This has enabled OZOVAL to develop a RECYCLOX system (patent pending), which operates without the addition of chemicals, is fully automated (connected) and self-sufficient in terms of energy consumption.
In France, the focus of attention in water treatment in recent years has potentially been on the elimination of micropollutants from wastewater before discharge (particularly from urban wastewater treatment plants) and/or reuse. Indeed, micropollutants are found, on the one hand, directly in rivers, with harmful and irreversible effects on the ecosystem through bioaccumulation, and on the other hand, indirectly in water purification plants, where treatment of these micropollutants is uncertain or even impossible for most conventional plants.
Most of the systems currently used to deal with micropollutants are separation systems, not treatment systems. These systems isolate the pollution, but do not treat it.
We mainly distinguish processes using membrane systems, physico-chemical treatment or activated carbon as tertiary treatment. These systems are characterized by low separation efficiency and significant operating costs.
The disadvantages of these classic systems are:
- They are bulky systems and require a lot of available space
- The system generates a lot of sludge, which must then be treated or stored.
- Air treatment problems (presence of odors)
- The system generates a lot of sludge, which then has to be treated or stored.
OZOVAL has developed a RECYCLOX system (patent pending), which operates without the addition of chemicals, is fully automated (connected) and self-sufficient in terms of energy consumption. Thanks to its operating system based on a new “hybrid ozonation” technology, it can be used either as a tertiary treatment system, notably for the total removal of micropollutants, or as a complete treatment and recycling system for industrial and/or urban wastewater. This new technology also enables existing systems (biological, physico-chemical, membrane treatment….) to achieve the desired discharge standards in terms of dissolved pollution, particularly micropollutants.
