What are the benefits of the Advanced Oxidation Process?

The Advanced Oxidation Process (AOP) is particularly effective at removing total organic carbons (TOC) from water. AOP utilizes strong oxidants, such as ozone, hydrogen peroxide, or ultraviolet light, to generate hydroxyl radicals that can break down complex organic compounds into simpler molecules. This process enhances water quality by removing contaminants that are not readily treatable by conventional methods.

Additionally, AOP creates barriers for microorganisms. The strong oxidative environment not only degrades organic materials that can provide nutrients for bacteria but also helps in disinfection by effectively inactivating pathogens. Therefore, using AOP can lead to a significant improvement in water safety and aesthetic qualities, making it a vital technology in advanced water treatment.
