GreenDune Demonstrates Strong Performance in Removing Emerging Pollutants from Wastewater

The GreenDune photobioreactor has demonstrated outstanding performance in the removal of emerging pollutants from wastewater, confirming its potential as an innovative, sustainable, and nature-based solution for advanced water treatment.

GreenDune achieved high removal efficiencies across a broad range of contaminants that are increasingly recognized as a challenge for conventional wastewater treatment systems. The technology proved effective in removing pharmaceuticals, industrial chemicals, personal care products, pesticides, surfactants, artificial sweeteners, and stimulants, highlighting its versatility in addressing complex pollution scenarios.

Among the most significant results were the high removal rates achieved for several contaminants of emerging concern, including per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) and other compounds currently under investigation due to their potential impacts on human health and aquatic ecosystems. These substances are often difficult to eliminate using traditional treatment processes, making the observed performance of GreenDune particularly noteworthy.

In several cases, the photobioreactor achieved complete removal of target pollutants, while consistently delivering very high treatment efficiencies across a wide spectrum of contaminants. The results demonstrate the ability of nature-based technologies to complement and enhance existing wastewater treatment systems, contributing to improved water quality and environmental protection.

These achievements reinforce the potential for wider deployment of nature-based treatment systems and contribute valuable evidence to support the adoption of innovative solutions capable of protecting water resources, ecosystems, and public health in the years ahead.
