The document describes how free radical technology (FRT) works to treat effluent and wastewater. FRT uses an electrochemical cell to generate free radicals like hydroxyl and oxygen that form reactive bubbles to destroy organic matter. It can remove metals, suspended solids, bacteria, and reduce COD/BOD to treat effluent and increase water recycling. FRT has been used successfully in applications like treating pharmaceutical waste and could help with problems like odors, biofilms, and meeting environmental regulations for discharges.
