Industry - Ultrasound degrades pollutants

  • Industrial wastewater treatment
  • Processing of water for industrial use
  • Treating surfaces
  • Desorption of organic substances
  • Dissolving of cell contents to enable recycling

Refractory organic pollutants, normally only treatable by costly chemical processes such as with leachate from landfills, can be so significantly altered with respect to their chemical structure by subjection to ultrasound that they become biologically degradable.

So now even particularly difficult wastewaters (containing tributyltin, TBT, for example) can be treated with the confided to the generally available and economically advantageous biological method.

We are developing a broad range of previously unknown ultrasound variants resulting in new procedures for intensifying the processing of surfaces. Desorption of organic and inorganic substances and pollutants is improved in the reclamation of polluted soil.

As with wastewater processing for the local community, we can employ our innovative technology and procedures in the industrial field in order to speed up and improve the techniques traditionally employed in biological wastewater processing and the treatment of sludges.
