HiPOx – Bench Testing
- HiPOx bench test is used to determine effectiveness and efficiency of HiPOx technology to achieve the customer’s treatment objectives
- Bench test is a necessary design tool
- Determine appropriate dose rates of O3 and H2O2 for scale-up to field units
- Correlation of results are very good and scale-up has been successful
- The results of bench test may allow for a Performance Guarantee
- If project is unique, new, or extremely challenging, then the BT may be a preliminary step towards a pilot
- Bench Test:
- Pre-defined number of runs at different doses rates
- Results used to plot a destruction curve for the specific contaminant and water quality conditions
- Curves provide a model, and can be used to predict dose requirement for any required destruction
Typical Case In Environmental Remediation:
H&A – Boeing, Huntington Beach, CA
- 2600 ug/L of 1,4 – Dioxane, 130,000 ug/L of IPA, 150,000 ug/L of Acetone
- Treatment Objective
- 1,4-Dioxane: NPDES discharge goal (<3 ug/L) and POTW discharge goal (<20 ug/L)
- Acetone (<20,000 ug/L), IPA (<160,000 ug/L), and Methylene Chloride (<20 ug/L)
Typical Case In Industrial Process Water
- Influent COD = 180 mg/L
- Treatment Objective COD < 100 mg/L
