The VTX Process can be employed in a variety of ways and is easily adaptable to existing wastewater treatment systems. The process treats a wide variety of organic chemicals including a long list of chlorinated solvents, pesticides and other recalcitrant chemicals. It has also been used effectively for treating odors associated with hydrogen sulfide and other sulfonated compounds.
The VTX Process is very simply applied in wastewater treatment. The process requires a correct injection of VTX catalyst and a variety of oxidizing agents such as calcium, magensium, hydrogen peroxide, ozone, persulphate or halogenated compounds, brief mixing and adequate retention time. Significantly, a VTX system requires no materials of special construction and power requirements are absolutely minimal. The contact time for the oxidation process to occur is short, usually well under 3 hours.
The VTX Process can replace existing oxidative wastewater treatment systems of any size. Importantly, VTX based treatment systems are often more efficient and provide for lower cost than competing oxidation treatment systems.
