Title of the Innovation: Fenton Activated Carbon Catalytic Oxidation (FACCO) process for the treatment of high strength wastewater

Brief About Innovation

Brief Description:

Treatment of wastewater discharged from Industrial with high COD and high TDS with minimum sludge production. It requires low foot print requirement, no odour emission. The treated water will be in the reusable quality.

                  

 

Salient Features:

FACCO is a packed bed reactor and consists of the ferrous ion loaded nanoporous activated carbon catalyst. The organics present in the wastewater were oxidized by the hydroxyl radicals generated by a reaction between ferrous ion and hydrogen peroxide (which is added in the process). The reactor has three zones viz the first zone consists of distribution of wastewater; second zone for mineralizing the dissolved organics by the counter current mode of application of wastewater and air; third zone is used for the separation of treated water from air.

Commercialized/Launched in market:

Implemented in chemical, Pesticide manufacturing industry, Dye intermediate manufacturing industry.
