An advanced oxidation process (AOP), in a broad sense, are a set of chemical treatment procedures designed to remove organic (and sometimes inorganic) materials in drinking, process, and wastewater by oxidation through reactions with hydroxyl radicals (OH minus).
For UVOX Redox water treatment, this refers to the chemical process that employs the (already) dissolved ozone (O3) in water and the irradiation with UV-light (254 nm) resulting the formation of a hydroxyl radical, which is an extremely powerful oxidant.
Inactivation of persistent microorganisms such as: Cryptosporidium, Giardia, and Legionella by ripping off their protective epidermis (skin) effectively. In this way the UVOX Redox triple purification process can penetrate the cell.
Many hazardous, persistent micropollutants (such as pesticide, hormones, rest of medicine, and other disinfection by-products (D.B.P.`s)) are efficiently downgraded.
