TRIPLE EFFECT SYSTEM



1) Microwaves are used for both their direct bactericidal effects (thermal and "specific" non-thermal) as well as providing the energy to produce germicidal


2) Ultra Violet UV-C (254 nm) radiation inside an electrodeless bulb. The microwave - powered shortwave UV light (185 nm) in turn generates ozone


3) Ozone Directly destroys micro organisms and bacteria and almost all other biological agents.


Advantages


This triple effect technology has numerous industrial applications for Water and Air Purification and Odour Elimination:

  • Food and Beverages Processing Plants, Water Bottling Plants
  • Swimming Pools, Fish Farming, Fish Hatchery, Aquariums, Oceanariums
  • Secondary Effluent Treatment & Cooling Towers
  • Polluted & Foul smelling water, Storm & Flooding water treatments
  • Pharmaceutical & Cosmetics Industries
  • Hospital & Medical Centers
  • Petrochemical industry for destroying petroleum hydrocarbon contamination
  • Ballast water cleaning including destroying non – indigenous pollutions

  • Oxidation of Organic Compounds BOD (biological oxygen demand)
  • AOX (Absorbable Organo-halogens)
  • COD (Chemical Oxygen Demand) Removal from Landfill Leachate
  • Destroying petroleum hydrocarbon contamination
  • Disinfection and Destruction of Algae
  • Discoloration and Taste Improvement
  • Doesn't just cover up smell – destroy bad Odour
  • Kill airborne bacteria

    • Case Studies demonstrating the use of the "Triple Effect System"

  • SARS Outbreak 2003-2005
  • Effluent Disinfection



    • Mechanisms of Etching (volatilization) of pathogenic bacteria & micro-organisms


  • Physical breakdown by pressure: Microwave energy causes the moisture in cells to boil, resulting in high steam pressure in cells that leads to rupture of cell's membranes.

  • Electrical breakdown by microwave: Microwave radiation interacts directly with cell membranes to induce functional alterations in membrane components.

  • Chemical breakdown

  • by Ozone: because of its high oxidation potential, ozone oxidizes cell components of the bacterial cell wall.
  • by UV: UV light affects cell membrane and cytoplasm targets.

  • Catalysts: The microwaves, ozone and ultraviolet light combination also act as the catalysts, breaking down the ambient oxygen and water vapour molecules into O - and OH - (hydroxyl) radicals.
