Ovivo’s Post

The #PFAS treatment game become interesting every day with announcments on new integrated sepration+ destruction options offered by serious players. They use various technologies but seem like foam fractionation is popular for separation and elecrtrochemical oxidation for destruction. So far I count: Gradiant AECOM CDM Smith OPEC Systems /Allonia Ovivo I best there are more and it's just the beginning. https://lnkd.in/dM2bFRi5

What is defossilisation? Are current and planned policies a sufficient driver for defossilising the chemicals industry?   These questions are addressed in a new report by ERM funded by F. Hoffmann-La Roche Ltd and commissioned by ccloop, a Swiss association, which has recently been established to accelerate the development of defossilisation solutions in Switzerland.   Access the reporrt here: www.ccloop.ch/literature #Defossilisation #CircularEconomy #CarbonEmissions #FossilFuels #Sustainability Richard Platt, Alex Kauffmann, Hana Douglas, Annette Koehler.

This video highlights the kind of work TURI does so well - connecting companies wanting to innovate with faculty and students wanting to do the same. There ARE safer alternatives to PFAS in products ... we just all need to keep innovating!

Increasingly stringent global restrictions on PFAS manufacturing, use, treatment and disposal have created a significant need for PFAS destruction technologies that eliminate PFAS from waste streams. DE-FLUORO™ is a scalable technology that destroys PFAS from contaminated liquids, including Aqueous Film Forming Foam and concentrated PFAS-impacted water and liquid waste using electrochemical oxidation to achieve acceptable final liquid discharge requirements. Having completed demonstrations of DE-FLUORO up to field-scale in both coupled and standalone configurations, we are ready to share the results and are poised to deploy DE-FLUORO in commercial applications. Learn more about PFAS restrictions around the globe and the role of DE-FLUORO at our upcoming webinar.

Exciting news alert! 🎉 Indaver Solvents has just been granted planning permission for our cooling network extension. 🌍 This means a more efficient setup with optimal condensation of vapours, increased capacity 📈, and even better environmental impact with reduced emissions. 🌱 Stay tuned for the next phase of our journey! #CircularEconomy #SolventRecycling #GreenTech #IndaverSolvents #indaver

If you want the greatest water savings on the market you need #aquaionic But if you are looking to the simplest solution to saving water #aquasave is a drop in hard water treatment that can provide significant water savings. https://lnkd.in/e5yRvumD ProChemTech International, Inc. AquaSave is a patented scale inhibitor that allows a system to mitigate scale formation 2 cycles higher then standard hard water treatment programs. This can greatly reduce both water and chemical usage for a system, and requires no capital investment. If you are running a system what difference would it make to increase your cycles? #prochemtech #industrialwatertreatment

E2metrix will be an exhibitor at next week’s WateReuse California Conference, to be held on November 5th-7th, in Indian Wells, California.   The event will feature a wealth of technical sessions, panel presentations, and networking opportunities, including the latest on the Direct Potable Reuse regulations, the crisis on the Colorado River and reuse solutions, water reuse technologies, and much more.   #PFAS treatment is a crucial element to enable direct potable reuse or any form of water recycling, and onsite destruction is the key to offering a sustainable AND affordable solution.   ECOTHOR®-EOx onsite PFAS destruction process leverages our commercially deployed electro-oxidation reactors and our knowhow from delivering systems for over a decade now to provide this missing piece of the PFAS water treatment puzzle.   Our strategic partner, Ovivo, and their local manufacturers representative, Coombs-Hopkins Company will be on hand to facilitate discussions with the municipal market across the state.   #cleanwater #foreverchemicals #NothingIsForever #BreakFreefromPFAS #innovation  

What is NCCO (Nano Confined Catalytic Oxidation)? NCCO is a novel and innovative adsorptive technology jointly developed by RHT Industries and Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST). It’s as powerful as Activated Carbon but with the added advantages of being sustainable with a longer filter life, safer, greener and more cost-effective. How does it work? It works within a mineral framework of nano-tunnels whose insides are layered with zeolites. These act as catalysts in the presence of active oxygen so that Formaldehyde for instance is converted to harmless CO2 and H2O molecules. The catalysts then regenerate themselves at the adsorption sites to form more sites for further decomposition of organic and pollutive chemicals. No residual pollutants are left, unlike in Activated Carbon, where secondary pollution can be a consequence and a challenge to the lab environment. Find in the next week’s posts as to why NCCO should be considered as an alternative to Activated Carbon and enhance the effectiveness of existing air extraction systems, whilst being greener and more sustainable.

Fantastic job by BioLargo, Inc. CEO Dennis Calvert and IR Alex Evans presenting at the Gobelli 10th Annual Waste & Environmental Services Symposium in NY earlier this week! 👏👏👏 Beyond the company’s expanding #Pooph product and its development of #sodiumsulfur #battery technology, BioLargo’s #AEC technology is uniquely positioned to be the premier solution to the #PFAS problem plaguing industrial #wastesites and #drinkingwater sources nationwide. Despite whatever upfront cost-attractiveness of #carbon or #ionexchange removal methods, the excessive #foreverchemical-laden waste demands substantial costs for handling, transporting, and incinerating—all while ensuring PFAS does not re-enter the #environment. Moreover, the most resistant groups of #PFAS—the #shortchain #PFOS and #PFOA—will persist without BioLargo’s membrane-based, aqueous-electrostatic approach. Less waste translates to less cost, to less risk. BioLargo’s ability to densely concentrate PFAS waste in far less volume—calculable in the equivalent of POUNDS, not TONS—translates to lower costs to clients, lesser risk of PFAS recontamination to the public, and greater optimization of space, #energy use, and #waterconsumption for customers. As more PFAS are subject to #RCRA or #CRCLA designations, their removal will be mandated, and their disposal quickly sought. Standing above and beyond its industry peers, BioLargo will be quickly noticed. #PFAS #PFAS #BioLargo #BLGO #DrinkingWater #EngineeringSolutions #EPA #TradersQue https://www.biolargo.com https://lnkd.in/g_YGGaSk
