Wet oxidation

Oxidation of dissolved and suspended organic components using oxygen at high temperatures and under pressure. The objective is to eliminate organic compounds that are too diluted to apply incineration or too concentrated to undergo biological treatment

Municipal solid waste, slurry from different types of livestock activity (pigs, cattle and poultry), sludge from waste water treatment plants, products from other processes such as anaerobic digestion

COD removal 75-90%; Conversion of organic nitrogen to ammoniacal nitrogen 78-86%.

Potential risk of gaseous emissions (NOx, SOx, H2S, HCl, dioxins, etc.), although lower than with other oxidative processes due to the liquid condition of the environment;
