Procédés d'oxydation avancée (POA)
Détruisez les organiques récalcitrants, la couleur et les contaminants émergents avec l'ozone, UV/H2O2 et l'oxydation photocatalytique.
🤖 Aperçu IA
Les procédés d'oxydation avancée (POA) génèrent des radicaux hydroxyle hautement réactifs (OH·) qui minéralisent pratiquement n'importe quel contaminant organique. BioTerraVa conçoit des systèmes POA pour l'élimination de la couleur, la destruction pharmaceutique, le traitement des PFAS et le polissage d'effluents — atteignant >90 % de destruction des contaminants dans des systèmes compacts et automatisés.
Le défi
Contaminants Resistant to Biological Treatment
Many industrial and emerging contaminants are designed to be stable and resistant to biological degradation. These compounds pass through conventional treatment and create environmental and regulatory risks.
- Pharmaceuticals and APIs toxic to biological systems
- Dye molecules with stable chromophore structures
- PFAS with extremely strong carbon-fluorine bonds
- Phenolic compounds and chlorinated organics
- Endocrine-disrupting compounds and personal care products

FAQ
Questions fréquemment posées
What are advanced oxidation processes in wastewater treatment?
Advanced Oxidation Processes (AOP) are water treatment methods that generate highly reactive hydroxyl radicals (OH·) capable of destroying virtually any organic contaminant. Common AOPs include: ozone + hydrogen peroxide, UV + hydrogen peroxide, Fenton's reagent (iron + hydrogen peroxide), and photocatalytic oxidation (TiO2 + UV). AOPs are used for colour removal, pharmaceutical destruction, PFAS treatment, and effluent polishing where biological treatment is insufficient.
How much does AOP wastewater treatment cost?
AOP operating costs range from $0.50-$3.00 per m³ depending on the oxidant, target contaminants, and water quality. Ozone AOP is typically $0.80-$1.50/m³ for colour removal. UV/H2O2 is $1.00-$2.50/m³ for pharmaceutical destruction. Fenton's reagent is $0.50-$1.20/m³ for high-COD industrial effluent. Capital costs are $5,000-$15,000 per m³/d of capacity. BioTerraVa optimizes AOP design to minimize oxidant consumption.
Can AOP remove PFAS from water?
AOP can partially degrade some PFAS compounds, but complete mineralization of long-chain PFAS (PFOA, PFOS) requires extreme conditions or specialized processes. Conventional AOP (ozone, UV/H2O2) achieves 30-60% PFAS removal. For >95% PFAS removal, specialized processes like electrochemical oxidation, plasma, or supercritical water oxidation are needed. BioTerraVa evaluates PFAS treatment options based on chain length, concentration, and regulatory requirements.
