Water treatment  [ Return towards  Clean Processes  ]

Injecting carbon dioxide is an easy, cost-effective and very safe way to control your effluents' pH. Whenever their alkalinity is too high, a simple injection of CO2 will take you to the neutral zone with no risk of becoming over-acidic. Moreover, CO2 is much less troublesome to handle than most chemicals !

The use of oxygen in a biological basin not only greatly enhances the efficiency of your water treatment unit but also increases the settlability of the sludge, radically cuts your energy consumption, and substantially reduces foul-smelling substances.

Key to our contribution to your success is our extensive experience gained over more than 20 years in many countries, and in most industries.

We have also developed state-of-the-art gas/liquid transfer systems, which allow you to control your own de-pollution costs :

• VENTOXAL™ is our 500-times referenced oxygen transfer device. Oxygen flows of up to 240 kg/hr can be injected through a single unit to deliver maximum yield !

• TURBOXAL™ has been specifically developed for shallow basins (less than 4 meters deep), where a smart floating device will optimize the oxygen bubble plume in such a way that O2 will be optimally dissolved in water.

Whenever your waste stream needs discoloration of hard COD abatement, think ozone !

Generating ozone from oxygen can be performed inelectic generators. One of our skills is injecting ozone in water safely and efficiently. We also know how to couple between ozone injection, oxygen-rich off gas recovery and its re-use in a biological basin. Which enables you to benefit from a fully integrated solution.

At AIR LIQUIDE, we keep working on wastewater treatment in a broad range of on-going new technology development projects. Which means that our experts will probably find a solution to any problem you may encounter.

And we don’t just known about carbon dioxide, oxygen, ozone, and new technologies. We have developed a wide range of services related to wastewater treatment, such as sizing your units, modeling the flow streams in your basins, maintaining your transfer devices, tele-monitoring your key parameters and sending them to your on-duty teams. We can integrate these and more into a full-service package, crafted specially for your needs.
