information

Description:

The CAV-OX® technology (see Fig- ure 1) destroys organic contaminants, including chlorinated hy- drocarbons, in water. The process uses hydrogen peroxide, hy- drodynamic cavitation, and ultraviolet (UV) radiation to photolyze and oxidize organic compounds present in water at part per million to nondetectable levels. Ideally, the end products of the process are water, carbon dioxide, halides, and in some cases, organic acids. The major components of each CAV-OX® system are the cavitation chamber, UV reactor, and control panel unit.
