Scientists at Caltech documented that the system totally annihilated complex organic compounds in water. beneficial use standards, whereby the treated water can be reused for irrigation, groundwater recharge, industrial applications, etc. Cost estimates to treat most wastewater streams to beneficial use standards using such treatment modules are between 10 cents and 18 cents per 1,000 gallons. The conventional water treatment practice for discharge purposes incorporates aeration, biological digestion, alum flocculation and final filtering through gravel and sand. The average PLE10084Fluidmet.indd 1 9/11/08 cost of treatment per is 64 cents per 1,000 gallons. However, for treatment to beneficial use standards, the costs are greater than $1 per 1,000 gallons. The plasma discharge system accomplishes such treatment in a single pass of the waste stream. In most cases, there are no chemicals added in the process, and the residence time of the treated water for effective total dissolved solids and total suspended solids separation can occur in minutes. It is anticipated that the systems and modules would be impleOil Water Separators mented in wastewater treatment plants for secondary and tertiary (i.e. beneficial use status) treatment, for industrial water treatment, • Stainless Steel or Carbon Steel • Revolutionary non-plugging coalescing media complete and effective remediation of drinking water wells impact• 99.99% removal of free and dispersed oil greater ed with hazardous organic compounds, water disinfection, and for than 20 micron in size pretreatment of desalination plants. • Efﬂuent free oil concentration < 5PPM When treating waste streams containing a high-BOD loading, • Above and below ground units available the system would require no digesters, since the sludge is sterile • Meets European Union’s Performance and inert immediately upon discharge from the submerged Standard EN 858-1 electro-hydraulic chamber.
