About electro-aeration
Dissolved Oxygen is the key to all life on Earth.
What is Electro-Aeration?
This basis of this technology goes all the way back to the 1940s when they (and still do) use catalytic reactions to break plain salt bonds (NaCl) to make chlorine gases which are then converted to chlorine.
One application is the use of specially configured plates in tubes, or reactors put into pods or containers, to clean huge quantities of fracking/produced water in Texas. This has been licensed out and is currently in use and processing hundreds of thousands of BBLs per day. The Prior Art inventor stayed on in the American oil fields, and Nicholas Eckelberry and Talbott Howard went on to further explore the potentials of catalytic reactions in water.
In oil fields, salinity is very high; as much as 5 times seawater. Thus, in system design, we use the catalytic reactions NaCl to create chlorine and chlorine dioxide (ClO2) in order to bleach the oil of organic material, such as bacteria and Sulphur/iron. I wanted to explore the use of this technology in non-saline or sweet water for non-chlorinated disinfection of wastewaters. We are proceeding on this technological course and are actively bidding on projects for building standards and benchmarking.
In wastewater treatment, the technology can be used for acceleration of organic treatment of all types: from lagoons, lakes, oceans to city water while also removing Iron. These systems are all quite large and EA would not enter into construction or implementation. EA is not a contractor but will work with contractors to license the technology
