Super Critical Water(SCW)? When water’s temperature and pressure are above 3740C and 221 bar respectively, it enters a supercritical condition.

Its an additional phase to its more familiar solid, liquid and gaseous phases. Under these conditions the physical properties of water change.

Properties Of Super Critical Water
Density is less than that of the liquid;
Viscosity is the same as the gas;
Diffusivity is between the liquid and the gas.

Supercritical Water Oxidation (SCWO)?
SCWO takes advantage of the unique properties of SCW to destroy organic waste.
The organic content of the waste feed is quickly and efficiently converted to carbon dioxide, water , etc.

AquaCritox:
Unique method in sustainable wastewater treatment and sludge destruction.
Uses SCWO, which destroys organic waste safely, without generating hazardous emissions.

Process:
SCW as the reaction medium, and an oxidant such as air, O2, or NO3.
High temperature and pressure.
Organic wastes and metals are oxidized to inert species.
Oxidized to CO2 and H2O along with a release of energy.

Some Facts Of Process:
Rapid & complete reaction.
Total conversion of organics to CO2, H2O, N2
Halogens converted to the corresponding mineral acids
No harmful by-products

Application of SCWO
The alterative for safe disposal is limited.
Deep well injection, open burning are restricted in many areas.
Many process are costly. SCWO represents an economic
alternative.
