As a leader in several emerging markets, and with decades of experience in municipal, industrial, petrochemical and refining applications, the Lummus experts are ready to help you solve your challenges. We can help your business with:

  • PFAS treatment – Uses proprietary technology to both remove per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) from the environment and destroy the forever chemicals completely
  • The treatment of high strength wastes containing high salt concentrations and difficult to treat contaminants such as spent caustics from ethylene and refinery productions  
  • Water reuse/recovery/recycling – Allows recycling and reuse of industrial and municipal wastewater sources
  • Waste to energy – Converts municipal sludge into energy or chemicals, such as sludge to syn gas, that can be used to produce energy or as a feedstock for chemical production

 

 

Zimpro Wet Air Oxidation Process

The Zimpro® wet air oxidation (WAO) process is the oxidation of soluble or suspended components in an aqueous environment using oxygen as the oxidizing agent and can be used to treat highly contaminated water.

PACT Process

Our powder activated carbon treatment (PACT®) process leverages a combination of biological treatment and carbon absorption into one step. The PACT process can treat wastewater to a higher degree than conventional processes, aiding in applications where discharge requirements are very low or water reuse is desired at the facility. 

Zimpro Electro Oxidation Process

The Zimpro® Electro Oxidation (ZEO) technology is a robust and effective technology, proven to destroy the most resilient contaminants including polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in both long and short chain lengths.
