2. Treatment system overview
• Continuous flow system using electrofloccultraton
– Filter and membrane free
– No added chemicals, reagents, flocculants or clarifiers
• Removes the widest array of contaminants
• Power saving up to 80%
• Opex cost saving up to 80%
• A 40’ container can treat up to 0.2MGD
3. Technology overview: How the process works
Effluent Enters Clean water in end
chamber
Chemical reactions occur in
middle chambers
4. Technical Aspects
• Uses a bubble – ion barrier to remove pollutants
• Pollutants automatically removed during operation
• Removes most pollutants better than DAF
• Removal rates typically 95% to 98%
• Power usage depends upon pollutant loading, typically 0.3 to
0.7kWh/m3
• Fast throughput, typically 1hr from polluted to cleaned water
• Fully scalable
5. Treatment Capability
Halogenated hydrocarbons
Benzene ring structures
Most natural and many synthetic dyes
Ink, pigments and paint
Monomers and polymers
Decaying animal and vegetable matter
Asbestos, clay and other suspended
solids
Some low atomic number ions, B, F ,Mg,
Al, Ca
Nitrates and nitrites
Removal of other Kjeldahl nitrogen
variable
BOD/COD – large molecules
<300ug/MOL difficult to remove
Free and emulsified fats, oils, grease
>C6 Hydrocarbons
Cations with atomic number>23
(including hexavalent chromium)
Anions with atomic number >33
(including bromide and iodide)
Chemicals such as cyanide, arsenate,
phosphate
Pathogens such as algae, bacteria and
viruses
Soaps and detergents (MBAS active
substances)
Removal of radioactive contaminants
6. Process Results
1. Oil & petroleum in stagnant water with algae treated in 60 minutes
2. Raw sewage treated within 45 minutes
13. Unique Features
• No filters to clog; No chemicals to pollute
• 98% of contaminants removed
• Very low energy use - typically 20kW for 275,000 GPD
• Can be solar powered
• Automated process with Remote monitoring
• Scalable from 10,000G/D to over 10MG/D
• Complements other water treatment processes
• Very small footprint – 0.2MGD fits into a shipping container
• Less than 5% of the water is removed with the waste
• The waste is inert, non leachable; suitable for landfill or fertilizer
• Highly suitable system for environmentally sensitive sites
14. Australian Systems
1. Operational mine site in Sydney. Tasked to clean storm water and mining effluent before
it enters the National Park and drinking water catchment. Delivering 200,000gal/day
2. Small 20’ system at the Adelaide sewage plant
3. Other sites include:
a. Providing drinking water in National parks
b. Providing drinking water in two State prisons
c. Providing drinking water in a large seasonal caravan park
d. Cleaning ballast water from a Sydney Marina
e. Recycling water used to clean council garbage trucks
f. Providing primary and secondary treatment for a food manufacturer
