Advanced Oxidation Solutions for Industrial Effluent
Modern industries across the Middle East face increasing pressure to manage wastewater containing persistent pollutants. Advanced oxidation process technology offers a reliable pathway to break down resistant compounds that traditional methods cannot handle. These systems generate hydroxyl radicals and other reactive agents capable of degrading complex organics. RTW delivers a specialized advanced oxidation process for wastewater treatment systems that combine efficiency with environmental responsibility. Our capabilities include Electrocoagulation (EC) and Electro-Oxidation (EO). Both are widely recognized for their operational stability and cost-effectiveness with adaptability across diverse sectors.
Electrocoagulation (EC)
Electrocoagulation is a proven method for removing suspended solids and emulsified oils as well as metals from industrial effluent
Operational Method:
Direct current is introduced into wastewater through metallic electrodes.
The electrodes release ions that destabilize charged contaminants.
Pollutants bind into larger flocs that are removed via sedimentation or filtration.
Advantages of EC
Chemical Independence
Reduces reliance on external coagulants.
Industrial Flexibility
Applicable across textiles, petrochemicals, food, and beverage sectors.
Energy Conscious
Achieves high treatment outcomes with low power use.
Electro-Oxidation (EO) Systems
Electro-Oxidation is an electrochemical method that generates powerful oxidants, including hydroxyl radicals, directly within the water matrix.
Operational Method:
Current applied to electrodes produces oxidizing species.
These species degrade complex molecules or mineralize them into water and carbon dioxide.
Advantages of EO
High Contaminant Reduction
Treats pesticides, dyes, pharmaceuticals, and other persistent pollutants.
Low Residual Sludge
Limits secondary waste production.
Integrated Disinfection
Neutralizes bacteria, viruses, and microorganisms.
Combined EC and EO Systems
EC and EO deliver a comprehensive approach when applied together. EC removes solids and heavy metals, while EO addresses dissolved organic matter and pathogens. This combined framework improves the advanced oxidation process. It results in effluent that consistently meets strict discharge standards in the Middle East.
Industrial Applications of AOPs
Treatment of textile industry wastewater, including dye residues.
Petrochemical and refinery effluents.
Food and beverage processing discharges.
Chemical and pharmaceutical manufacturing effluents.
RTW stands among recognized advanced oxidation process vendors that offer end-to-end project delivery. Each solution is engineered to ensure compliance and operational savings with measurable environmental improvement.
Advanced Oxidation & Electrochemical.
Electro and oxidation systems for colour, toxicity and COD that biology cannot break down.
Some streams will not respond to biology alone. These systems break stubborn molecules apart, remove colour and knock down toxicity so the rest of the plant can do its job — or so the effluent meets a strict limit.
Removes
Colour, refractory COD, micro-pollutants and toxicity
Used in
What we manufacture.
Each unit is sized from lab tests on your own effluent and built in our facilities in Saudi Arabia, Bahrain and Pakistan.
Electrocoagulation (EC) reactor
Coagulant generated electrically from sacrificial plates — breaks stable oil emulsions and removes colour and metals with far less chemical dosing.
Electro-oxidation (EO) cell
Specialised anodes that oxidise refractory organics, colour and ammonia, including in saline streams, with no sludge generated.
Advanced oxidation (AOP) unit
Ozone, peroxide, UV or catalytic combinations that produce hydroxyl radicals to mineralise pharmaceuticals, pesticides and other micro-pollutants.
Why it matters.
- Treats non-biodegradable COD
- Removes colour to visual limits
- Improves biodegradability ahead of biology
- Compact, modular and automated
