Advanced Oxidation Process
in Water Treatment

Our goal is to provide the world with safe clean water. The Advanox™ Flex gives you the tools to make this as easy as possible, offering a turn-key advanced oxidation solution that is both efficient and effective.

Advanced Oxidation Processes (AOP) break down micropollutants in water using hydrogen peroxide and UV light, making it possible to treat many types of water effectively. Micropollutants are the new challenge we need to face if we wish to increase our water quality and reduce our ecological impact.

The micropollutant challenge

Modern advances in welfare, food supply and health have left their mark on our water systems. We now find increasing amounts of pesticides and pharmaceuticals such as antibiotics, medicines and hormones in our water, with the environmental impact becoming increasingly evident.

How Advanox™ technology works

The Advanox™ system utilises UV-C light from highly efficient low-pressure lamps as a catalyst to create powerful hydroxyl radicals from hydrogen peroxide. These radicals thoroughly break down contaminants in milliseconds, converting target substances into harmless residues like water and carbon dioxide with minimal by-products.

As stated in the product documentation, this process leaves “only clean water without harmful by-products (such as bromate and NDMA), residues or safety risks” (uvo3.co.uk).

Available products: The Advanox™ Flex range

The Advanox™ Flex consists of a flexible arrangement of reactors from the Focus series, specially developed for AOP applications. These reactors feature:

• Integrated static mixing
• Precise dosing points

Advantages Over Alternative Technologies

• No concentrate stream to deal with (unlike membrane processes)
• No activated carbon filled with contaminants to dispose of
• No risk of harmful bromate/chromate formation (as with ozone applications)
• Inherently low maintenance requirements
• Small footprint
• Robust process

Applications

The Advanox™ technology has proven effective in diverse research and applications:

• Removal of plant protection products from greenhouse wastewater
• Elimination of micropollutants from industrial wastewater treatment plant effluent
