Less Wastewater TDS OPTIMASE® CA removes hydrogen peroxide by catalytic decomposition. Each single enzyme will catalytically convert millions of hydrogen peroxide molecules into water and oxygen. OPTIMASE® CA will decompose hydrogen peroxide to below the detection threshold. No additional reducing agents are needed and no increase in total dissolved solids is observed.
Cleaner Downstream Process Using OPTIMASE® CA eliminates the need for reducing salts or heavy metal addition to remediate hydrogen peroxide. The resulting low TDS and absence of additional toxic components lead to a cleaner DSP. This makes recycling easier through increased efficiency of RO systems and ion-exchange systems.
Reduced Environmental Footprint As a highly efficient catalytic converter of hydrogen peroxide, small amounts of amounts of OPTIMASE® CA can treat large volumes of H₂O₂-containing wastewater. Just one 1kg of OPTIMASE® CA can replace 125kg of sodium bisulfite when reducing hydrogen peroxide. This reduced need for materials, transport and warehousing results in a significantly lower environmental impact.
Increased Cost Efficiency OPTIMASE® CA provides a clear cost advantage over traditional remediation techniques through lower transport and storage costs, as well as a lower CAPEX needed for implementation. In addition, increased use of OPTIMASE® CA ensures longer life of expensive RO systems, and simplifies the recycling and reuse of wastewater streams in a time of increasing water scarcity and cost.
