3 Major Solutions From Accent

• Destroy COD causing organics. Unit

can be operated and designed for 0

COD outlet.

• Removes Color from dye house waste

• Destroys recalcitrant COD (Non bio –

degradable organics)

6

Process Chemistry

• COD value is oxygen required for complete oxidation

of organics

• Accent works on the same principle

Reaction 1

NaOCl + => CAT - O + NaCl

Reaction 2 (partial oxidation)

ORG + CAT - O => ORG - O + CAT

Reaction 3 (total mineralisation)

ORG - O + CAT - O => CO32- + H2O + CAT

Impact of Catalysis in the process

• Lab experiments– Solute: ethyl acetate

• 600 mls solution

• Catalyst: 15 mls

• EtAc 0.12-0.14 mM

– Ethyl Acetate is relatively refractory

– Data show significant oxidation rate enhancement by the catalyst

– Data analysis shows catalysed reaction is second order

ACCENT™ ACCENT™ ACCENT™ ACCENT™ : Main Process Features

• Feed tank

• Pre heating -- Use of plant waste steam.

– Typical operating temperature 30-50 °C

• Controlled addition of dosing chemicals

– Sodium hypochlorite + caustic soda

– Based on feed flow and measured concentration

– Responds to variations in feed

• Hydraulic flow reactor at ambient pressure

– Multiple fixed catalyst beds within one vessel

• Continuous monitoring of effluent

– Monitors hypo & contaminants and optimize

dosing.

• Fully automated control

– Continuous measurement of the feed stream

– Requirement for in-line monitoring / control of pH

• Only periodic sampling for pH verification

required
