How The Technology Works:
Doing what nature does…only a million times faster
We are all familiar with the terms decomposition, oxidation, and reduction; ashes to ashes and dust to dust—all things returning to their natural state. Our Sun supplies the energy that supports almost all life on earth through photosynthesis -this process maintains the atmospheric oxygen levels and supplies all of the organic compounds and most of the energy necessary for life on Earth. Meanwhile, the planet formed a natural water filter over millions and millions of years, layer upon layer of materials from the large stones to the fineness of sands, all the way down to carbon to filter out impurities and then, creating massive underground reservoirs of fresh clean water. Jump ahead millions of years and we find our filter clogged and no easy way to clean it. And thus the global expansion and need of Wastewater Treatment Plants- and for new and innovative technologies to support the ever growing demand.

Practical Explanation
By simulating the conditions of nature in a tightly controlled environmental chamber, the technology solution proposed can rapidly (by order of magnitude) accelerate these processes of decomposition, oxidation, and reduction from decades, centuries, & even millennia to seconds or minutes.

This is accomplished by pumping the wastewater under low to moderate pressure into the “Reactor” Chamber. While in the reactor, at the molecular level, the wastewater is subjected to Mega-high energy, extreme heat and pressure sources. These conditions cause the water (H2O) to literally be torn apart, this explosion causes the creation of plasma as well as massive amounts of Hydrogen (a reducer) and Oxygen (an Oxidizer) to be released as “Free Radicals” ions, into the remaining water, these ions coming in contact with the biological and chemical and solids in the water react violently with these organisms, compounds and metals. In this area of extremely high mass and energy transfer, the cellular membranes are torn apart exposing the organisms to temperatures equaling the surface of the sun and pressures many times greater than the bottom of the deepest oceans. These constituents of the wastewater simply cannot survive and are killed, or reduced to their base origins as harmless organic or inorganic elements, rendering most or all of them inactive. The solids once dissolved in the water now come out of solution and after exiting the Reactor Chamber can easily be separated out.
