Water Technology Group Digital Associate Editor Robyn Tucker spoke with Dr. Tim Mollart, senior applications engineer at Element Six Group, about water treatment applications for the boron doped diamond, which his company manufactures.
Applications include caustic wastewater from oil refining activities, textile waters where de-coloring is desired, toxic pharmaceutical wastewater, landfill leachate which can include ammonia and nitrates. "It’s the fact that diamond is a catch-all advanced oxidation treatment process that’s really key here," said Mollart.
Boron diamond is effective for three key reasons:
It suppresses the oxygen gas generation whilst generating a hydroxyl radical.
It is chemically inert.
You can operate the systems at extremely high-power density and extremely high efficiency.
Medium- and low voltage equipment specifiers can adopt digital twin technology to adopt a circular economy approach for sustainable, low-carbon equipment design.
Medium- and low voltage equipment manufacturers can prepare for environmental regulations now by using innovative MV switchgear design that eliminates SF6 use.
Using digital tools and apps for nearby monitoring and control increases safety and reduces arc flash hazards since electrical equipment can be operated from a safer distance....
