was conducted where a pilot scale plant tested a method for purifying wastewater from pharmaceutical residues using ozone.
