An ECODOSE system consists of an electron generator,
coupled to an electrochemical reactor housing a specified
number of confined metal electrodes, configured to
effect the predetermined depollution of a particular wastewater.
The reactor treats a wastewater flow (now called
an electrolyte). Confined metal electrodes are suspended
in the electrolyte flow so that an electric current passes through.
This current generates a number of reactive chemical species. These reactive species are engineered and manipulated to convert, destroy, react with, precipitate or change some or all of the pollutants. The resultant product is then separated, or escapes from the electrolyte, or is no longer a pollutant.
For example, by generating a ferric-cation in the
reactor the ECODOSE system can cause a phosphate reaction that yields
an irreversible precipitation of phosphate from the wastewater to a level
below 1 milligram per litre. Should it be required, simultaneous removal
of sulphates, organics, chlorides, fluorides, heavy base metals and radio-nuclides
can also be carried out during this process.
It is evident that, by the imaginative combination
of chemical species generated and the various contaminants to be removed,
a virtually unlimited treatment and purification potential exists.
The ECODOSE system offers the following advantages:
1. |
ease of supervision, |
2. |
ease of application of ready-to-use input materials, |
3. |
transportable and mobile with small footprint, and |
4. |
push-button functionality for start/stop and flow management. |
