The ECODOSE system combines science, technology and engineering process protocol in a unique, synergistic process train to remove predetermined contaminants from wastewater.
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, the 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.
