Potential of Using real-time OiW monitoring for control of produced water treatment in offshore oil & gas production
(Corresponding) Zhenyu Y.
Topic:
Water treatment
The produced water has been the largest produced fluid stream at most of the current offshore oil & gas production in North-sea. It is not uncommon that the water cut can reach 90% in many matured production fields. No matter the produced water will be eventually discharged to the ocean, or...Read more

Occurrence and spatiotemporal variability of sunscreen agents along the polish part of the Baltic Sea coast
(Corresponding) ASTEL A., STEC M., ASTEL K.
Topic:
Emerging pollutants
UV-filters accumulate in tissues of aquatic organisms and induce negative effects on fertility and reproduction. Since they are “new emerging pollutants” general monitoring programs are rare and mainly conducted in touristic places, where high temperatures are recorded throughout the year (Spain,...Read more

Evaluation of water quality of Kosynthos river in North Greece, using Water Quality Indices
(Corresponding) Gikas G., Lergios D., Psomakelis E., Petalas C.
Topic:
Lakes, rivers, estuaries and ecosystem health
The water quality of Kosynthos river, located in Xanthi Prefecture, Northern Greece, was evaluated using Water Quality Indices (WQIs). A water quantity and quality monitoring program was undertaken from December 2016 to November 2017 on a weekly basis at four stations along the main course of...Read more

Thermal degradation of perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA)
(Corresponding) Stockenhuber S., Weber N., Dixon L., Lucas J., Grimison C., Bennett M., Stockenhuber M., Mackie J., Kennedy E.
Topic:
Soil and groundwater contamination and remediation
Per - and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are a group of environmental contaminants, that are dispersed throughout the world. A number of areas have been affected by their persistence and biomagnification. PFAS remediation of contaminated material requires extensive knowledge of the species...Read more

Τhe aim of this study was to check the water quality of Aposelemis Dam reservoir. The water quality was studied in nine (09) different water depths: 0 m, 02 m, 03 m, 05 m, 07 m, 09 m, 10 m, 13 m and 15 m. A sudden change in the temperature of the water was observed at the water depth of 7 m (...Read more
Monitoring of the main operational parameters of Aposelemis Water Treatment Plant (WTP).
(Corresponding) GYPARAKIS S., DIAMADOPOULOS E.
Topic:
Water treatment
Rising population, increased industrial and agricultural water usage as well as climate changes have brought great challenges to water supply of adequate quality and quantity. Thus, the water treatment industry has nowadays a greater emphasis on the optimization of water treatment plants to improve...Read more
Characterization of Natural Organic Matter and Disinfection By-products Formed After Chemical Disinfection of Water
(Corresponding) Postigo C., (Corresponding) Andersson A., Mourad H., Bastviken D., Gonsior M., Schmitt-Kopplin P., Gago-Ferrero P., Ahrens L., Ahrens L., Wiberg K.
Topic:
Emerging pollutants
Chemical disinfection of water has been commonly applied to protect public health from waterborne infectious diseases. Chemical disinfectants are strong oxidants that react with the building blocks or alter the metabolism of pathogenic organisms, killing them as the final consequence. These...Read more
