IEMonitoring - Indirect discharge monitoring

A hospital discharges into the sewer system at several discharge points, for which maximum permissible emission concentrations and pollutant loads are contractually specified by the water industry as sewer system operator. The Institute for Urban Water Management at the Graz University of Technology monitors compliance with these specifications by means of measurements. In the process, the discharged wastewater is also examined with regard to a possible toxic effect on the activated sludge of the wastewater treatment plant.
