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.
