The substantial benefits of advanced electrochemical oxidation and reduction processes make them suitable for the treatment of a wide variety of aqueous industrial effluents and some of these markets are described below:
- Food processors of many types including abattoirs, ready-made food producers, snack food producers, vegetable processors, canneries, dairies, fruit juice companies, and generally all companies producing biodegradable effluents
- Carpet industries including wool scourers and processors
- Textile dyers and printers of all types
- Pharmaceutical companies producing effluents containing “Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients” (APIs) and associated solvents
- Petrochemical companies producing effluents containing hydrocarbons, haloalkanes and alkenes, solvents, alcohols, etc.
- Chemical manufacturers and speciality chemical companies producing a wide range of effluents containing organic and inorganic compounds
- Waste management companies operating landfill sites producing leachates containing a wide range of recalcitrant and toxic compounds and the cocktail of organic pollutants
- Environmental companies specialising in the remediation of polluted industrial sites containing such substances as cyanides, polyaromatic hydrocarbons (PAH), benzene/toluene/ethylbenzene/ xylene, BTEX compounds), volatile and semi volatile compounds (VOCs and SVOCs), and EU “Priority List” compounds (UK “Red List” compounds)
- Companies and other organisations, such as hospitals, that produce biologically active effluents, i.e. wastewater containing bacterial and microbial cultures
- Industrial and commercial laundries, in particular, those that wish to recycle water and treat the concentrates resulting from membrane separation processes
- Companies using water recycling systems, incorporating filters such as MF, UF, NF and RO and, in particular, the treatment the organic concentrates from their reject streams
- Companies with bioplants, particularly Membrane Bioreactors (MBRs), where DIAMOX pre-treatment with breakdown recalcitrant pollutants including high molecular weight (HMWs) substances and increase biodegradability
- Metal Platers where inorganic reducing agents, such as phosphites, require oxidative treatment in order that they may be effectively removed from effluent streams by coagulation and flocculation using existing separation technologies such as Dissolved Air Floatation (DAF).
