Complex organics and pH swings
Antibiotics, solvents, hormones, fine solids, and high organic load create frequent treatment shocks.
Industry Application
Chemical & Pharmaceutical
Pharmaceutical manufacturing uses large volumes of water for synthesis, cleaning, and formulation. The resulting wastewater contains antibiotics, solvents, hormones, and fine solids, along with high organic load and fluctuating pH. Treatment requires precision and consistency to meet environmental norms and enable safe reuse.
Keep primary treatment stable
ElectroX is positioned to break down difficult compounds before they destabilize biological and membrane stages.
Improve UF and RO recovery
Hardness and silica reduction helps downstream systems produce more recoverable water with less reject.
Up to
500%
variation observed in the pollutant load.
Industry Challenges
High variation in pollutant load of the stream
Difficult-to-treat organics, high toxicity, variable load
High OPEX in ZLD solutions due to low RO/UF recovery
No reuse opportunity of the conventionally treated effluent
How ElectroX Helps
ElectroX addresses both the treatment complexity and the economics of reuse.
Breaks down complex compounds with zero chemicals in primary treatment.
Effectively absorbs pollutant shock loads of up to 300% without destabilizing the process.
Lowers hardness and silica to increase recovery across downstream UF and RO systems.
