Every day we consume and swallow hormone preparations, antibiotics, antihistamines, painkillers, sleeping pills, stimulants, neuroleptics, vitamin preparations and dietary supplements, either prescribed by a doctor or voluntarily.

Some of these preparations are excreted by our bodies and enter our wastewater treatment plants via the sewage system.

If all fecal matter is effectively decomposed there via anaerobic and aerobic processes and suspended matter is filtered out, there is no standardized process for disinfecting, oxidizing or eliminating the above-mentioned substances.

APW developed the patented, controlled cavitation process for exactly this purpose.

APW masters and generates cavitation in a controlled process (see APW The Inventors). The implosion of cavitation bubbles releases large amounts of energy (5,000 °C / 1,000 bar) in a very small space (micrometer).

The thermal energy released is the catalyst that triggers the formation of hydroxyl radicals (O2H+) from the monomeric oxygen (O) and water molecules (H2O) dissolved in the water.

These hydroxyl radicals are approx. 2,000 times more powerful than chlorine in their disinfecting effect.

The hydroxyl radicals oxidize (disinfect) o.a. residual substances, rendering them ineffective and thus biologically inactive degradable substances.

With the APW technology, water and wastewater are completely and permanently disinfected with purely physical processes - without the use of chemicals - and harmful substances are neutralized and removed.
