The patented CCWS Bound State Oxidation process is embodied in a machine which applies multiple technologies in combination with advanced oxidation. The machine (named the PurState™ machine) has binding media that capture the water borne contaminants on active surface sites and pores of the binding media. The machine produces hydroxyl radicals and atomic oxygen and along with ultrasonic and ultraviolet energy destroys the contaminants to their constituent elements – hydrocarbons to water and CO2 – ionic metals to their oxides or natural ores.

In this invention, the oxidation takes place at room temperature, at atmospheric pressure, in situ, in water and in the bound state. The advantage of the Bound State water treatment process is that contaminates are collected and bound on a substrate and oxidized in situ so that no separation processes need occur. No intermediate products escape the oxidation reaction. No unsafe residual chemicals are created. The contaminate molecules are captured and held until the oxidation reactions carry out to completion. Disassociative sonic energy is delivered to the bound molecules as the oxidation is occurring. Oxidation also occurs to the water borne contaminants through high levels of oxygen created by a combination of ultraviolet energy to produce ozone, hydroxyl radicals, and sonoluminescence. This combination of functions provides by far the most aggressive technology in both removing and eliminating contaminants at the molecular level. Additional aggressiveness is achieved by moving the water through a series of reaction chambers. Energy requirements are minimal and excess energy is not lost in evaporating or boiling off water or contributing to side reactions creating unwanted secondary species.

The CCWS Bound State oxidation process and PurState™ machine provides an outstanding range of effectiveness. Hydrocarbons, heavy metals, cyanides, mercaptans, pathogenic organisms etc. are readily oxidized. The impact on microorganisms is more than killing them, the bodies are removed and destroyed, not collected. A similar impact occurs with organic chemicals; there are no residuals left in the machine or the water. The impact on inorganics is that they are converted to an inert, oxidized state in which they are considerably less soluble and therefore less able to travel or remain suspended in water or soil. Oxidized inorganics drop out and can be filtered.

The Bound State Oxidation Process is a significant 21st Century advance in terms of what is possible in water treatment and remediation. Apart from the outstanding removal of contaminants, the process in a machine changes the requirement to build large centralized treatment plants and provides a new level of safety, supply and environmental impact. Capital requirements are significantly reduced

Equipment Description

Media
The binding agents (media) used depend on the application requirements. Some contaminants are more successfully bound to certain media. New media are being developed continuously and any that are commercially available can be used. Binding agents include but are not limited to: activated and engineered carbons, silica and siliceous materials, sacrificial and other engineered clays, molecular sieves, reverse osmosis membranes, ion exchange media, zeolites, diatoms and diatomaceous earth, fullerenes, bucky balls and other forms of nanotubular carbons. Multiple reaction chambers enable use of different media in sequence for different target contaminants in a single application.

Within this process, the binding agent is regenerated so that properties are maintained and consumption is minimized. Media effectiveness is not diminished during the treatment process.

Hydrogen Peroxide Supply
The process uses 50% strength Hydrogen Peroxide (H2O2). Normal dosing is approximately 125 ppm. Dosing is controlled through sensors and metered pumps. Installation of equipment related to the peroxide, monitoring and re-supply is part of the service. Bound State Technologies will provide this service through a preferred partner such as US Peroxide. Detailed information on the equipment, services and site requirements is available in a similar form.

PurState™ Machine Parts
Machine components are engineered from materials that provide our customers with maximum service life in their applications. The core components are constructed of high quality stainless steel, quartz and Teflon polymers that provide a superb protection against corrosion and chemical degradation.

Machine Sizes
PurState™ machines are offered in 3 sizes
PurState ™ Model Gallons Per Minute
(GPM) Gallons Per Day
(GPD) Dimensions (ft)
CL030 208.3 300,000 4×7x4
CL062 434 625,000 6×12x5
CL125 868 1,250,000 8×16x6
Machines can be stacked vertically or placed side by side.

Site Requirements
Space requirements depend on the volume and size of the machine(s) for the application. A relatively small area for the footprint of the machine and the peroxide supply tank is needed. Machines can be stacked vertically if space is limited. A secured area, building to contain the machines, level concrete surface or 12 inch gravel bed with containment berm for the hydrogen peroxide tank, road access, electrical power and connections of pipes to the machine or baffles are also needed. Electrical service requires 220 volts.
Equipment for removal of solids (if present) must be added. Depending on the application, this could be a mesh, belt filter, or centrifugal separation equipment.
A forklift or crane is needed for unloading and positioning the equipment as delivered.

The location can be in the middle of a populated area. There are no issues with size, odor, safety, noise or visual pollution. The technology is also suited to in-line enhancement of an existing process and plant.

Site development and preparation is a project service that may be provided through an engineering partner.

Machine Optimization
There are two variables that can be established well before the installation begins. The choice of the optimum media and establishing the optimum dosing rate for hydrogen peroxide for the application. BSTI will conduct a series of trial runs and logging of test results. Test results are available to the customer and establish the performance goals for the application. This is part of our normal application Technical Assessment.

Influent Characteristics
Testing is done early to establish the veracity of the equipment using the source waters. In effect, the “treatment plant” can be tested with contaminant levels before it is installed or a long-term contract is signed.

Installation
Equipment services will include installation, shakedown, and start-up, testing and all maintenance of the equipment systems.
For the hydrogen peroxide supply, installation shall include stainless tubing to injection points, and portable containment basins where gravel beds cannot be provided. Double contained piping can be provided where required. Redundant hydrogen peroxide pumps can also be provided. At start-up, all metering pumps will be calibrated, and calibration curves will be provided.

Where continuous operation is critical, two or more PurState™ machines can be installed.

When significant swings of influent flow rate occur, machines can be started and stopped as required to increase or decrease capacity, either remotely or manually on-site.
Technical Assessment
This is a service that CCWS will conduct with the customer and a Project Engineering Partner as required. The goal is a technical compilation and assessment of the application requirements. Risk analysis, influent analysis, variant analysis, site analysis, result targets, project boundaries, engineering requirements, operational requirements; are addressed and a plan is developed. Influent analysis includes lab analysis and tests with the PurState™ machine.
This work is normally done in two phases, the first emphasizes fact-finding and the second emphasizes planning and a proposal. Both phases include fact-finding, analysis, and planning.

The second phase Technical Assessment is charged at cost on a time and materials basis. The site preparation, construction, PurState™ machine installation and machine set-up require this service.
Operation Monitoring
The PurState™ machine is capable of 24/7 “hands-off” operation. CCWS can provide regular maintenance service, maintain service and performance records of each machine, and ensure availability of parts and mobilize maintenance personal when needed. Remote monitoring of operation and throughput, and of hydrogen peroxide supply can be included in the service. Detailed records can be maintained of each day’s throughput, consumption of Hydrogen Peroxide, and checking of influent. Electricity is normally supplied and paid for by the customer.
Maintenance
Systems can be regularly inspected and checked throughout the contract period, and all maintenance work will be carried out as necessary. The initial start-up, training and testing period per the contract will include support at the installation site. During regular operation, the monitoring system or the customer sample tests may trigger non-scheduled maintenance. Machines are equipped with sensors that can shut them down for incorrect pressure, or failure of a part. Replacement of parts, including UV bulbs, pumps, media, and the ultrasonic components are part of the maintenance agreement. The machine life is expected to exceed ten years, with replacement of bulbs every six months being the most frequent requirement. CCWS services include on-site examination of the equipment and checking of systems on a regular basis. Also, every 6 months the machines will be shut down, serviced, flushed, bulbs replaced, and restarted.
