Applied Process Technology, Inc. Wins First International
Order for 1,4-Dioxane Industrial Wastewater Treatment
Pleasant Hill, CA—April 11, 2005—Applied Process
Technology, Inc. (Applied), a leading U.S. supplier of advanced
water treatment technologies, has received its first international
order for a HiPOx advanced oxidation water treatment system
that will remove 1,4-dioxane from industrial wastewater in
South Korea. The HiPOx system will operate at a flow of 180
to 200 gallons per minute, reducing 1,4-dioxane concentrations
as high as 65 ppm down to required discharge levels, and is
capable of meeting very low discharge limits that may be required
in the future.
"We are very pleased that our HiPOx technology has been
selected to treat this 1,4-dioxane contaminated industrial
wastewater discharge," stated Terry Applebury, Applied's
President and CEO. "This order confirms that the international
community recognizes the value of our HiPOx technology. We
also expect our in-situ PulseOx technology to receive increasing
international attention as we pursue initial marketing efforts
in areas such as Korea, Taiwan and Europe."
The HiPOx order was placed by Toray-Saehan after laboratory
bench test results indicated that HiPOx would achieve more
efficient destruction of 1,4-dioxane at a lower cost than
competing technologies. Applied is providing the system through
G&C Engineering of Seoul, Korea, as part of a turnkey
treatment system.
HiPOx leads the industry in the treatment of waters impacted
by 1,4-dioxane, a compound that cannot be adequately removed
by conventional technologies such as carbon adsorption or
air stripping. The HiPOx advanced oxidation technology combines
hydrogen peroxide and ozone to form hydroxyl radicals, an
aggressive oxidant that reacts chemically with organic compounds,
converting them into benign carbon dioxide and water. The
carbon dioxide is vented off while the cleansed water is returned
to the subsurface, discharged to a surface water body, or
put to productive use such as serving as a source of drinking
water. Unlike air stripping and carbon systems, HiPOx actually
destroys contaminants on-site rather than transferring them
to another medium for further treatment and disposal.
Applied
Process Technology, Inc.provides technically superior
pump-and-treat and in-situ water treatment solutions and services
to the water industry. Applied specializes in treatment technologies
that do not generate byproducts or waste streams. HiPOx products
utilize advanced oxidation and chemical oxidation processes
to perform disinfection, treat Geosmin, odor, taste, and color
contaminants, and destroy a wide variety of VOCs and microcontaminants.
PulseOx in-situ chemical oxidation technology treats groundwater
contamination directly in the aquifer. The novel MBfR technology
utilizes autotrophic biological reduction to destroy contaminants
such as perchlorate, nitrate, and chlorinated solvents. Product
information will be displayed at the Intersol 2005 environmental
tradeshow on April 19-21, in Paris, France. Visit Applied's
