“A considerable portion of the DWTP waste generated in Spain is deposited in dumps. […] To manage the waste generated at drinking water treatment plants (DWTPs), it has been used a new experimental treatment process by atomization that reduces sludge volume 600-fold and converts it to a readily handled powdery material that might be reusable in the cement or concrete industry [2].”

“The last compound, gemfibrozil is the sole antilipidemic compound found (up to 3 ng/L) in a USA survey of 18 DWTPs whereas atorvastatin, simvastatin and their metabolites, the other studied compounds, were absent (Benotti et al., 2009). In our study, the two statins identified at the intake of the DWTP were eliminated by dioxychlorination (>99%) whereas bezafibrate, clofibric acid and gemfibrozil were only moderately removed with percentages of 37%, 68% and 11%, respectively although it has been reported that gemfibrozil and clofibric acid are readily oxidized with chlorine dioxide in spiked drinking water whereas bezafibrate remains unchanged (Huber et al., 2005a).”
