free radicals technology

FRT – how does it work?

• Free radicals are generated in aqueous solutions, by the means of a patent designed electrochemical cell.

• The free radicals being – nascent oxygen, hydroxyl, perhydroxyl and chlorides.

• Using these to create a chain reaction, producing oxidants to form countless highly reactive bubbles.

• Destroying organic matter and reducing other elements.

Highly reactive bubbles (1-10 microns)

415V power

Fresh water supply (maintenance use)

Effluent issues

• Current knowledge is that:– The level of Iron (Fe) is too high in effluent

system– There is Environmental Agency pressure due to

the redness effect and effect on biological life.

• Any other issues with the effluent system?

How can FRT help your process?

• Provide an efficient solution in water recovery• By removal of all organic material & metals ions• Elimination or settlement of suspended solids,

such as clay• Substantial reduction in Biomass and CO2

• Electroflucculation & electrogoagulation• Increased reuse of recycled water

FRT changes Cationic Demand

heavy and fall

FRT can change your profits!

Biofilm formation

Stage 1:

Conditioning layer

Stage 2:

Bacterial Attachment

Stage 3:

Biofilm formation – Exopolysaccharide Biosynthesis

Stage 4:

Biofilm Maturation

Stage 5:

Dislodgement/ Detachment

Obnoxious Odour

• Results of testing carried out on 3 methylpyridine:– Easily combusted by Free radicals

– Oxidant products:

• Carbon Dioxide, Water and ammonia

CH3 6CO2+6H2O+NH3

N

Obnoxious Odour

– Also the Hydrogen sulphide H2S which has an offensive smell and corrosive action is oxidised to: sulphate SO4 and water:

– H2S +5O. SO4 +H2O

Example of FRT capability –

PHARMACEUTICAL WASTE

Removal @ Recovery of floride from an industrial waste stream.

Inlet > 6000ppm reduced to <0.3ppm

Other Applications

• 3rd World water project(s)

• Discharge of waste from Royal Navy vessels

• Ethanol manufacture –removal of odour

• Odour removal from waste treatment plants

• Legionella control

FRT PERFORMANCE

• Turbidity and colour removal• Elimination of suspended solids• Oxidation of organic materials• Eradication of odor formed by bacteria sulphites,

ammonia, and other nitrogen compounds• Bacterial counts to zero if required• Substantial reduction of COD / BOD• Metal ions removal• Hardness reduction and hard scale formation

prevention

Benefits

• Environmentally friendly process• Reduction in fresh water demand• Can be adapted for most aqueous fluid

recovery• Recovery of unusable water• Faster recycling times• Low energy / maintenance costs

FRT ApplicationCase Study – Chartham Mill

• Bacteria = reduced substantially to the required environmental level

• Turbidity = reduced to the environmental level.• Suspended solids = reduce.• TDS = reduced• BOD and COD = substantially reduced.• Obnoxious odour eradicated.• Sticky oily material burned up.• Algae destroyed.
