Industrial wastewater treatment is a complex challenge. Wastewater from various industries often contains a variety of pollutants, such as
-
Organic impurities: Oils, greases, hydrocarbons, chemicals
-
Heavy metals: lead, mercury, cadmium, chromium
-
Salts and nutrients: Nitrates, phosphates
-
Microplastics
These pollutants can damage the environment, endanger public health and lead to high disposal costs.
How ultrasonic cavitation works:
At the heart of the water treatment system is the ultrasonic reactor. Ultrasound eliminates bacteria, viruses, drug residues, hormones and microplastics in the water by generating cavitation bubbles.
Cavitation bubbles are created when high-frequency sound waves generate rapid pressure fluctuations in the water. When the bubbles collapse, extreme local temperatures of up to 5,000 °C and pressures of several 100 bar are generated, which can mechanically destroy microorganisms and break chemical bonds in pollutants. At the same time, reactive oxygen species (such as hydroxyl radicals) are formed, which oxidize organic pollutants and render them harmless. Microplastics can be converted into carbon by these processes and removed by physical effects.
This process is efficient, sustainable and requires no chemical additives.
Advantages of ultrasonic wastewater treatment:
-
Effective removal of a wide range of pollutants
