polishing industrial wastewater for reuse

20% of the world’s fresh water is used in industry – for everything from refining oil to building cars and processing sugar. The resulting wastewater (often called grey water) is typically environmentally unsafe containing toxins, high levels of salt, and other chemicals.

More and more countries and municipalities are trying to find environmentally friendly and economical methods of cleaning grey water in mass for reuse. They seek to“polish” it to a level which meets discharge standards for reuse in industry or in municipalities for watering lawns, building manmade lakes, and other non-drinking applications.

Most local and national organizations employ vast desalination facilities to prep the water for reuse. However, the desalination process is aimed at removing the salt content and usually leaves behind toxins and other impurities which cause the water to remain cloudy and smell.

Our technology dovetails extremely well in making desalinization more efficient and effective because the electro-oxidation process is fueled by salt content in the water. Employ Neohydro in the desalinization process as a pretreatment process or for polishing the grey water afterwards.  

During electro-oxidation, an oxidizing solution of monatomic chlorine, ozone, hydroxyl radicals, hydrogen peroxide is created from water and salt molecules (see our technology section for more). This solution deodorizes and removes existing contaminants (heavy metals, organics, fats) and leaves behind trace amounts of chlorine which help ensure the ongoing cleanliness of the water.  

Our technology not only quickly and cost efficiently cleans grey water, but it delivers water with residual cleaning effect.  This is especially good given the issues of biological build up during the transportation process.
