Chemical-Free Water Recycling Technology Aids Hurricane Sandy Recovery
Published on by Water Network Research, Official research team of The Water Network in Technology
In the wake of the superstorm, municipal water treatment plants have been completely overwhelmed by the need to get this contaminated water out of the roadways and people's basements, without any safe place to put it. New York-based Advanced Waste and Water Technology (AWWT) has stepped in, offering its patented chemical-free water recycling technology to immediately assist with contaminated water cleanup efforts in the Tri-State area.
AWWT's ElectroCleanse technology could be key to making progress on contaminated water cleanup projects. The technology uses electricity, rather than expensive, dangerous chemicals, to remove contaminants from water. This process, known as electrocoagulation, precipitates dissolved heavy metals by a combination oxidation reduction reaction that in many cases produces oxide crystals that are very stable. The on-site treatment systems are able to remove volatile and non-volatile pollutants such as petroleum, diesel, kerosene, chemicals, sewage and saltwater, among others. Although electrocoagulation won't produce drinkable water, it is a necessary pretreatment for water that can't be cleaned through traditional methods.
