Increasing demand for ecologically effective water treatment technologies has resulted in the development of several new oxidation methods. These technologies are generally labelled Advanced Oxidation Technologies (AOT) or Advanced Oxidation Processes (AOP) and currently represent the most widely recognised alternative for ecologically sound, high-tech water purification.
Many years of intensive research have culminated in our innovative Wallenius AOT technology, a patented method that is remarkable in several ways. It imitates nature´s own water purification method. This means no chemical additives are needed. The technology utilises the ability of light, together with photocatalytic semiconductor surfaces, to produce free radicals, like nature does. These reactive radicals create an environment in which organic and inorganic substances oxidise, whereby a broad spectrum of organisms are rendered harmless more effectively than with conventional UV technology. The entire process takes just a few micro-seconds.
A major advantage of the technology is that it can be adjusted according to the desired degree of purification. By altering the dynamics of the process, we can design the purification for specific applications. In this way, Wallenius AOT tackles precise problems, regardless of flow and whether the problem is chemical or biological.
