THERMOX
When Conventional Oxidation Reaches Its Limit
THERMOX is a high-performance wastewater treatment system from Diva Envitec Pvt Ltd based on the proven technology of Wet Air Oxidation (WAO). It is specifically designed for treating extremely high COD streams (>60,000 ppm) where conventional and catalytic oxidation systems face limitations. THERMOX enables effective breakdown of toxic and complex organic pollutants, making it ideal for the most challenging industrial effluents.
Wet Air Oxidation Chemistry & Reactor Engineering
Wet Air Oxidation (WAO)
uses oxygen/ozone at elevated temperature and pressure to oxidize organic pollutants in the liquid phase, converting them into simpler and less harmful compounds.
Hydrolysis-oxidation mechanism
simultaneous hydrolysis and oxidation reactions break down long-chain and toxic molecules into smaller, biodegradable intermediates.
Catalytic enhancement
proprietary catalysts improve reaction kinetics and oxidation efficiency, enabling higher COD reduction rates.
Plug flow reactor design
engineered as a skid-mounted plug flow reactor for controlled residence time, ensuring consistent and efficient treatment performance.
High COD reduction
effectively treats wastewater streams with COD levels exceeding 60,000 ppm, preparing them for downstream treatment or discharge.
High-COD Destruction & Process Advantages

High-Strength Industrial Effluent Applications
- Refineries and petrochemical plants
- Ethylene crackers (spent caustic streams)
- API and pharmaceutical industries
- Steel and coke oven by-product plants
- High COD industrial wastewater streams
Engineering Considerations
Wet Air Oxidation is a well-established technology for treating high-strength industrial wastewater, particularly where COD levels and toxicity exceed the limits of biological and conventional oxidation systems. THERMOX extends this capability with enhanced reactor design and catalytic integration for improved efficiency and reliability.
