Water Recovery Platform

Polymer-assisted clarification followed by staged ozone oxidation for high-strength, starch-rich wastewater. Clarification first, oxidation second — move the easy solids out before ozone demand climbs.

Clarification first, oxidation second.

Capture easily separable particles before ozone demand becomes too high — that keeps the oxidation stages efficient and focuses the strongest claim on clarification and organic-load polishing.

1

Influent conditioning

Equalise

Equalise flow, pH and suspended load so downstream stages see a stable feed.

2

Polymer clarification

Capture

Capture particles and particle-bound organics — the main solids-removal step.

3

Ozone 1

Oxidation

Begin oxidation and colour/odour reduction on the clarified stream.

4

Ozone 2

Polishing

Improve endpoint organic-load removal — the strongest COD/BOD₅ signal.

Endpoint performance

Strongest signal: solids and organic load.

Mean endpoint removal across three test rounds on cassava starch plant data. The final endpoint indicates high removal efficiency for solids and organic load — with nitrogen removal only partial.

Read this correctly

All figures are removal efficiency (%), calculated relative to the control sample within each round — not raw analytical values.

TSS · solids99%
BOD₅ · organics92%
COD · organics91%
TN · nitrogen39%

Avg removal efficiency · a cassava starch plant · n=3 where averaged. Influent/effluent concentration ranges available under NDA.

Screening evidence

A visible endpoint signal — with the caveats kept in frame.

Across three supplied test rounds, solids and organic-load removal remained the strongest endpoint signals. Nitrogen remained partial, which is why the platform is positioned as a clarification and polishing front-end rather than a universal treatment claim.

Honest positioning

What it is — and what it isn't yet.

Best-fit positioning

A modular front-end & polishing platform

For high-strength, starch-rich agro-industrial wastewater, the Water Recovery Platform shows strong efficiency for solids and organic-load reduction under the tested conditions. Sell first as a retrofit module or pilot package, then expand into turnkey systems after controlled validation.

What it is not yet

Not a nutrient-removal or disinfection claim

The current dataset does not support claims of complete nitrogen removal or universal disinfection. Those require additional biological nutrient-removal and/or dedicated disinfection validation before any compliance-oriented claim is made.

Claims supported now

  • Strong TSS removal efficiency
  • Strong endpoint COD / BOD₅ reduction
  • Partial phosphorus reduction
  • Modular clarification + oxidation concept
  • Screening-level technical promise on cassava-type wastewater

Claims we avoid

  • Universal wastewater treatment
  • Complete nitrogen removal
  • Reliable disinfection across matrices
  • Guaranteed regulatory compliance
  • Bankable performance guarantees without pilot validation
Pilot questions we answer

The questions a wastewater buyer asks first.

Public figures are removal efficiency. Everything a technical or compliance buyer needs beyond that is scoped and answered during a structured pilot on your own effluent.

01

Influent range

What TSS, COD, BOD₅, TN and pH range does the feed swing across? We characterise the envelope before sizing.

02

Target discharge / reuse

Which discharge limit or reuse standard must the effluent meet? The target sets the required stages and endpoint.

03

Residuals & sludge

What clarified sludge volume is produced, and what is the dewatering, haulage or beneficial-reuse plan?

04

Ozone energy demand

What is the ozone dose and energy draw per m³ at the target endpoint — a primary operating-cost driver.

05

Polymer type & dose

Which coagulant/flocculant chemistry and dose the feed responds to, and the resulting consumable cost.

06

Cost per m³

All-in treated-water cost — chemicals, energy, sludge and service — confirmed on continuous-flow pilot data.

Validation roadmap

Turn screening data into investor-grade evidence.

1

Split-sample bench test

Baseline

Same source batch, matched treatments, triplicates.

2

Dose-response optimisation

Tune

Polymer dose, ozone dose, contact time, ORP, pH.

3

Pilot skid validation

Prove

Continuous flow, 3–5 test days minimum, mass balance.

4

Commercial proof package

Package

Cost per m³, sludge plan, service model and warranty limits.

Critical caveat

Some samples were collected on different days and times. Current results should be treated as promising screening evidence — not bankable validation. Compliance requires controlled testing and site-specific regulatory review.

Next step

Run a controlled pilot on your effluent.

Position the Water Recovery Platform as a retrofit module today, then validate to funder- and customer-grade claims through a structured pilot.
