## Industrial Wastewater Is Getting Harder to Treat

Traditional treatment systems struggle with:

High COD and toxic organic compounds

Poor biodegradability

Increasing discharge regulations

Rising chemical and disposal costs

For many operations, existing systems are no longer sufficient to meet compliance or reuse targets.

## A Proven Alternative to Conventional Treatment

Our BDD electrochemical systems break down complex organic pollutants at a molecular level—without reliance on chemical dosing.

Designed for industrial environments, the technology enables:

- Deep oxidation of persistent contaminants
- Stable performance across variable wastewater conditions
- Reduced reliance on chemicals and consumables

## Engineered for High-Performance Industrial Treatment

Effective treatment of COD levels from moderate to extremely high concentrations

Proven across multiple industrial sectors and wastewater types

Capable of meeting discharge, reuse, and ZLD requirements

Designed for continuous operation in industrial environments

## Applications Across High-Impact Industries

Our systems are deployed in industries where wastewater is complex, toxic, or difficult to treat:

Mining and metallurgy

Petrochemical and chemical processing

Pharmaceutical manufacturing

Energy and industrial production

## FAQ

Which sectors use your solutions?

We serve mining, petrochemical, pharmaceutical, energy, and advanced manufacturing industries wherever complex wastewater and strict compliance requirements exist.

What types of wastewater can BDD treat?

BDD systems handle highly complex and toxic wastewater, including high COD streams, chemical waste, RO concentrate, and industrial effluents with poor biodegradability.

How effective is the treatment?

BDD technology significantly reduces COD and organic pollutants, often from extremely high levels down to discharge or reuse standards depending on system design.

What are the operating costs?

Operating costs are primarily electricity-based, with no chemical consumables required, making performance predictable and easier to manage.

What is the typical capital cost?

Capital cost depends on wastewater composition and scale, with systems engineered to match each project's treatment requirements and performance targets.

How scalable is the system?

The system is modular and can be scaled from pilot units to larger industrial plants by adding parallel treatment modules.

Can it integrate with existing systems?

Yes. BDD can be added to existing treatment plants as a polishing or advanced treatment stage to improve performance and meet stricter standards.

What results can clients expect?

Clients can expect reliable treatment performance, improved compliance outcomes, and stronger water reuse potential while reducing environmental risk.

Can the BDD technology remove hazardous compounds such as Arsenic ions and lead ions?

BDD technology does not directly remove heavy metals such as arsenic or lead from water. These are elemental contaminants, so they cannot be destroyed through oxidation.

What BDD does very effectively is act as a pre-treatment step, for example, it converts arsenic into a form that is much easier to remove using conventional processes like iron coagulation.

For lead, removal is typically achieved through established methods such as chemical precipitation or filtration.

So, in practice, BDD is used as part of an integrated treatment system, where it enhances overall treatment efficiency, especially when complex or toxic compounds are also present.

The real strength of BDD is in destroying organic pollutants and toxic compounds like cyanide or pharmaceuticals. When it comes to heavy metals, it supports the process rather than replacing conventional removal methods.
