Electrolytic Organic Destruction (EOD) Economics

EOD can offer an economical alternative to hauling waste, activated carbon or the use of chemical oxidants.  The table
below illustrates that using only electricity can offer savings versus the use of common chemical oxidants.

Electrochemical processes such as EOD often show additional economic advantages when the full process is taken into
account.  For example, in the case of treating the waste off site one has to consider the energy to concentrate the waste
water, the cost to haul it to a treatment facility, the cost of treatment and the long term potential liability with the process
and final disposal of any residuals.  When all of these factors are taken into account, the electrochemical process is often
less expensive.
