Advanced Oxidation Process for Emergency Wastewater Treatment

A Rapid, Scalable Solution for Complex Contaminants

When industrial accidents or environmental emergencies strike, wastewater can quickly become contaminated with dangerous, persistent compounds. In these critical moments, conventional treatment systems often fall short—especially when dealing with hard-to-remove substances like persistent organic pollutants (POPs), BTEX, pharmaceuticals, and cyanide. These contaminants not only resist biological breakdown but pose significant health and ecological risks if left untreated.

The Advanced Oxidation Process (AOP) from Streamline Innovations offers a powerful and flexible solution for rapid response scenarios—delivering fast, effective treatment of contaminated water using our reactive chemistry.

Emergency Wastewater Treatment Scenarios

There are several scenarios that can result in an urgent need for water treatment:

  • Contaminated Water from Fire Suppression: Fighting large fires at industrial facilities, such as crude oil refineries, petrochemical plants, tank farms, and gas processing plants often requires substantial amounts of water, which then becomes contaminated with hydrocarbons, chemicals, and potentially toxic byproducts of combustion.
  • Pollutant Release: During an emergency, a facility upset can release oil, gas, leachate, and hazardous substances into the surrounding environment, potentially contaminating surface water, groundwater, and soil.
  • Wastewater Overflow and Spills: The influx of contaminated water from fire suppression or damage to containment systems can lead to overflows and spills of wastewater into nearby waterways.

Why Emergency Wastewater Treatment Needs a Better Approach

Emergencies demand immediate action. Whether from chemical spills, unplanned discharges, or compromised infrastructure, the resulting wastewater can’t wait for slow to implement, capital-intensive solutions. Many pollutants don’t degrade easily through traditional means.

The Power of Hydroxyl Radicals

AOP works by generating hydroxyl radicals (•OH) in situ—right within the contaminated water stream—using our catalyst and hydrogen peroxide. These radicals are among the most powerful oxidizers known, capable of breaking down a wide range of complex organic molecules quickly and thoroughly.

Unlike conventional oxidants, hydroxyl radicals:

  • Have a higher oxidation potential
  • React indiscriminately with most organic contaminants

The AOP process takes place at neutral pH, making it less complex and more environmentally preferred option than a traditional standard Fenton’s reagent.

Rapid Deployment. Minimal Footprint.

AOP is uniquely suited for emergency responses because it:

  • Requires low capital expenditure
  • Deploys quickly thanks to its liquid-to-liquid application
  • Scales easily to treat varying volumes and contaminant concentrations
  • Operates with minimal ongoing operational expense
  • Extends the integrity of wastewater infrastructure by reducing corrosive agents and hard-to-treat compounds

AOP is ideal for a wide range of critical and emergency uses, including:

  • Emergency Industrial Response. Rapid treatment of wastewater after spills, chemical releases, or unplanned discharges
  • Mining Operations. Destruction of cyanide and other persistent mining-related contaminants
  • Landfill Leachate. Effective treatment of complex organics in leachate streams
  • Pharmaceutical & Food Processing. Breakdown of pharmaceutical residues and organic loads from food production
  • Brine Water Treatment. Enhanced treatment of produced or flowback water in energy operations
  • Textile & Chemical Manufacturing. Elimination of dyes, solvents, and other refractory organics

A Smarter, Safer Path to Clean Water—Fast

In an emergency, the clock is ticking. AOP delivers a fast-acting, powerful, and environmentally preferred treatment solution that can be mobilized immediately and scaled to the challenge at hand. Whether responding to an industrial spill or treating contaminated process water, AOP offers peace of mind and proven performance when it’s needed most.

Convert Acid Gas into CCS Tax Credits and Eliminate Flaring

Acid gas, also known as amine overhead gas, is a blend of acidic gases including carbon dioxide (CO2) and hydrogen sulfide (H2S), and a common byproduct of various industrial processes, including natural gas processing, refining and chemical production. These gases are considered “acidic” because they can dissolve in water to form acids, leading to a decrease in pH when released into the environment. These gases, known for their corrosive properties, pose significant risks to the environment, human health and industrial equipment if not properly managed.

Where Acid Gas Comes from – Amine Sweeting

In many industrial settings dealing with sour gas, sweetening processes are employed to remove hydrogen sulfide (H2S) using methods like amine scrubbing. Amine gas treating, or sweetening, is frequently used in high volume applications, such as natural gas processing plants and refineries. Amine sweetening systems, however, generates an acid gas stream that requires careful handling and disposal.

Traditional Acid Gas Disposal Methods (Pros/Cons)

Traditional methods of disposing of acid gas include flaring and injection into specialized Acid Gas Injection (AGI) wells.

Flares and Enclosed Combustors:

  • Pros: Flaring is simple and can use existing infrastructure.
  • Cons: Key drawbacks include the fact that flaring may not be a permitted use in some jurisdictions and burning acid gas produces harmful SO2 emissions.

Acid Gas Injection (AGI) Wells:

  • Pros: Can be safe and a permanent solution.
  • Cons: AGI may not be permitted in some jurisdictions, permitting may take 1-3 years, if at all. Additionally, it is expensive to get started and requires ongoing monitoring of the potential impact on groundwater and other long-term environmental concerns. AGI wells also present a potential single point of failure, increasing the risk of unplanned downtime.

