THE NEW PARADIGM FOR WASTEWATER-PROCESSING / WASTEWATER-RECYCLING

 
 

These were some of the headlines of articles in recent “ water magazines” :

  1. Water plays a leading role in the transformation of commodity exploration
  2. Water reuse provides a key opportunity for a long term supply option
  3. Where’s the money for municipal utilities?

And when you add all of the recent articles about “Smart Cities,” we suggest that it’s time for our industry, our governments and our municipal utilities to see the solutions for those problems and circumstances: a wastewater system that totally eliminates all organic wastewater sludge (the number one contaminant on this planet) and RECYCLES the wastewater effluent to be 100% re-usable and even potable!

The only system that does that: (a) has recently received its U.S. Patent approval; and (b) has been manufacturing these systems for the U.S. Military: the Global Water Group (Dallas, TX.) “WWR” (Wastewater-and Wastewater Recycling) technology.


 

Why is this Global WWR System different than any other system?

First, Global’s WWR System is the only system of its kind on this planet and recently has been recognized by the United States Patent Office with U.S. Patent No.: 9,908,800 . This application was originally filed on April 14, 2011 and the patent was just issued on March 6, 2018; and back in 2011 additional applications had been filed in 143 countries: of which all are still under consideration.

Second. In the final process of the water purification of the Global system, a second patented totally unique process will soon be included in these WWR systems. This process utilizes Nano-Technology, created in conjunction with the United States Department of Energy, and will make a revolutionary improvement in all water purification for the next century. This nano-process has already received patents in 47 countries, including: the United States, Canada, Mexico, The European Union, Russia, Singapore, Israel, South Africa and more.

Third. Global has proven its WWR Systems for the U.S. Military (Special Forces) in Base Camps in Iraq and Afghanistan, Navy EOD & Seals, and several oil and gas offshore drilling operations for almost 10 years. Now is the time to make these systems available for municipalities.

Fourth. In the simplest terms, what makes the Global WWR System so different, so good and so needed is that:

(1) At the end of the day, all of the organic sludge shall have been eliminated with no organic sludge required to be physically removed or disposed of; and

(2) 100% of the effluent shall meet the qualities required for re-use: even potability.

No other system can process wastewater like this.

Current municipal wastewater processes, in some form or fashion, create organic sludge: the number one contaminant in the world. Every system has one or more anaerobic processes. Sludge is either hauled away, at some additional cost, and dumped or disposed of creating some potential environmental problem; or sludge is “burned” either for fuel or pure disposal, often with bad environmental results; or sludge is used for fertilizer, which is potentially an environmental hazard waiting to happen.

There is really no “net” benefit to sludge.

The Global system’s ‘Digester’ uses an accelerated extended aeration process of “air and enzymes”: enzymes that create environmentally correct bacteria to eat up all of the organics. They dissipate, harmlessly, into the air. From the Digester the clear wastewater flows through a Clarifier which is sized to ensure that suspended solids settle and separate from the liquid where almost all suspended solids are continuously drawn up by a vacuum process and discharged back into the Digester. The principle in the Clarifier is to never create more sludge and never let suspended solids escape the Digester process.

The effluent from the Clarifier goes into a Global Recycling Process which captures all suspended solids to about 10-microns and send those solids back to the Digester process.

From the Recycling Process, the effluent flows into Global’s Water Purification process. According to the World Health Organization, as a simple analysis to truly purify water today, it takes three components:

  1. Filtration below 1-Micron for removal of parasites; 
  2. Absorption/adsorption for removal of hazardous chemicals (heavy metals, insecticides, pesticides, radon, etc.); and
  3. A process ( Ultra-violet , ozone, chlorine, etc.) for killing bacteria and viruses.

Each of these three components is a separate process and almost no municipal system actually does all three processes. Therefore, few of us get “purified” drinking water from our faucets at home. In many ways our federal and state “water standards” for potable water does not cover all of the requirements as stated by the WHO. So our municipal water utilities report, most often, that they meet the (less stringent) government standards.

For 28 years, Global Water Group has been manufacturing systems: from back-packs to base camps, for the U.S. Military that follow the multi-faceted principals recommended by the World Health Organization. Every Global system will remove the parasites from water; remove the hazardous chemicals from water; and will kill the bacteria and viruses.

The effluent from the entire WWR System becomes 100% re-usable water.

Global Water has been manufacturing water systems, primarily for the U.S. Military, since 1990. During these 28 years it has been a niche business with systems deployed to five continents and over 40 countries. Now Global is ready to provide municipal systems which will be the water solutions for the next century. Global has developed a Public Private Partnership financing concept to fund most new municipal water systems without increasing current water rates and without requiring new municipal bonds. Global’s modular building technology makes systems faster to build and install, easier to operate and easier to maintain.
