Team Roberts scientists are developing an advanced industrial wastewater treatment technology in collaboration with SIRC. With nearly 640 billion m3 of industrial wastewater produced annually, the project targets a rapidly growing market valued $350 billion globally, with Saudi Arabia expected to reach $1.3 billion by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 8.2%.
The project uses acoustic cavitation to treat wastewater, significantly reducing chemical costs and enabling a more sustainable and less chemically-intensive process. As a result, this technology reduces for the secondary/oxidative step than existing technologies and cavitation as a technological platform helps achieve it.
Treatment of organic pollutants in wastewater effluents is achieved through the combined action of acoustic cavitation, UV radiation, and hydrogen peroxide in a modular and integrated solution. The technology is feed-flexible, making it applicable to effluents from a wide range of industries (e.g. pharmaceutical, petrochemical, food processing and so on). Designed as a modular retrofit solution, it can be easily integrated into existing treatment plants to enhance downstream process efficiency.
