Experimental benchmarks, patent reviews, and thermodynamic system designs.
Ozone (O3): The Strongest Oxidant in Quaternary Treatment
Why ozonation is the benchmark technology for micropollutant and microplastic elimination in municipal and industrial wastewater facilities.
Pure Oxygen (O2) vs. Ambient Air: Aeration Efficiency
How targeted pure oxygen dissolution slashes energy consumption in aeration basins by up to 50% and dramatically maximizes standard oxygen transfer efficiency (SOTE).
Gas Injection & Microbubbles: Venturi & Thermodynamics
Hydrodynamic fundamentals of mass transfer: Henry's Law, Whitman two-film theory, Venturi injector nozzles, and bubble-free membrane contactors.
Ozone-Oxygen Separation & Hydrophobic Membranes
Cryogenic enrichment and bubble-free ozone mass transfer via PTFE/PVDF membrane modules to eliminate off-gas hazards and bromate formation.
Sewage Sludge Co-Incineration in Power Stations
Thermochemical valorization of municipal biosolids: sludge volume reduction, phosphorus recovery, and industrial CO2 emission avoidance.
Hydrodynamic Cavitation & AOP: Synergistic Oxidation
Localized extreme shockwaves generate hydroxyl radicals (OH•), accelerating refractory chemical destruction kinetics by multiple factors.
PFAS & PFOS Degradation: Destroying Forever Chemicals
Cleaving ultra-stable carbon-fluorine bonds through integrated hydrodynamic cavitation, ozone plasma, and advanced oxidation architectures.
Ozone Strong Water Dosing: High-Concentration Side-Streams
Economic design of side-stream mass transfer: Achieving maximum ozone saturation with minimal hydraulic pressure loss across main flows.
CO2 Sequestration & Neutralization in Alkaline Effluents
Industrial carbon capture and utilization (CCU): Using flue gas CO2 for mineral acid-free pH balancing and bicarbonate buffering.
Membrane & Ultrafiltration in Advanced Water Treatment
Hollow-fiber modules and cross-flow filtration: complete barrier against bacteria, viruses, and colloids as upstream/downstream stage for ozonation.
Topics I Write About & Where I Exchange Ideas
Alongside my day job, I keep coming back to a set of technical questions: ozone and oxygen transfer, quaternary treatment, cavitation/AOP, and the economics behind technologies. I enjoy exchanging views on all of these — as a free, non-binding exchange of experience, without commercial intent.
