The Technology
• AOP's represent the newest development in H2O2 technology, and are loosely defined as processes that generate highly reactive oxidative radicals, sometime at the addition of metal catalysts.
•The purpose of AOP is the produce hydroxyl radicals (OH.), a highly reactive oxidizing that reacts with and destroy most organic pollutant in the water.
•Two most important affecting the design flow rate of the active stream are:
The level of contamination.
The ease with which the target contaminants can be oxidized.
•Typically, this means combining H2O2 with ozone or ultraviolet light.

The Bench Test Unit
•Effectively, AOP initiated on-site total destruction of even refractory organics without the generation of sludge or residues.
•This technology is being widely applied to treat contaminated wastewaters, to purify and disinfect drinking waters and process waters, and to destroy trace organics in industrial effluents.
•For sizing of AOP, bench testing and site pilot testing is required for optimizing the full equipment capabilities.
•Hydroxyl radical production is enhanced up to 1 billion times in the presence of high intensity UV light
•The treated effluent is ultra-pure and available for reuse.
•Providing consistency of treatment performance relative to other technologies
•Requiring minimal space and footprint comparing to extended biological processes.
•Ability to destruct stubborn COD that is virtually not responding to biological destruction.
•Use minimal chemical comparing to chemical destruction alone.
•Modular in design and could be relocated and modulated for expansion.
