The Removal of Pharmaceutical Compounds in Wastewater
Steve Giarrusso, Village of Minoa Wastewater Treatment Works
ABSTRACT
I will be talking on the research being conducted at the Cleanwater Educational and Research Facility
(CERF) located at the Village of Minoa's Wastewater Treatment Plant. We have discovered a natural
reactor that has the unique ability to remove complex compounds. I will be discussing how we plan to
study how it these complex compounds are being removed.
