| About The EOH2O(TM) Process |
The EOH2O process is referred to by academic publications and various
industrial journals as "electrolytic oxidation", "electro-catalytic precipitation" and
"hydroxyl radical generators". All three are correct, though limiting in their titling.
Standard electrolytic oxidation processes are either voltage limited or current
limited. Meaning that they may apply high levels of DC voltage at low current
(amperage) output, or the opposite - applying high current to the wastewater at
low voltages (normally where the water under treatment is highly conductive).
The EOH2O process applies both - higher voltage with higher current - which is
more effective, faster, and cost efficient. This allows the EOH2O process to be
used on a much wider range of wastewater and freshwater types - from distilled
water for calcium reduction - to swine manure for nitrogen and phosphate
reduction. Because of the unique electrode material and spacing utilized by
Aquatic Technologies , the EOH2O process is able to handle larger flow rates and
total volumes (systems can operate at 5 to 300gpm per electrode) allowing
smaller equipment space requirements while handling larger flow rates - such as
those typical of municipal water systems.
Higher Voltages (supplying an "over-potential" of kinetic energy)
The application of higher voltage allows a greater creation of oxy-radical ions,
which are very powerful oxidizing agents, in many cases, several times greater
then ozone (O3). The greater the number of oxy-radicals created, the faster the
oxidation and precipitation of heavy metals, such as iron, arsenic, nickel,
magnesium, copper, lead, tin, and zinc.
Oxy-radicals are also greater inactivating agents of water-born pathogens such
as coliforms, fungi, viruses, bacteria, yeasts, and various microbial parasites.
Additionally, the higher the voltage, the greater the "cleaving" of chemical
bonds - and thus removal, of chemical pollutants such as ammonium, ammonia,
nitrite, nitrate, hydrogen sulfide, pesticides, herbicides, THM's, MTBE,
petroleum-based aromatics and hydrocarbons, carbonates, and many, many
others.
Supplying Higher Current (an over-potential of thermodynamic energy)
Current (or amperage) when sufficiently applied, can "crack" and thus
precipitate such pollutants as colloidal and soluble silicates (which are present
in virtually all water types and a real problem for R/O and Ultrafine filtration
systems!). Higher current application can also reduce fluorides, mercury,
chlorides, selenium, and various radioactive isotopes. Thus the application of
sufficient current can precipitate pollutants normally only removable by the
addition of flocculating agents or the use of expensive sub-micron membrane
filters.
The EOH2O Name (copyright protected)
The "EOH2O" name is a composite representing what the process is. The "E"
stands for "electrolytic - meaning the application of DC voltage. The "OH" refers
top the various oxy-radical ions the process creates from the water itself. The
"H2O" refers to water-based sources of wastewater. Since Aquatic Technologies
patented process provides an over-potential of kinetic energy - it surpasses
standard electrolytic oxidation technology.
Aquatic Technologies - Who We Are
Aquatic Technologies originally started as a commercial designer and installer of
recirculating fish rearing systems, and through it's investigation of first
generation electrolytic systems, recognized the potential of such technology to
change the face of water treatment. For over 12-years now, Aquatic Technology
and it's owners have been involved in the R&D of enhancing the technology -
overcoming the initial limitations of the equipment and conducting in-field,
real-world testing of the process on over 95-different wastewater and freshwater
sources.
Over the past 3-years, the EOH2O process has been studied by universities and
government agencies in Canada, the United Kingdom, and South Africa, with
systems employed by state and private agencies on commercial tilapia rearing
systems, manure wastewater lagoons, and hazardous wastewater treatment
facilities. Demonstrations are on-going currently for such firms as Petrofac,
British Petroleum, South Africa Oil, Scottish Water Authority,
Honeywell-Singapore, Great Lakes Gas Transfer, the USDA, and Gelita-USA,
among others.
