"AOP uses one of the strongest known oxidant, the highly reactive hydroxyl radicals which if applied in water can virtually oxidize any compound present in the water matrix. It can reduce the concentration of contaminants with 90% at most efficiency, which earned it the credit of "water treatment process of the 21st century"Â
The ELFLASH STP version of AOP was designed and formulated with great consideration on operational expenses. The idea was to come up with a performance consistent system that will also be economically viable to operate even for small businesses. The concentration of Advance Oxidation Process system design is the combination of ozone gas + water with high pH, which proves to be effective and yet financially viable to operate. The 2020 system design is consistently compliant to DAO 2016-08 parameters of the DENR and have provisions reserve for 100% recycling if opted by the client.
The main goal of ELFLASH STP is to developed a highly effective system design, with locally fabricated equipment for water and waste water treatment that can be affordable even to small industries. Clean and safe water resources can be attained only if everybody, no matter how big or small will be involved. This is our way of responding to our government appeal for mitigating the effect of climate change, thru implementation of economically viable ecological restoration programs.
In the anaerobic digester, the influent undergoes at least 45% removals of organic contaminants which also resulted to elevation of pH level. The AOP equipment on the other hand, saturated the influent with ozone until it reaches the point where a chemical reaction occurs resulting to production of hydroxyl radicals necessary for the treatment process. The micro-bubbles produce by the system increases the overall efficiency and thereby reducing the retention time needed for each process. Tertiary treatment are also in place to make sure DAO 2016 parameters will be achieved consistently or in some cases recycling for non-potable use is still economically feasible.
The ELFLASH STP Advance Oxidation Process System strong points includes low operation and maintenance cost, tolerable noise emission level (less than 45dB), low odor emission and modular in nature for area availability issue.
