Diamo (Czech Republic)

The objective of the DIAMO project was to reduce iron for a
uranium mine remediation process.  
Details are provided in
“Wastewater Purification Enhancement by Electrochemistry”
presented at the 1995 AIChE Summer National Meeting.

This project led to the development of the proprietary high
surface area electrode, the Multilayer Mesh electrode (MLM).  
The MLM electrode overcame some of the restrictions of limiting
current density on mass transfer.  It also led to the development
of the ETC 48 electrolyzer.  This essentially marked the
beginning of the Electrolytic Organic Destruction (EOD)
technology.  

Sixteen skid-mounted ETC 48 electrolyzers were installed in the
Czech Republic for the Diamo project.  These electrolyzers were
the foundation of the ETC cell design that would be used later
for organic destruction.  A picture of three ETC-48 on one skid is
shown above.

Two skid-mounted systems were installed at DuPont.  A detailed description of the bench and pilot tests that were
conducted to develop this technology is provided in
“Electrolytic Oxidation of Formate and Oxalate”, presented at the
1996 AIChE Annual Meeting, Chicago, IL  Nov. 10-15, 1996.(click here to link to the article)

Two systems, each capable of oxidizing 4 lb/hr of formate and 2 lb/hr of oxalate at 2 and 1 wt% respectively, were
supplied.  Field performance verified the lab and pilot testing.  

Pictures of skid-mounted EOD units for DuPont are shown below.
