WHAT IS THE ZIMPRO® PROCESS? The process can convert organic contaminants to
carbon dioxide, water and biodegradable short
Is there a specific Zimpro® wet oxidation process design? No. A chain organic acids. Inorganic constituents such
broad range of both industrial and municipal application as sulfides and cyanides can also be oxidized. Wet
experience allows us to custom design a wet oxidation process oxidation can involve any or all of the following
based on the specific application and objectives. reactions:
Our experience runs from extensive R&D projects to the design Organics + O2 CO2 + H2O + RCOOH*
and construction of more than 150 systems worldwide. Sulfur Species + O2 SO4-2
Applications have involved: Organic Cl + O2 Cl-1 + CO2 + RCOOH*
Organic N + O2 NH3 + CO2 + RCOOH*
• A wide range of temperatures and pressures Phosphorus + O2 PO4-3
• The use of air, oxygen, or simply hydrolysis in the absence of
oxygen *short chain organic acids such as acetic acid
• A multitude of reactor designs and flow configurations, make up the major fraction of residual organic
including the use of catalyst compounds
