COD & TOC Removal
Advanced COD & TOC Reduction with Sustainyx Solutions - Engineered to perform where conventional systems reach their limits.
Industrial wastewater is becoming increasingly complex, often containing non-biodegradable and persistent organic compounds that cannot be effectively treated using conventional biological or physico-chemical processes.
While primary and secondary treatment stages remove a significant portion of the organic load, many facilities continue to face challenges such as:
- Residual COD and TOC
- Non-biodegradable or refractory compounds
- Difficulty in consistently meeting discharge norms or reuse targets
The Challenge with Conventional Treatment
Most treatment systems are designed to handle biodegradable organics. However, modern industrial effluents, particularly from chemical-intensive processes contain compounds that:
- Resist biological degradation
- Remain stable across multiple treatment stages
- Accumulate and impact downstream processes
This typically results in:
- COD plateau after biological treatment
- Increased reliance on chemical dosing
- Higher operational costs and process complexity
- Increased load on ZLD
PlasmaConnect™: A Targeted Oxidation Approach
PlasmaConnect™ (C-ION™) introduces a high-efficiency advanced oxidation stage designed specifically to address the fraction of wastewater that conventional systems cannot effectively treat.
Using plasma-generated reactive species, the system:
- Breaks down complex and stable organic molecules
- Reduces non-biodegradable COD and TOC
- Improves overall treatment performance
- Enhances efficiency of downstream processes
Typical Integration Points
PlasmaConnect™ can be seamlessly integrated into existing systems at key stages:
- Post-biological treatment (as a polishing step)
- Prior to tertiary treatment or reuse systems
- As part of ZLD system optimization
Key Benefits Across Industrial Applications
- Targeted reduction of residual COD and TOC
- Reduced dependence on excessive chemical dosing
- Improved consistency in meeting discharge norms
- Stabilization of downstream processes
- Modular, compact, and scalable deployment
