Arvia Technology

Adsorption

Energy efficient, trace level, organics destruction with no secondary waste

Electrochemical Oxidation

• Concentrates organics on a surface • Achieves low discharge consents

• Destruction of recalcitrant organics • Chemical free, onsite operation @

room temperature and pressure

NyexTM

• Adsorbs organics / oils / micro-organisms • High specific gravity • Highly conductive • Non-porous • Proprietary material

1 mm

Water Proposition

For target waste streams... • low concentration • toxic/hazardous/recalcitrant organics …the technology delivers: • A complete water treatment solution

• Destroys organics • Disrupts microorganisms • Provides residual chlorination

• a strong ROI

• No chemicals • No secondary waste • Energy consumption proportional to organic

concentration • Adsorbent, Nyex, reused in process

• a solution at source • Mobile, skid mounted unit • Can be retrofitted into an existing plant/process

stream

Gen II water unit is being lifetime tested
