Wastewater Treatment Based on Electromagnetic Nano-mill
Published on by Oksana Mazur, Project manager at GlobeCore in Technology
AVS is a device operating on the principle of a vortex layer generated by ferromagnetic particles of certain diameter and length. The rotation of the particles is facilitated by electromagnetic fields.
Environmental problems are vitally important and require complex approaches. The most urgent task is improving the water resources of the planet which are polluted by industrial and agricultural waste. This problem is solved by wastewater treatment systems.
Currently wastewater treatment mainly uses ion exchange, reagent and electrochemical methods, which are designed to deal with such harmful substances as chromium, cadmium, nickel, copper, etc. But despite the progress, the question of economical and efficient wastewater treatment still stands.
The reagent and ion exchange methods are laborious and time consuming. They require large amounts of reactants and involve significant operational costs. The equipment used in these technologies is large and bulky. The duration of the treatment may vary from 15 to 40 minutes with 150-250% of reagents use.
The duration of ion exchange is 0.5-1.5 hours. The ion exchangers require a regular recharge by washing in a solution with high concentration of sodium ions that needs further neutralization.
The main disadvantage of electrochemical method is the high power consumption and applicability testing required in each particular case.
THE ELECTROMAGNETIC NANO-MILL AS A PART OF WASTEWATER TREATMENT SYSTEM
Wastewater treatment system with integrated electromagnetic nano-mill (AVS) eliminates the above disadvantages. AVS is a device operating on the principle of a vortex layer generated by ferromagnetic particles of certain diameter and length. The rotation of the particles is facilitated by electromagnetic fields. The device intensifies and improves the quality of wastewater treatment, which is achieved by a number of effects that occur in its chamber, such as vigorous stirring and dispersing, electrolysis, and high local pressures.
Wastewater is treated to remove chromium in a single stage in an alkaline environment, instead of the two-stage process in acidic conditions. This significantly simplifies the process and reduces the consumption of reagent. The wastewater is treated in the AVS in a few seconds instead of the 15-30 minutes in conventional equipment.
Table 1 shows the results of wastewater treatment using AVS.
Table 1
THE RESULTS OF WASTEWATER TREATMENT IN INDUSTRIAL ENVIRONMENT USING AN ELECTROMAGNETIC NANO-MILL
Initial concentration of metals in wastewater, mg / dm3 | pH of the process | FeSO4, percent yield % of the stoichiometric | Alkali reagent percent yield, % of the stoichiometric | Processing Time, seconds | Residual metal content, mg / dm33 |
Сr6+-50 (Fe, Cu, Zn, Ni, Cd)-300 | 7,5-8,0 | 90 | 100 | 0,5-2,0 | (Сr6+, Fe, Cu, Ni) – 0,00. Zn-0,008 Cd-0,007 |
Сr6+-100 (Fe, Cu, Zn, Ni, Cd)-370 | 7,5 | 85 | 90 | 0,5-2,0 | Сr6+-0,20 Fe- 0,00 Cu – 0,12 Ni-0,06 Zn-0,13 |
In conclusion, it is easy to see that using the AVS in wastewater treatment:
- Reduces reagent consumption by 1.5-2 times;
- Reduces energy consumption (0.3 kW × h to 1 m3 instead of 0.6-0.8 kW × h (mechanical stirrer) and 2-6 kW × h (electrocoagulation method);
- Treated wastewater is reused in production;
- Performs reliably and efficiently.

I feel that many processapplications and incoming regulations will justify consideration of AVS
what are costs
Where is the reference listings

Interesting. I am a strong supporter of any type of VORTEX technology. That being said I have a hard time trying to understand how a certain technology that costs more than a loaf of bread to eliminate micronutrients from water. This process is already being done by nature. Microbial biodegrading is now the leading technology on the planet. Vortex technology is being used to accelerate microbial activity. They eliminate odor on contact, chelate all man made toxic substances, reduce all organic compounds into their elemental state, and this allows the former waste water to be part of a 100% closed system. Jungle, desert, country, city, mining facilities in space, all spacecraft travel, and excellent for Mars colonization habitats. It is different. But appears to be a big step backwards.

and even more, Vortex Technology not only accelerates microbial activity, vortex technology allows to do that in very small energy consumption (like 0,0018 kW/s)

It all depends on the process and its capacity. The unit cannot be used as a stand alone unit, it is always a part of the process (like a reactor). We have 2 unit's standard models AVS-100 and AVS-150, the price range is from USD 25 000. If you need some exact information, please send me your requriements to oksana@globecore.com and we will advise how to apply AVS units into your process
