There are a variety of advanced oxidation approaches commercially available. Each has a scope of wastewater treatment applications that it is best suited for. HF offers full-scale treatment systems employing different ad-vanced oxidation processes. The two most important factors affecting flow rates are the level of contamination and the ease with which the target contaminant can be oxi-dized. There are several other factors that affect flow rates so in our experience the best way to determine possible project flow rates is to submit a sample to our lab for analysis. This empirical approach enables HF to deliver the most efficient recommen-dations for treatment applications, customizing solutions to specific client require-ments. How does this technology work? In the HF process, ultraviolet light (h) is used to dissociate hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) into two radicals. As an example, the UV oxidation of dichloromethane (a listed EPA Priority Organic Pollutant that is often present as a groundwater contaminant) could go through the following oxidation stages: H2O2 + h -2 OH -OH + CH2Cl2 H2O + -CHCl2 -CHCl2 + O2 / H+ CO2 + 2HCl The net result of the above reactions is that the organic contaminant is completely mineralized, meaning that it is converted to either carbon dioxide gas or water and mineral salt; all innocuous constituents. This ability to completely destroy contami-nants is a major advantage of advanced oxidation over competing processes. In the case of another HF process, ozone (O3) is activated by hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) generating hydroxyl radicals according to the following general equation: 2O3 + H2O2 -2OH + 3O2 Radicals produced in this way destroy organic compounds by the same chemical steps as in the UV/Peroxide case previously mentioned. In addition to the two AOTs described here, there are several other advanced oxidation technologies involving various combinations of ozone, UV light, peroxide, photo-catalysts, homogeneous catalysts and mechanical processes.

If the amount of organic material is fixed we can deter-mine from testing of samples the exact amount of UV power required to eliminate these contaminants. AO3 and 4s provide high power in a small package. AO3 & 4 Medium Capacity Advanced Oxidation Systems Super series AO’s are for industrial users of water to polish out any organic components on a continuous cycle. Fully modular with a base unit containing all of the control components, customers can add UV exposure capacity eco-nomically as requirements change, incoming water quality decreases or for increasing flow rates. Super AO’s are completely AB PLC controlled, and can be linked to plant wide process control systems. Super AOA Series Advanced Oxidation Systems Economics of this technology are enhanced in several ways: 1. Hydroxyl radical production is enhanced up to 1 billion times in the presence of high intensity UV light. 2. The effluent from an AO system is ultra-pure and available for reuse. 3. Many contaminants undergo a destabilization in chemical structure in the presence of the UV light alone. 4. Onsite pilot testing determines the amount of H2O2 required to treat to the desired level. 5. On board Ozone production reduces consumable cost significantly. Three classes of units are available as follows: AO1 & 2 Mini Advanced Oxidation System Very small footprint, batch processing mobile skid that provides waste destruction and treatment, ideal for removing COD, TOC and VOC’s from equipment wash wastes or concentrated from another process. AO1 and 2 models offer the convenience of 100VAC power requirement which means they can be placed literally anywhere, design, finish, construction and mate-rials allows this unit to easily be placed in Labs, Pharmaceutical and Food applica-tions.
