Electro Water Separation™ (EWS) is a highly scalable, continuous process that uses electricity in small, programmed doses to gather up oils and suspended solids, for an easy removal via mechanical raking off the surface of water.

OriginClear’s breakthrough water cleanup technology, called Electro Water Separation™ (EWS), is a high-speed, primarily chemical-free process that efficiently extracts highly diluted, nonsoluble suspended contaminants from very large quantities of water.

Waste water enters the system through continuous tube-shaped inline Electro Catalytic Reactors. These reactors optimize contact between their active components and the water flux. The process is an energy efficient continuous system. This part of the process can be designed to use donating anodes that directly release these ions in the water/contaminants matrix, or to operate using non-degrading Dynamically Stable Anodes, where previously injected ions are thoroughly mixed, as the application requires. This stage coagulates the suspended solids, oil, grease and non-soluble organics and breaks the oil emulsion, so that all of these can be removed in the next stage, Electro-Flotation.

The generation of Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) begins here. During the Electro-Oxidation stage, an array of reactors at the bottom of the flotation tank produces gases electrochemically, in a controlled manner, resulting in a finely bubbled “cloud”of ROS. ROS are highly oxidant molecules such as ozone, hydrogen peroxide and hydroxyls. Advanced testing has shown that these can degrade virtually any organic contaminant found in water. Being solely composed of oxygen and hydrogen, they also introduce no additional hazardous element in the water, a major benefit for operators. This stage separates the suspended coagulated material and completes the process of breaking the oil emulsion initiated in the previous stage.

OriginClear licenses its core technologies to forward-looking and innovative technology companies and offers a limited number of exclusive partnerships to proven water industry professionals that are driving the advancement of solutions and water treatment systems to fill the urgent need of the people of our planet for clean and reliable water.
