Pathogen Destruction
There are literally thousands of known pathogens.
Additionally, depending on the process -"one man's weed is
another man's rose " - meaning for some, the destruction of
pathogens is not a desired result!
However, the following is a brief list of the various pathogens
that tests on water exposed to the EOH2O process have been
reduced to "non-detectable" levels in fresh, municipal,
industrial, and agricultural water:
Bacterial Organisms: Fungi:
micrococcus trichoderma viride
streptococcus Sartorya fumigata
bacillus
virio
coliforms
Non-pigmentd Flagellates:
Astaia
Ciliates: Amoebas (amoeboid stages):
Lionotus A. radiosa
Paramecium
Colpoda
Cynobacteria-Diatoms-Flagellated Algae-Green Algae and
Associated forms:
anacystis chroococcus eustrum
merismopedia merismopeia navicula
stauroneis micrasterias chlorella
palmella desmidium hildenbradia
chlorogonium diatoma rhodomonas
etraspora

PERSISTENT ORGANIC PESTICIDES
(POPs)
(POPs)
POPs are the most persistent organic pesticides as identified by the UN
Environment Program, and represent a fraction of the literally hundreds of
carbon-hydrogen based pesticides, fungicides, and herbicides that have been
found in ground water, streams, rivers, and wells throughout Latin America,
the former Soviet Republics, Africa, the United Kingdom, the United States,
Central Europe, and all of Asia.
The one’s noted here are the most prevalent, as some resist photo-oxidation,
microbial (anaerobic and/or aerobic) degradation, incineration, and
accumulate in agricultural soils.
The German government, in their report to the UN on endocrine disruptors have
identified all these chemicals as such, and also that residuals of these
chemicals have been found in post-treated municipal fresh water, and post-
treated municipal wastewater discharges in Europe and the former Soviet
Republics. This primarily points to the failure of carbon absorption, ozone,
microbial degradation, and chlorination to oxidize/reduce these compounds to
their elemental state. In some cases, the post treatment actually makes the
chemicals more harmful then they were previously.
For the EOH2O technology, the carbon-hydrogen compounds we have denoted
oxidation of are no less and no more difficult then the ones denoted by the
UNEP.
Aquatic Technologies is working with the USDA-ARS lab to contact and identify
any on-going grants or interest involving identification of pesticide/herbicide
residuals in agricultural irrigation waters here in the Pacific Northwest,
including contacting of the EPA Toxicology Division to locate issues in other US
states. We hope to tie this into the current organic pathogen inactivation trials
currently being performed by the USDA.

E. COLI - AGRICULTURAL AND STORM
WATER RUN-OFF
WATER RUN-OFF
Numerous tests on hog manure and run-off from composting sites have
demonstrated the ability of the electrolytic oxidation process to rapidly destroy
fecal coliforms, especially Escherichia coli (e. coli) - regardless of turbidity or
suspended organic material.
Coliform counts exceeding 120,000 cmu/ml have been reduced to
"non-detectable levels" without the need of ozone, chlorine, bromide, chlorine
dioxide, or mechanical filtration. Additionally, where ozone was pitted against the
EOH2O process on wastewater from hog manure pits in a continuous batch
treatment regime, ozone at 80lpm injection did not reduce the coliform levels
significantly over a 24-hour treatment period.
Obviously, storm water run-off from urban or agricultural sites can not allow for
24-hour treatment. The volumes are too large and the equipment costs would be
too great for ozone or electrolytic oxidation as a batch treatment. However,
flow-through electrolytic chambers are viable, and can even be placed
underground. Since the effectiveness of the electrolytic oxidation process is not
reduced by waters containing high organic solids, the EOH2O process is a good
alternative for developers, municipalities, and federal agencies for addressing
fecal coliform contamination of surface and subsurface waters.
