Firstly, water is treated in a cavitation chamber to destroy organic molecules. At this stage, micro-bubbles of less than 0.1 mm diameter are formed which homogeneously fill the volume. Then the water is treated by powerful Ultraviolet-radiation of 180-300 nm wavelength that results in both direct photochemical oxidation and the formation of ozone, hydrogen peroxide and other active radicals in the gas bubbles. The intensity of oxidation reactions in the treated water multiplied significantly thus increasing the oxidation of dissolved chemicals. Unit output is a 100-fold increased compared to prototype units.Tests of the experimental water treatment units have been conducted at 0.5 m3/hour output for the removal of dissolved petroleum products from water. The tests demonstrated a reduction in petroleum content in the water from 2 mg/litre at the unit inlet down to 0.05 mg/litre at the outlet.The unit is manufactured in a modular fashion and has been certified by State Sanitary and Epidemiological Agencies.
Each module has an output of up to 10 m3/hour
Energy consumption - up to 200W
Unit dimensions – ø76/(90)x1300 mm
Weight - up to 10 kg
Service life - up to 9000 hours.
The units demonstrated good performance as and end treatment stages for effluent treatment plants at factories, petroleum storage and distribution facilities, petrol stations, car wash stations, etc.
