Brisben Water Ozonix™ Reactor for Advanced Oxidation of Wastewater
- Super-saturated ozonated water is flash mixed with effluent using hydro-dynamic cavitation through a liquid sparger
- Dual-frequency ultrasonic transducers initiate the dissolved gas flotation of oils and suspended solids and the conversion of ozone to hydroxyl radicals
- In the presence of an ultrasonic cavitation field, Ozone decomposes into hydroxyl radicals and oxygen gas. The hydroxyl radicals oxidize all known organic compounds in a matter of nano-seconds.
- Nano-sized cavitation bubbles implode, providing a liquid-gas interface in a reaction that instantaneously heats the liquid-gas to as high as 900° F, which in turn oxidizes all known organic compounds in 35-100 picoseconds (a picosecond is one trillionth of a second). This phenomenon, known as sonoluminescence, plays a key role in removal of flowback water by-products, so water can be recycled and reused for the hydraulic fracturing process.
