MacrosoundMacrosound

Globe Protect has developed sonic hydrodynamic cavitation technology that can efficiently and effectively remediate water, wastewater and sludge, and can desalinate seawater, with lower costs and with mitigated environmental impact relative to the solutions utilized today.

Macrosound is high intensity sound and macro cavitation generated and delivered in a mechanical process.

The Macrosound process does not require filters or chemicals, which translates to low operational and maintenance cost.

Macrosound is a complete and disruptive shift in the traditional remediation process, which will impact an industry that has not had a new innovation in more than fifty years.

Biological Sludge Dewatering – Sonication of biological sludges from wastewater treatment plants using ultrasonic horns has been studied extensively. One of the fields of study for using sonication technologies is focused on the dewatering of biological sludges. Biological sludges (in particular digested or undigested waste activated sludge) can only be dewatered to about 25% solids using conventional methods. The macrosound unit could be installed prior to a conventional dewatering device. The highly variable ultrasonic frequencies emitted from the unit will lyse the cell walls of the sludge thereby increasing the total amount of free water in the sludge. This in turn allows the conventional dewatering unit to more efficiently remove water.

Digester enhancement – Sonication of biological sludges from wastewater treatment plants using ultrasonic horns has also been considered prior to anaerobic digestion. The lysing of the cell walls allows for greater methane production in the digester and thus better reduction of sludge solids. The macrosound unit could be installed in the piping prior to the digester in order to enhance the digester’s performance.

Wastewater Disinfection – The macrosound unit can inactivate pathogens in sludge samples, and could be used to treat the final water discharges from a wastewater treatment plant. The macrosound unit would be added to the final discharge piping in lieu of chlorination or some other means of disinfection prior to discharge.

Waste Water Treatment – Macrosound can be used in the sterilization of pathogens and the binding and deactivation of harmful components.

Fenton Reactions -- Fenton Reactions -- To treat difficult, hazardous wastes, expensive oxidation processes are sometimes To treat difficult, hazardous wastes, expensive oxidation processes are sometimes used. Fenton Reactions (adding H2O2 to water while adding a metal catalyst, FeSO4) are commonly used. Fenton Reactions (adding H2O2 to water while adding a metal catalyst, FeSO4) are commonly used to treat hazardous wastes but the process can be difficult to control. Since the macrosound unit can used to treat hazardous wastes but the process can be difficult to control. Since the macrosound unit can mix chemicals inside the chamber, it is possible that a Fenton reaction could be controlled more easily in mix chemicals inside the chamber, it is possible that a Fenton reaction could be controlled more easily in a macrosound unit. Additionally, a few research articles have noted that a Fenton Reaction is greatly a macrosound unit. Additionally, a few research articles have noted that a Fenton Reaction is greatly enhanced in the presence of ultrasonic frequencies. This is due to the fact that the metal catalyst must enhanced in the presence of ultrasonic frequencies. This is due to the fact that the metal catalyst must get very close to the hydrogen peroxide for the reaction to occur. The intense mixing and cavitation get very close to the hydrogen peroxide for the reaction to occur. The intense mixing and cavitation inside the macrosound unit allows for the reaction to happen more efficiently thus allowing an operator to inside the macrosound unit allows for the reaction to happen more efficiently thus allowing an operator to minimize the amount of chemicals needed for the reaction. minimize the amount of chemicals needed for the reaction.

Metals Precipitation -- Metals Precipitation -- In the steel industry as well as in the mining industry, the precipitation of heavy In the steel industry as well as in the mining industry, the precipitation of heavy metals from water is a necessary and costly process. One of the most common treatment methods for metals from water is a necessary and costly process. One of the most common treatment methods for precipitating heavy metals is called the high-density solids recycle process. This process uses slaked precipitating heavy metals is called the high-density solids recycle process. This process uses slaked lime and air to react with heavy metals. First, the addition of air oxidized the metals and then the lime and air to react with heavy metals. First, the addition of air oxidized the metals and then the addition of slaked lime raises the pH and causes the metals to precipitate as metal hydroxides.
