Shanxi Datong yudong Waste Water Plant

Shanxi Datong Project: Wastewater Type: Pharmaceutical wastewater.

Process Evolution:

Phase I: Initially employed an Ozone Oxidation process, which failed to meet treatment targets. It was subsequently retrofitted into a Fluidized Bed Fenton process.

Phase II:  Adopted Magnetic Fenton technology.

Comparative Advantage: Both phases treat the same wastewater, providing a direct and fair comparison.

The Magnetic Fenton system demonstrated a 90% reduction in failure rate and a 40% reduction in operating costs compared to the Fluidized Bed Fenton system.

Annual operational savings exceeding 15 million RMB. This project serves as an ideal reference site for a side-by-side comparison of both Fenton technologies, allowing for direct data collection and validation of Magnetic Fenton's technical superiority.

Project Overview

With a total design capacity of 100,000 m3/day, the plant primarily treats wastewater from a pharmaceutical industrial park and pharmaceutical intermediate production, characterized by poor biodegradability and high difficulty in COD removal. The Phase I project initially adopted an ozone oxidation process as the advanced oxidation technology, which failed to meet the expected treatment targets. It was subsequently converted into a fluidized bed Fenton system, while the Phase II project directly employed the Magnetic Fenton technology.

1. Process Simplified from 3 Stages to 1: The effluent consistently meets the standard of less than 40 mg/L COD, eliminating the need for subsequent sand filtration and activated carbon filtration. This results in a significantly shortened process chain.

2. System Failure Rate Reduced by 90%: Reactor shutdowns for maintenance have been eliminated (saving over 2 million RMB annually), drastically reducing the on-site workload. Additionally, the need for media replacement or replenishment is completely removed.

3. Nearly 1 Million kWh of Electricity Saved Annually: This represents a substantial reduction in power consumption and associated carbon emissions.

4. Overall Operating Costs Reduced by 40%: Annual operational savings exceeding 15 million RMB.
