REDOXY® – The Ultimate Revolution in Advanced Water Treatment Technology

Introduction

In today’s rapidly growing industrial world, water contamination has become one of the most critical environmental challenges. Industries such as petrochemicals, mining, pharmaceuticals, textiles, food processing, and municipal wastewater treatment plants continuously face difficulties in removing complex pollutants from water. Traditional treatment methods often require multiple treatment stages, high chemical consumption, and expensive operational costs.

To address these challenges, REDOXY® by WATCH WATER® GmbH, Germany introduces a groundbreaking innovation that combines Oxidation, Adsorption, and Filtration into a single advanced solution. This revolutionary technology is transforming the way industries treat wastewater by providing superior contaminant removal, enhanced oxidation efficiency, and sustainable water purification.

What is REDOXY®?

REDOXY® is an advanced water treatment technology specifically designed to remove difficult contaminants through a unique combination of:

• Advanced Oxidation Processes (AOP)

• Adsorption Mechanisms

• High-Efficiency Filtration
  

Unlike conventional systems that require separate treatment units for oxidation, adsorption, and filtration, REDOXY® integrates all three processes into one powerful media, making it one of the most innovative solutions in modern water treatment. The technology is engineered to generate highly reactive oxidizing species capable of breaking down persistent contaminants while simultaneously adsorbing and filtering impurities.

The Science Behind REDOXY®

The effectiveness of REDOXY® lies in its ability to generate powerful oxidizing radicals and ferrate compounds that aggressively attack pollutants.

Key Active Species Generated

1. Hydroxyl Radicals (•OH)

Hydroxyl radicals are among the strongest oxidizing agents known in water treatment.

Benefits include:

• Rapid degradation of organic pollutants

• Breakdown of pesticides

• Removal of pharmaceutical residues

• Elimination of odors and colors

• Reduction of Total Organic Carbon (TOC)
  

Hydroxyl radicals react non-selectively with contaminants, making them highly effective against a wide variety of pollutants.

2. Sulfate Radicals (SO₄•⁻)

Sulfate radicals possess high oxidation potential and longer lifetimes compared to hydroxyl radicals.

Advantages include:

• Effective treatment of industrial wastewater

• Enhanced degradation of complex organic compounds

• Better performance under varying pH conditions

• Improved removal of emerging contaminants
  

These radicals are particularly valuable in petrochemical and chemical processing industries.

3. Ferrate Radicals (FeO₄²⁻)

Ferrate compounds are considered environmentally friendly oxidants because they eventually convert into harmless iron hydroxides.

Key benefits:

• Strong oxidation capability

• Simultaneous coagulation effect

• Heavy metal removal

• Pathogen reduction

• Sludge volume reduction
  

Ferrate technology represents the next generation of sustainable oxidation systems.

4. Carbonate Radicals (CO₃•⁻)

Carbonate radicals contribute to selective oxidation processes and enhance the overall efficiency of contaminant degradation.

Their presence helps improve:

• Organic pollutant destruction

• Industrial wastewater treatment

• Long-term oxidation performance

Strongest Oxidation Power with ORP > 8.0 V

One of the most remarkable features of REDOXY® is its exceptional oxidation capability.

Oxidation Reduction Potential (ORP)

ORP measures the oxidizing power of a treatment system.

REDOXY® achieves:

ORP > 8.0 Volts

This extremely high oxidation potential allows the system to:

• Destroy resistant organic pollutants

• Oxidize dissolved metals

• Eliminate odor-causing compounds

• Reduce toxic contaminants

• Improve overall water quality
  

Such performance significantly exceeds many traditional oxidation methods.

Three Technologies in One Solution

1. Oxidation

The generated radicals aggressively attack contaminants and convert them into simpler, less harmful compounds.

Removes:

• VOCs

• Phenols

• Pesticides

• Pharmaceutical residues

• Organic pollutants

2. Adsorption

REDOXY® adsorbs dissolved contaminants onto its surface structure.

Targets:

• Heavy metals

• Toxic chemicals

• Dissolved organics

• Color-causing compounds
  

This improves overall treatment efficiency and extends contact time for oxidation reactions.

3. Filtration

The media also acts as an efficient filtration system by trapping suspended particles and oxidation by-products.

Benefits:

• Lower turbidity

• Cleaner water

• Reduced suspended solids

• Improved downstream performance

Major Advantages of REDOXY®
