Explanation: The EE/O for Xylene in kWh/1000 US gal/order is 2-5. This is also known as dimethyl benzene. This is also called as xylol.

Explanation: Advanced oxidation processes in a broad sense, are a set of chemical treatment procedures designed to remove organic materials in water and wastewater by oxidation through reactions with hydroxyl radicals.

Explanation: Advanced oxidation processes, in a broad sense, are a set of chemical treatment procedures designed to remove organic (and sometimes inorganic) materials in water and wastewater by oxidation through reactions with hydroxyl radicals.

Explanation: The term AOP usually refers more specifically to a subset of such chemical processes that employ ozone (O3), hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and/or UV light. One such type of process is called in situ chemical oxidation.

Explanation: The cost of advanced oxidation processes are usually high since there is a continuous input of expensive chemical reagents that are required for the operation.

Explanation: The cost of advanced oxidation processes are usually high since there is a continuous input of expensive chemical reagents that are required for the operation. The system requires hydroxyl radicals and other reagents proportional to the number of contaminants to be removed.

Explanation: The oxidative potential of hydroxyl radical is 2.28 V, the oxidation potential of ozone is 2.07 V and the oxidation potential of hydrogen peroxide is 1.78 V.

Explanation: the EE/O for 1,4 dioxane in kWh/1000 US gal/order is 2-6. With the EE/O value, the UV dosage can be calculated. With the UV dosage required, the cost of electricity can be calculated.

Explanation: The EE/O for atrazine in kWh/1000 US gal/order is 30. This is used in calculating the UV dosage required to oxidize atrazine. The EE/O value differs from one organic compound to the other.

Explanation: The EE/O for benzene in kWh/1000 US gal/order is 2-5. The EE/O for chlorobenzene in kWh/1000 US gal/order is 5. Benzene and chlorobenzene are aromatic compounds.

Explanation: The EE/O for DCA in kWh/1000 US gal/order is 15. DCA is dichloro acetic acid. This requires a reduction catalyst prior to the UV dosage.

Explanation: The EE/O for chloroform in kWh/1000 US gal/order is 15. Chloroform is also called as trichloromethane. This requires a reduction catalyst prior to the UV dosage.

Explanation: UV dosage = EE/O log(Ci)/(Cf). Where Ci is the initial concentration. Cf is the final concentration.

Explanation: Total operating cost = 1.45 x electrical cost + Peroxide cost. This cost would be in $ per 1000US gallon. The cost of hydrogen peroxide is hydrogen peroxide concentration in ppm x ($ 0.005 / ppm/1000 US gallon).

Explanation: UV power = [UV dosage x 60 x flow(US gallons)]/1000. Once the UV power is known capital cost can be calculated. The UV power varies proportionally with the flow.

Explanation: The EE/O for Vinyl chloride in kWh/1000 US gal/order is 2-3. This is an organic chloride. It is used to produce poly vinyl chloride.

Explanation: The EE/O for TCA in kWh/1000 US gal/order is 15. This is also called tricarboxylic acid. This requires a reduction catalyst prior to the UV dosage.
