The technology emulates the natural degradation process, but in a much accelerated manner. Its impact on wastewater begins typically on contact. The system is a two-part system. It employs both electro-mechanical and Chemical conditioning of the water.
- These systems combine to reduce the water cluster size (making it finer). As the water is conditioned Dissolved Oxygen (DO) is released.
- This reduces the molecular structure of the water from 13-15 molecules per cluster to 5-6 molecules per cluster.
- Then a solution is injected into the conditioned water that once added it penetrates the organic compound emulsifying and degrading it, breaking the organic into suspended particles "micro-emulsions" that repel each other, and changing the molecular structure of organics by deactivation of the chemical functional groups; hazardous characteristics, coating properties and toxicity.
This oxygen rich conditioned water feeds aerobic bacteria which consume the organic solids and reduce the effect of heavy metals and salts that may be present in the water. The technology works by quickly breaking up the organic contaminants, creating much smaller microscopic droplets, making them more readily digestible by indigenous microorganisms and more rapidly oxidized. It is 100% biodegradable and is not harmful to marina/aquatic life.
When the discharge water is used for agricultural purposes, this water enters the soil easily and has a surfactant quality. This means that the moisture will cling to the upper layer of soil and maintain the hydration for a longer period of time therefore requiring less water for irrigation.
FIELD TEST RESULTS
The Technology was field tested in several wastewater treatment plants by the “ Gobierno del Distrito Federal Secretaria del Medio Ambiente - Sistema de Aguas de la Ciudad de México”, and the “Gobierno del Estado de México”, the “Gobierno del Estado de Puebla” and the City of “Acapulco”, every one of these plants using a different plant design and/or treatment technology.
The typical laboratory results achieved when using the Technology are outlined in the tables and pictures below.
BENEFITS
The most important benefit of the Technology is its ability to trigger the accelerated degradation process of organic material. No other existing treatment technology works as fast. As a result, The Technology offers exciting possibilities for improvements and cost savings averaging 25% for municipal wastewater treatment systems. These environmental and economic benefits are not limited to municipal systems, but can also be used in industrial and agricultural sectors. A summary of other benefits are as follows:
- Increased plant capacity reduces capital expenditures and running costs.
- Improved effluent quality (reduced solids, nutrients) provides greater protection to receiving environment and remains in compliance.
- Decreased chemical costs due to reduced product used for nutrient removal.
- Reduced polymer requirements for sludge dewatering decreases chemical costs.
- Decreased sludge volume can result in disposal cost savings.
- Reduced odor levels diminish insect population and public complaints.
