The ELCAT™ is a proprietary electro-catalytic wastewater treatment process that offers a high degree of treatment of toxic, non-biodegradable materials quickly and at low cost.

The first stage of the ELCAT™ process utilizes electrochemical oxidation treatment in an electrolizer having insoluble electrodes, in presence of chlorine ions (Cl) that form chlorine containing oxidizing agents. The second stage of the ELCAT™ process includes catalytic oxidation of the remaining pollutants present in the wastewater by non-chlorine oxidizing agents, in the presence of an added catalyst.

Aquarius’ ELCAT™ offers substantially higher purification of toxic, non-biodegradable material in half the time of other technologies and at comparatively low cost. Compared to traditional methods, in which oxygen-containing chlorine compounds are simply added to wastewater, ELCAT™ treatment offers substantially higher level of treatment. The ELCAT™ process purifies wastewaters such as toxic chemical mixtures, including dyes, detergents, phenols, cyanides, pesticides, herbicides and the like. The synergetic effect of the ELCAT™ treatment leads to full color removal, detoxification and odor elimination.

Performance
ELCAT™ is currently installed in several industrial wastewater treatment facilities in chemical, food and textile industries.

Typical removal efficiencies of waste constituents are:

  • Dyes: 98-100%
  • COD: 75-85%
  • Detergents: 75-85%
  • Phenols: 90-99.9%
