The combination of state-of-the-art UV and ozone technologies with additional oxidant and catalytic process steps as well as extensive pilot trials helped ESCO International design innovative advanced oxidation processes that can be extended to new challenging fields such as TOC (total organic carbon) reduction which were previously thought to be unworkable and uneconomical.
ESCO International installed and successfully tested its high performance advanced oxidation process, the CATADOX, for the reclaim and reuse of 300 m3/h of process water containing up of 20 ppm of TOC (total organic carbon). The reduction target was met thanks to the high performance of the advanced oxidation system design and as a result the company saves up to 2.6 millions m3 of water per year.
On site optimization of the advanced oxidation process (AOP) operating parameters was successfully carried out in order to meet the required TOC reduction of 75%. As a result, ESCO International designed and supplied a new advanced oxidation plant to treat 600 m3/h of water for TOC reduction.
ESCO International offers full scale ozone and advanced oxidation processes (AOP) for water and gas treatment applications. Our advanced oxidation processes are most often used to treat challenging and specific organic compounds from water and cost effectively reduces TOC and hard COD.
Advanced oxidation processes can efficiently treat a wide range of recalcitrant & bio-toxic organic contaminants, Endocrine Disrupting Compounds (EDCs), Pharmaceutical and Personal Care Products (PPCP), Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (API), hard COD and is very effective against new and challenging applications such as TOC reduction.
ESCO International provides an innovative portfolio of technical services and equipment, specializing in Ozone, UV systems and engineered advanced oxidation processes for water, gas effluents and odor treatment.