Liquid Redox for Acid Gas Treating

Next generation Liquid Redox technology offers a revolutionary approach to acid gas treatment by utilizing a Reduction-Oxidation (Redox) chemical reaction. Acid gas containing H2S exits the Liquid Redox system sweet (without H2S) and the elemental sulfur is filtered out of the regenerated chemistry where it can be reused, further reducing costs. The sulfur can be used for organic food production. This process not only eliminates the need for flaring or AGI but also delivers pure CO2 for carbon capture and storage (CCS).

  • Pros: Eco-friendly, eliminate flaring, eliminate AGI, cost-effective, deliver pure CO2 for CCS or industrial use.
  • Cons: None.

Using Liquid Redox Chemistry to Treat Sulfides in Wastewater for Odor Control

At the root of most odors generated from wastewater operations is When organic matter decomposes anaerobically (without oxygen), sulfur compounds are converted in hydrogen sulfide (H2S), which is a foul smelling, noxious, corrosive and flammable gas.  This can occur in water where the hydrosulfide ions (HS-) are produced in solution and carried along until the outgas as H2S, creating the familiar rotten egg stench.   

Exposure to hydrogen sulfide may cause irritation to the eyes and respiratory system. It can also cause apnea, coma, convulsions, dizziness, headache, weakness, irritability, insomnia and stomach issues. (Source – CDC)

Wastewater H2S Treatment Plant

Additionally, H2S is a major cause of odors in wastewater treatment systems and is notable for its toxicity and its ability to corrode various materials used in sewer and treatment plant construction. (Source – EPA)

Much effort and many technologies have been developed and applied to combat H2S in both aqueous and gas phases, with varying degrees of expense, effectiveness, and side effects.   

One particularly effective method of treating H2S in solution is Liquid Redox.  While normally associated with treating H2S as a gas, liquid redox catalyst can be applied in the aqueous phase in combination with hydrogen peroxide to effectively and economically reduce dissolved sulfides and eliminating H2S odor problems.

We cover Liquid Redox and other H2S treatment methods in our White Paper Wastewater Odor Control Technology and Best Practices.

The key to the success of liquid redox treatment is the regenerative nature of the reaction.  It starts with a chelated (pronounced: key-late-ed) iron catalyst that has a strong affinity for the hydrogen atom in the hydrosulfide ion that destroys the sulfide, leaving elemental sulfur.  If the process stopped right there, it would be neither effective nor economical because the volume of catalyst would need to match the volume of sulfides.  

However, it does not stop there.  The second part is introducing hydrogen peroxide, an effective means of delivering oxygen in water, reacts with the reduced catalyst by taking the hydrogen and thus reactivating the chelated iron to react with yet another HS- ion.  This process continues until either all the oxygen is consumed or all the HS- is destroyed.   

The first part of the reaction is called “reduction”, the sulfide is reduced, and the reactivation of the catalyst is “oxidation”, the catalyst is oxidized.  The whole process together is known as “Liquid Redox”. 

There are several benefits to using Liquid Redox: 

  • First, it works.  High sulfides can be treated to non-detect levels, reducing odor and damage to pipes and equipment.   
  • Second, while more expensive than competitive chemical on a per gallon basis, the fact that the same catalyst reacts again and again with sulfides, less chemicals are required making Liquid Redox more economical from a total cost of treatment perspective.   
  • Third, Streamline’s liquid redox catalyst is safe to handle and transport and is a green biodegradable technology with no harmful byproducts. 

Streamline Innovations offers a particularly robust chelated iron catalyst, known as TALON®.  TALON chemistry is the keystone of the TALON Sulfide Elimination System, which helps reduce odor issues in industrial and municipal wastewater streams across the United States.  www.streamlineinnovations.com

Streamline Innovations Converts Another TALON™ Sulfide Elimination System Pilot Project into a Permanent Installation at Large Food Processing Plant

Successful Installation of TALON® Sulfide Elimination System™

Streamline Innovations in partnership with VWT Industrial, recently completed a successful 14-day pilot project for wastewater odor control at a large food processing plant in South Dakota. Based on the successful pilot, the customer approved transition to a permanent TALON® Sulfide Elimination System™ (TSES) system installation.

The water from the plant’s wastewater treatment plant can discharge excessive amounts of H2S to the municipal sewer system, generating substantial fines. Streamline was brought in by VWT to assess the problem and implement a quick solution.

The TSES system was brought in on a trial basis to evaluate its efficacy in controlling odors at the site.

Once the TSES was optimized, the customer has not had one fine since TSES implementation.

Process upsets and inclement weather created challenges, however, the TSES system once fully implemented with automation will provide consistent H2S control for the customer.

We are excited about this partnership and look forward to more industrial H2S related opportunities in the future.

TSES is one of Streamline’s differentiated technologies developed for Wastewater H2S and Odor Control.

Additional Resources

ln our latest white paper Wastewater Odor Control Technology and Best Practices we cover traditional H2S treatment technologies in detail and the best practices in noxious odor control for wastewater facilities.

The TALON™ Sulfide Elimination System (TSES) from Streamline Innovations is a next generation Redox process for H2S treatment in both the water and vapor stages, eliminating foul odors without the downsides of traditional H2S treating methods.
